News Letter – There was a question of mailing the news letter to other HOG Chapters. It was decided to continue mailing to them in the hopes they will return their news letter to us. No one on the board is aware of any newsletters being returned to us. Walt will contact the printer to get a cost of printing now that the list of mailed copies has dropped to so few.

Raffle tickets will be printed and sold at $5.00 with the drawing to take place at this years Christmas party.

Cathy (Big Foots wife) has asked if anyone would offer her a ride to the chapter meeting. LOH Cathi has offered to contact her and offer to pick her up.
