Happy New Year!
Another new year! More opportunities for fun and games! I’m looking forward to it!
We had a lot of fun during the last year. Quite a few rides, several camping trips, and a lot of socializing with good friends.
The Christmas party was well attended and I think it is fair to say that everyone has a good time. The White Elephant gift exchange went over very well.
2012 Marks the 35th anniversary of the GWRRA. A Carribbean Cruise is being offered if you are so inclined. Also, an enhanced Find a Friend Program for member enhancement has been announced that can result in some nice prizes. Check www.gwrra.org for details.

A few words from our Chapter Educator, Greg Meath:
Well, here we are in middle of winter, kind of like a hump day. We are getting closer and closer to riding season. I hope that Santa was good to you and your bike. It is time to start thinking about riding gear. If you are going to the bike show in either Chicago or Minneapolis, you can pick up a new jacket or maybe a helmet. They don't have the selection you would see at Wing Ding, or the Davis Rally, but they are later in the year so if you need it now, this is the one. Helmets, in particular, are one of the things that get worse with age, not better. The protection that it gives you degrades with time, and use. There is usually some new and perhaps better things like cooling vests and maybe something chrome, too.
There are always a few positions open to fill, any assistance in these spots would be very much appreciated:
