PIGTAILS

DIRECTOR'S CORNER

Did anyone see where our summer went? We’re into September and I can not remember the last time we had one this cold and rainy. We did have a nice day at Mcdermott’s run. A good turn out and good food. As most have heard Tom was inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame a few weeks back. Only a hand full of riders receive this honor, so if you stop at the shop congratulate Tom. He has tee shirts that he will autograph for a $5 donation and all proceeds go to the AMA Hall of Fame Museum.

As all of us know, any time we get on our bikes there is that risk of having a mishap. A few weeks back, on a run in Vermont, Dave Schies had an accident that left him in the hospital. He had a broken leg, five broken ribs and a broken bone in his shoulder. But thank God he is doing better then his bike!! Get well soon Dave.

Welcome everyone and we hope to meet you sometime at one of our monthly meetings!

HOSPITAL LIST

The year 2000 hasn’t been so good for quite a few of us. We wish the best of luck to Barb LaMarque who just has knee surgery.   The next time you see Tom McDermott, wish him well and tell him to go home and rest!!  And Dave Schies is recovering at Sunny View Hospital after an accident.  I can’t wait to see Debbie Granger on the back of her bike again.   Like the saying goes, “you can’t keep a good biker down!!”  If I forgot anyone’s misfortune, I’m sorry.  Hurry up and get well so you can ride!

Adirondack Poker Run

People in the club have expressed their opinion that maybe it would be a good idea for our yearly charity run to benefit another organization besides the Double HH Whole in the Ranch.  Some suggestions have come across the table and we need to discuss this in the near future.  There’s a lot of planning involved and if we want our annual run to continue to be a huge success, we need to start planning now.  At September’s meeting, if you have any suggestions on a needy organization you feel worthwhile, please voice your opinion.  We not only need names of organizations, but places to hold the event, prices, menus, etc.  The Double HH Whole in the Ranch is a great worthwhile cause, but there are many more out there who desperately need financial support.

The Next Monthly Meeting

September’s meeting will be held at the Meeting Place on Rt 9 in Lake George on September 17th. Breakfast at 9:30 AM, meeting at 10:30 AM and weather permitting, a ride afterwards.   Hope to see you there!!  The next board meeting will be held on Friday, September 15th at 7:00 PM at McDermott’s shop.
