Steve informed members that Lobby Day was a success! While overall turnout was a bit down from last year, the number of first-time attendees was up. Thanks to all who attended! Steve shared the good news that the Vehicle Data Recorder Bill has a bill number now.

Steve encouraged members to attend the Wisconsin Motorcycle Training Summit on June 7th-9th at WCTC in Pewaukee. The website for additional information and to register is www.mosac.us.

Michelle reminded members that we are supporting Region 1G as they work to rebuild their base and re-energize their members. We invite and encourage Region 1G members to attend our meetings and events. We are looking for temporary locations to hold our meeting – preferably somewhere in Washington County but closer to Ozaukee County to encourage attendance. If you have ideas, please share them.

Julie put together a binder with product information including prices, sizes, and photos when possible. If you see an item you’d like, but we don’t have it in your size, Julie will reach out to other regions to try to find it for you.

Our 1G/1H Awareness rally is Saturday, May 4th starting in Grafton and ending in West Bend. We will meet at the Grafton US Bank parking lot on Hwy 60 and Port Washington Road from 9:30 to 11. We move to West Bend Buffalo Wild Wings parking lot on Paradise Drive to continue the rally between 11:30 and 1.

On Saturday, May 11th, we have again been invited to set up a stand to sell food at Al’s Hideout in West Bend as they host their car show. A planning meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, April 16th at 7 pm at Al’s Hideout.

Consider attending the 14th Annual “Bikers Helping Bikers” Poker Run, scheduled for May 18th. The ride starts at the Union Riders’ Clubhouse (3601 Mayfield Road, Jackson) with check-in between 10:30 and noon. Details to come.

We are considering creative themes for campsite decoration at this year’s Summer Hummer. If you have some great ideas, please be prepared to share them at upcoming meetings.

Our Summer Long Fun Run Party will be held at Sheryl’s Club 175 on Saturday, September 7th. Books will be available for $10 at the Chili Cook-Off on March 23rd. Plan to pick one up so you can start filling it with stamps!

Cherie has Advance Summer Hummer tickets ($35 per member) and tickets for the statewide Summer Cash Raffle to be held at the Summer Hummer on June 22nd. Raffle tickets are $20 each with only 500 printed. $5700 will be paid out across twenty prizes ranging from $1500 to $50. All money and ticket stubs must be turned in by the June meeting so they can be submitted on time.

It’s a good time to purchase tickets for the 50th Anniversary Raffle, drawing to be held at the Summer Hummer on June 22, 2024. Three prizes will be drawn, and all include a guest room for two nights, two tickets for the Saturday Night Banquet Meal, two 50th anniversary coins, and $50 to spend at the Anniversary Celebration, the second weekend of October in Madison. These tickets will be available through the June 2024 meeting.

Ride safely as the season begins~
