Lewis County ABATE
It seems like this is never going to end. Hopefully, June will start to see things opening and some events are able to happen. Be sure to check out the Events page on our website. I'm trying to keep up to date on events and rides that are happening this summer. It was a big disappointment to see the Spring Opener canceled. I know we are still planning on our Kickback Camp Out in August. It is a lot of fun and a big fundraiser for our Scholarship Fund. We are awarding $750 scholarships this year. There have not been any live award ceremonies this year. Pe Ell High School is considering having one in August.
So far this year we have not had any chapter events or rides. We are hoping to have a chapter ride in June or July and we have chapter members planning rides this summer. Looking forward to getting out with a group. We have held a couple of informal ZOOM meetings. It is not the same as meeting in person. It is still good to see friends we have not seen in a while. Get out and enjoy the sunshine when you get a chance.
Spring is here and Summer is just around the corner. That means more daylight hours and more motorcycle-friendly weather. One of the things we talked about at our meetings was that we want to have more organized rides. We use our website and Facebook page to post updated information on our events and rides. You do not have to be an ABATE member to attend our rides. All riders and bikes are welcome.
Remember to check ahead before attending any events or rides. Be safe and sane out there and look out for those that aren't.
