River Valley Riders Chapter Meeting Updates from February 2025
First off, I want to thank everyone for coming out last night for the gathering. We had 22 members and 1 guest.
Donita reminded everyone of our upcoming event – this Saturday we have our soup and game night at Lookout Farms clubhouse. This starts at 6pm. We’ll have some food and then play games. If you don’t want to play games, there is seating to sit and talk to others not participating in the games. It’s always a fun evening.
Gary presented the awards for 2024:
Attended most events – Jack Redd
Highest Mileage – Jeff Hinkle / Normal Rider High Mileage – Steve Centner
Average Rider – Charlie Hobbs / S.W.A.G. – Janice Pack
A special award was given to Charlie and Rena Hobbs for their many years of being coordinators for the chapter. Thanks again for all you did and I know will continue to do for the chapter.
A special recognition award (Plaque and Ice Cream trophy) was given to Steve Centner for his 25+ years leading the Wednesday Night Ice Cream rides. Carol Redd also created and read one of her special poems dedicated to Steve and Paul, for the occasion.
At the OPS meeting the chapter directors were given handlebar hangers (door hangers) with our chapter information. These are to be used to help promote our organization. Please see Donita if you would like a few to pass around as are out and about.
Our Ride Coordinators presented the 2025 riding schedule – there are some great rides planned. These will be added to the website.They are also looking into a weekday ride to the Ale Eight Factory. Please let Steve and/or Lesley know if you would be interested in this ride.
Our Camping Coordinators announced one camping trip they have planned. However, you don’t have to camp to participate. It will be over the 4th of July weekend. July 3rd will be at KY Dam Village, with plans to attend Chapter Y’s meeting. Then move on the 4th to John James Audubon in Henderson KY. Plan is to attend K’s meeting on the 5th and then leave on the 6th to return home. Both places also have lodges for those that don’t camp.
Also Rick Cridlin mentioned that the State Ride Coordinator is planning a Leaf Peaking Ride in October. We believe this will be around the 17th or 18th. The ride will visit each Chapter area. You do not have to do the entire ride. You can participate in any part you want. More information will be coming.
Hope everyone has a great day
Mary & John Eicher, Chapter Directors
