February Newsletter 2009
Our first social night was held @ Golden Corral in Wilson on February 4th. We had approximately 16 members in attendance. When the weather warms up to ride we will pick a destination to meet and ride to get a bite to eat. Next social will be March 4th, 2009 between 6:30 & 7:00 @ Western Sizzlin, 101 N Bruton St, Wilson 27893. Where this has gone back to being social with no meeting please do not feel rushed into being there at 6:30.
Eastern District Swap Meet was Feb 21st and 22nd. The band was 69 Band from Raleigh. Charlie Boone from the Raleigh Chapter made chili for Friday night vendor party. Vendor attendance was down quite a bit from last year. We did get a few renewals and a new member for TRB. Our newest member is Danny Holland of Lucama.
Thanks to all that participated at the meet.
The TRB Gun Raffle is fast approaching so we need to start preparing now. If you have any old bike parts that you can donate to Stewart to help make our trophies this year please get up with Bob or Stewart.
We voted for the band for the Gun Raffle and it will be Still Standing.
We need door prizes so if you can get donations it would be greatly appreciated.
