Lake George Weather

Hello to all the Adirondack HOG Members,

I want to thank all the members that took the time to attend our January regular meeting, 45 members, a few guests, and three members of the Sacandaga Chapter. I have to admit it was a little intimidating to see a packed house, but we are a great group of motorcyclists and survived.

Next, I want to extend an additional thank you to all our members that worked so hard on making “The Village of Cheer” such a success. Over $2300 was raised and donated to High Peaks Hospice. Thank you to all our members and businesses that contributed to our Christmas Families and all those that shopped, wrapped, and delivered the gifts and meals to three deserving area families. I would also like to thank Jamie Erickson for the effort and co-coordinating of the Chapter Hockey Night at the Glens Falls Civic Center scheduled for January 23rd. Thanks to Pat and Alise McDermott for attending and presenting the Chapter with the proceeds from the Holiday Gift Wrapping. It is great to see our sponsoring dealership being involved. I could go on endlessly with thank you notes to our membership and I apologize that I don’t have the space to name all the individuals.

The motion was made and accepted by membership to not have an annual charity event this year. The annual event took a lot of time and effort by the volunteers and organizing personnel for the small return we received to donate to charity. This is not saying that the Chapter Officers have turned their backs on some form of easier and/or different type of fund raising activities as a group. Our basket sales have done tremendously well and we shall continue to do this. The officers have discussed a few other options and we shall have more information at a later date. Membership is also encouraged to suggest any ideas, submit them to one of the officers by e-mail or printed version and they shall also be discussed.

A couple more quick items, the by-law amendments that were included in the December newsletter have had two concerns raised thus far and these will be discussed at the next officers meeting. If changes are made the proposal will be sent out in a future newsletter. If no changes are deemed necessary then the Chapter will vote on the amended by-laws at the February regular meeting. Next, I want to make sure all membership knows that the official minutes from previous regular meetings can be amended at the following regular meeting before they become permanent record.

Spring is coming and riding season will be here soon.
