2020 Club Meeting and Christmas Party
So on Saturday December 19, 2020 we’ll do our first club meeting since the whole COVID-19 pandemic started. We’ll meet all the Governor’s requirements for having a gathering as we’ll do it in the garage where it’s a large open space, etc. In the past we’ve had some issues with separating the meeting from the party so this year we will do something different.
The club meeting will be from 5:00-6:00pm, and the Christmas party will start at 6:30pm. That’ll allow us to have different agendas and make sure we get the club business attended to.
Black Friday 2020 Ride
So it’s an annual tradition to go on a ride somewhere on Black Friday. Given how 2020 has been so far I think we should at least keep up this one tradition! Social distancing in the woods…couldn’t get much better!
Going Away Gathering
So if you’re not busy on Saturday Sept 26th, come over to Clint’s Farm for a cookout, bonfire and going away party for Erik. He’s headed out to serve our country for a year or so and we’ll give him a good going away!
