Ozark Mountain Chapter Of Lebanon #2575 March/April 2009 Newsletter The Director's Minute Happy Spring to Ya’ll, If this week’s weather is any indication then Spring is finally here, YEA!!!!!!!! We had our first chapter ride after our gathering. Ron led us up to Ha Ha Tonka for what has become a ritual for us as the first ride of the year. Not a lot of riders, but 10 bikes made the short journey. Thanks to Ron and all the riders. With the coming of Spring means just one thing (besides baseball), more riding time! This also means we are gearing up for the Annual Spring into Riding Run. Mark has the bike checks set up and a great little ride to Crazy Jacks in Waynesville for lunch and brotherhood. Check the website and later in the newsletter for details. Another Spring activity is our Spring Poker Run. This year it is on April 25th with a rain date of the 26th.
