Hello everyone!

Hope all is going great
with you. The weather is starting to warm up so start making sure the bike is clean, the oil is changed, and you’re ready to roll. I would like to talk to you about your chapter meetings. The thing is that no, you don't have to attend the meetings, but you don’t know if there is a lot going on or not. You have control at the meeting and a say of what is going to be done and what is not, so if there is nothing going on whose fault is it? If you can't make a meeting, no big deal but try and hit the next one. If you are new to the chapter, you have the same voice as the guy that's been there 30 years.
The L&L Seminar is over and went over great. Next up is the Rights Rally on June 2nd so please plan on coming and join us at the State Capitol. A chance to meet with the Senators and Representatives that are speaking to us and the presentation of our scholarship to someone deserving that help with the cost of school. We are also having the Ride to the Rally again
this year. It’s a great ride across the state on back roads. We’re starting somewhere new this year - in Crawford County just outside Meadville at Street Track ‘N Trail motorcycle dealership (13723 Conneaut Lake Rd #6821, Conneaut Lake, PA 16316) and zig zagging
across the state.
Next thing coming up is Hazen. We have another great committee that is working hard to make this year’s party fun, exciting and safe for everyone. There is more information further on.
State raffle tickets are out so get some, and get them sold. Also get some road signs! They need distributed across the state at bike shops, garages, representatives’ offices, insurance companies and anywhere you can put them, please get them out.
Now it's about time to get your motorcycle friends and do some motorcycle things.
Thanks, Mersh
