JANUARY DIRECTOR’S REPORT

 

        CONGRATULATIONS Chapter A is celebrating 15 Years!!

Thanks to the former Chapter Directors who have so graciously volunteered their time and knowledge of GWRRA and to all its Members in making Chapter A, a strong and wonderful Chapter to be part of. 

            We had an awesome start to a new year with 46 Gold Wingers and Friends in attendance.  You don’t know what it meant to me to have so many of you turn out for my first meeting as your new Chapter Director.  Thanks to all of you for your love and support not only to me but most of all GWRRA and Chapter A.

            We welcomed our guest:

                         Bruce and Terri Stanley our Asst. District Directors

                         Bruce and Craig Noble

                         VA-F’s  George Tincher, John Aemmer, George and Agness Pierce.

            Welcoming to the Chapter:

                        Ruth Brown

                        George and Debbie Wible

 

            It was good to see Bob Robertson, we’ve missed you.

                         

            Don’t forget if you have anything that can be displayed on the Walls at Ryan’s regarding GWRRA (pictures, plaques, shirts of Rallies, etc…) please get them to one of the Staff Members.

I know I had stated that Ryan’s was going to allow us the back room, but we have now finalized that we will have the front room. This room has more light and will allow us to keep an eye on our rides.

            Don’t forget the GWRRA Website www.gwrra.org, the website has lots of information regarding GWRRA and you can also access WV’s Website and see what’s going on in WV just click on Region N and WV., Or just go to www.wvgwrra.org to access WV direct.
