ABATE of WI 3C Regional Rep Report – Shawano County

Hi Everyone!

Our Shawano Region 3C meeting was held at The Lumberyard in Bonduel on Saturday, March 2. We had 21 members in attendance! Thanks everyone for coming. Meeting started with the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a moment of silence for those in harm’s way.

Lynn reviewed our February 2023 Treasury report. All is good. We held a 50/50 raffle and a meat raffle after the meeting. Lynn has special mini chopper raffle tickets, and our region has the ABATE 50th Anniversary and Summer Raffle raffle tickets for sale. Buy a ticket for a chance to win and to support ABATE of Wisconsin 50th year celebration.

Pauline reviewed the Shawano County highway construction projects and mentioned the Shawano County Transportation meeting on April 23rd. Watch for a lot of work at the Hwy 117 /KT Intersection in Bonduel. Also, Hwy 29/Cty MMM will be upgraded to a J turn. Be alert. Ride aware.

“May is Motorcycle Month” activities are confirmed. We will be on the WTCH Breakfast Club on April 30 at 8 am and Langlade will have a radio spot on WACD 106.1, May 10 at 7:45 am. In addition, we will meet and hold a MC Safety awareness campaign and Shawano meeting at Lisa’s Longhorn Saloon in Shawano on May 4.

Another aspect of Officer’s Training was receiving some lawn signs. If you need one, please let me know. Also, Susie has some great ABATE of Wisconsin product available now. Contact her to get some.

50th Anniversary events and products are available. Watch for preorder forms in the newsletter. Summer Hummer posters, shirts, hoodies and posters are available! Looks like a great time. Great bands and nice-looking logo. Remember, Summer Hummer is the weekend after Father’s Day this year on June 20-23. If you want advance tickets, contact Robin.

Sue has stepped up to be our Summer Hummer campsite theme coordinator. This year: 60’s Hippie/Woodstock theme. Think about obtaining a tie-dyed shirt, flag, lights, posters and other decorations. We will be judged on the best site at Summer Hummer. Bonus points: Safe, ABATE newsletter in site, games. I’ll work with Sue and other recruits to combine a list of items we each need to obtain to add to the fun.

2024 B2B Tour: Books will be available at the April meeting for $10 donation. We have a few new businesses in our book this year: Tiger Creek Bar & Grill (Tigerton), The Breakaway Bar (Cloverleaf Lakes), White Lake Top Secret (White Lake) Back Road Bar (Bowler). Have fun and ride safely while on the 2024 Region 3C B2B tour!

Thank you to Diane, staff and customers at The Lumberyard for making our meat raffle very successful. Kudos to Charlie’s Country Market for providing the meat for today’s raffle. 8 bags were set up for our 8 rounds. Each bag had ample meat product for 3 winners each round. Nice quality and nice variety. Thank you!

Shawano County monthly meetings are on the 1st Saturday at 1 pm. Langlade and Outagamie meetings are on the 2nd Saturday at 1 pm. Our next Shawano meetings are April 6 at Wayne’s Place (Bonduel) and May 4 at Lisa’s Longhorn Saloon (Shawano) – Motorcycle Awareness Rally.

Be bold. Take the first step!
