Hello to all from your Chapter Directors: Well I assume that everyone knows by now that Mary and I have decided to step down as CD's effective

December 31 2009 because we feel that we cannot do anything to better the Chapter and move it forward. Everything was blamed on me and Billy

which we knew it would be, and because we aren't part of " the family, we need to move on. Apparently, our choice to ride a Harley doesn't meet with

the approval of Chapter R and I'm sorry its that way. As far as the dinner rides go, my being retired has nothing to do with most of you not riding.

If you will admit it, the choice to have dinner rides on Saturday, was made by you the Chapter, not by Billy or myself so don't throw the blame at us.

I would sincerely like to see Chapter R move forward and get better, but losing members is not the way to accomplish that but when we go there will be

six others going with us, we tried but it didn't work!!! Good luck to you all and Thank you for allowing us to be your CD's the past year and we sincerely

hope that we will be welcome to hold our final gathering in November and leave on good terms. Until November 22, ride safe .

Rick and Mary Bicknell
