MEPC – Donita made a change to the Chapter G ride challenge. Since some to the post offices are in locations where you can’t park and get a picture safely, or do not mention the city/town, you can take a picture of anything in the city/town with it’s name. So, the city/town sign, a high school, etc. However, if you are also completing the State ride challenge, you’ll still need the post office.
There are still ducks available to hand out to potential new members. Also, Donita has made a flyer that can be put up in businesses that have a bulletin board and allows. Please get with Donita for a flyer or ducks.
