JANUARY HOGTIVITIES


January 1st, the Annual New Year's Day Ride will leave Cycle Connection at 11 a.m. Join us to bring in the New Year on your Harley. Of course, this ride is weather permitting. The roads must be dry.


January 5th, Saturday, is the Ladies of Harley Meeting at Cycle Connection at 11 a.m. Bring your sweet tooth cause Leila is cookin' up something.


January 8th, Tuesday, is an Officer Meeting at Cycle Connection at 7 p.m. The meeting will end abruptly for Boston Legal!


January 12th, Saturday, is the Annual Chili Cook-Off at Cycle Connection. Bring your crock pot of chili and fixin's (crackers, frito's, cheese, onions, etc.) to the H.O.G. family room between 10-10:30 a.m. Bowls and spoons provided. Judging will take place at 11:30 a.m. Then we will devour the chili.


January 15th, Tuesday, is our January Joplin H.O.G. Meeting at Cycle Connection at 7 p.m. with a potluck dinner. Bring anything you like and come a little early to set up food.


January 20th, Sunday, is Breakfast at Ryan's at 9 a.m. Join us for a buffet breakfast and lots of conversation.


January 25th, Friday, is the Community Center of the Ozarks Blood Drive at Cycle Connection from 2-7 p.m. in the H.O.G. Family Room. Last July we had 60 people give blood. We hope to break that record.


January 26th, Saturday, is a cook out at Cycle Connection.

MEETING CHANGES


Starting in January, our Joplin H.O.G. Meetings will be the 3rd Tuesday at 7 p.m. and the 3rd Saturday at 10 a.m. alternating months.


The reason for this is that the H.O.G. Family Room is needed for more Rider's Edge classes and we definitely want more people riding and joining our group.


Following the Saturday 10 a.m. meetings, we plan on dinner rides for those who want to ride.

CHRISTMAS PARTY FUN


Our Christmas Party/Meeting this year was catered by Bill Boyd (member) and Leslie Devore with the help of Nancy Hutson. Thanks to all who participated in the entertainment. We had a few that didn't show up due to weather or power outage but we had members show up from Lamar, Seneca, Oklahoma, Pierce City, etc., and the room full with fun and laughter throughout the night.


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!! And I hope you received what you asked for at the party.
