Upcoming event – Y’all baseball game, July 18th. If you plan to attend, please have your money to Donita by our June gathering on the 10th. She would like to purchase the tickets and distribute them at our July 8th gathering.
Donita has created a chapter version of the bingo for our group – RVR KY-G. Entries are due before our end of year picnic on Sept. 20th. You will earn 1 ticket for each bingo line you complete.
The Blast will be Aug 14th – 16th at General Butler State Park. Registration forms will be coming any day now. Information can be found on the KY Road Rider site. Kentucky Road Riders – KY Road Riders. The State Team has been hard at work. They have told us that you will not have to spend a lot of money to play the casino games. There is only 1 game that you must pay to play, otherwise you will get poker chips. You can win tickets to either turn into more poker chips to play or keep for a chance at the prizes. But you have the option to purchase additional poker chips to play the games.
As a reminder we still need items for our Chapter Basket for the Blast. Any type of game of chance, motorcycle items, gift cards, etc. Please bring your item to the gathering in May, June or July.
*****We are in need of volunteers to lead the ice cream rides on Wednesday night. You’ll need to plan the route. Please let us know if you are willing to lead any ice cream ride this season. Even if you can do just one, that would be greatly appreciated.
