Lewis County ABATE
Chapter Report
Hello Everyone,
Hope everyone's Spring is going good so far. Summer is closing in. We might even get some decent weather this month. We can always hope. Fair weather riders like me are looking forward to the warm weather and long daylight. There are plenty of rides and events happening. Keep an eye on our website's EVENT page to see what is happening.
May is Motorcycle Awareness Month. If you ride. Every month is Motorcycle Awareness Month. Spread the word to all your friends and family that drive a cage. Look both ways and look again. Put that cell phone down and wait until you get home to eat that burger and fries. That rider you don't see is somebody's husband, wife, son, daughter, brother, sister, father, or mother. We bikers also need to be responsible. The impression we make will influence how people perceive us and can influence our legislators when they are considering laws, we want passed that favor motorcyclists.
Scholarship season is upon us. We are coordinating with the eight High Schools that we donate to. We had some very generous donors this year. We can give out a $1,000 scholarship to each of the eight schools we donate to. Elk Country Chapter takes care of the three schools in the east end of the county.
Memorial Day is this month. It was originally called Decoration Day. It honors those service men and women that gave their lives for their country. Sometime this month. Take a moment to reflect on their sacrifice so we can enjoy the freedoms we have today.
Get out and enjoy the nice weather and longer daylight. There are still some roads and intersections that have sand and gravel left over from winter. Be careful and be aware of your environment. Always look out for the guy that is not looking out for you.
Keep the rubber on the road!
Paul
