Vice Presidents Report
I hope everyone had a great holiday season and all your dreams will come true in the New Year. I, also hope you are all ready for a great 2008 for Freedom Riders.
I would like to thank Patti Hahn for speaking at our meeting. Patti Hahn is a democrat running for State Representative of the 107th district. If you didn’t know Patti is the candidate endorsed by ABATE of Illinois, Inc.
I explained about our monthly drawing that we are starting in last month’s newsletter. If any of you want to be in the monthly drawing please contact me at 204-9284 by January 21st so I can get the tickets ordered. If you have any questions please feel free to call also. We will start the drawing in March so I will have the tickets available at the February meeting and I will let you know all the places where you can pick up your ticket in the next newsletter.
We have most of Freedom Riders activities schedule set up and I can’t wait to get everything kicked off. We are going to get back to the basics of what A.B.A.T.E. is all about. We have to take care of business.
I hope to see everyone at the broomstick pool tourney. (Check out the flyer in this newsletter)If you haven’t ever been in a broomstick tournament you need to try it out. It has nothing to do with your pool skills.
I know everyone is out riding and enjoying the un-seasonally warm weather we are having. I hope everyone is extra safe when riding.
Take care,
MiMi Hawkins
