The Director's Minute
Greetings Friends,
Welcome to all the new members, if you have any questions about our chapter and what we do and when we do it, just contact any of the officers and we will be more than glad to help.
The year really is waning. The available riding days has been less than in most years with all rain and the cold spell we had. I hope all of you are taking advantage of the few days of nice weather and getting some riding in.
Thanks goes out to all those who volunteered and rode in the Fall Poker Run. Guy did a bang up job putting all that together and I thank him.
The Road Kill Picnic was another success this year. Thanks to all that volunteered to get that set up and to all that cooked or brought food. I did not go away hungry. Thanks to Tammie for chairing it. We also had a great turn out for the annual Chapter Photo and with a new twist. We used the new dealership sign and had some decorations and hay bales set up by Jenna and Uncle Neal. Thanks to them. Pictures can be ordered through Karen Price in 5x7 or 8x10.
A couple of events and rides I want to remind you of. Our 2nd Annual Chili Cook-Off is on Nov 7th, beginning at 6pm. Pictures with Santa is on 5 Dec from 11am to 2pm and the Christmas Party on 12 Dec. Look for more information on the Christmas Party from Bill. As always you can check the calendar in the newsletter and the website www.ozarkharley-davidson.com.
2010 Officer elections will be held at our November Gathering.
Lastly, your thoughts, ideas and concerns are very important to us. 2009 surveys went out in the last newsletter and can be available at the November gathering. Please take the time to tell us what you liked and disliked so that we can continue to provide a top notch experience for our chapter members and provide the service of Riding and Having Fun.
Our next gathering is November 15th at the pavilion behind Ozark Harley-Davidson at 11am. We will hold our 2010 Officer elections and tally the Chapter Challenge.


May The Force Be With You,
Yoda
