March 2010 Newsletter for Region 7 Even though it is only March plans for Evergreen are well underway. We will need lots of help from our members if we want to make this year another success. Please sign up to help, whether it is security, setup, admission table, games, bike show, or cleanup we need help every day all day. Besides, it’s fun to meet and talk to all the people who support our event. When you receive your raffle ticket from the state for the bike raffle it is very important that you support this fundraiser. Our region also has tickets to sell. Remember, we are a politically active organization and can only do the job we need to do with our members support. Remember also, to register to vote and to vote in the August primary. From our Awareness ladies, Karen and Marlene, we have a big thank you to all who participated and helped with the State Seminar Hospitality for our Region. Thank you to Bonnie Firmingham, Betty Comment and Karen Sheridan for telling fortunes, Cindy Premire for making the pizza, Roger and Cheryl Woodruff for the music and incense that they donated and to Randy Luce and Ruth Kunka who helped sell it, to Shelby Roby and Ruth who sold raffle tickets for the donated quilt, and Shelby who sold “her cherries”. A big thank you to all you helped decorate, make food and to all who dressed up. Everyone did a great job and raised the most money ever for Awareness. We would also like to congratulate Butch and Danny Brown for 15 years of dedicated service to the Awareness Program, to Gary Lewis for his first year as an instructor and to the following members who received 1st year certificates for awareness supporters. They are: Tribesmen M/C, John Farver, Erin and Steve Jerore, Ruth Kunka, Randy Luce, Chuck Turner, Craig and Dolores Zajac and Tracey Zajac.

Newsletter for February 2010
Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone and I hope you were able to attend the Seminar in January. Since I am writing this newsletter before the seminar actually happens, I will have to tell you all about it in the March newsletter. We had our first Evergreen meeting on Jan. 3rd before our general meeting. Plans are underway and updates are in the minutes each month. Every month till the event everyone is invited to attend the planning meetings at 3:00 and volunteer to be on a committee. We can only pull off this major fundraiser with everyone’s help. Pat is forming committees not just for Evergreen but for the whole year and your input is greatly needed. If you do not know what to volunteer for or have any suggestions for committees or ideas, feel free to call Pat at 989-673-2984 or email him at hdfarm1@hotmail.com. You won’t know what is going on if you do not attend a meeting, read the newsletter, and check out the state website or our website. So keep informed and join in the fun. Volunteering IS fun and you get to meet a lot of really nice people. We need everyone to be a part of Region 7. You are all valuable and are greatly appreciated. At our meeting Cindy Priemer was presented with a plaque for all her hard work and dedication to our Region. You can always count on Cindy to be there when you need her. Whether it is with her time or donations Cindy is a true member with a big heart. We appreciate all she does and wanted to say thank you. A calendar of events was passed out and if you did not receive one I will have more copies at the next meeting. Also, it will be posted on our website and on the state website. Just a few reminders here, Triathlon on Feb. 13th at Shady Shores, Bull Riding Competition with Region 6 on Mar. 20th, the MRF Fun Night and Spaghetti Dinner at Farmer’s Tavern in Ruth and Our Birthday Bash on April 3rd. So mark your calendars and come join the fun. The Charity Committee consisting of Marv, Pat, Barb and Ruth dispersed money to help 7 families for Christmas, 2 cancer victims, 2 children who lost their mother and home to a fire, The Homeless Boys and Red Cloud Indians. This committee will meet when the need arises to decide how to use the money we have set aside for charities. So if you know of someone in need, let one of the members know about it and we still are looking for names of the troop packages. Birthdays for January are Brian Donaghy, Dave Donaghy, Bonnie Firmingham, Lisa Frank, Kevin Janrdeau, Gary Lewis, Tom Palmer (even though he said he was not having any more birthdays), Donna Pyrek, and Dale Gordon. So Happy Birthday to all including you, Tom! There are no anniversaries that I am aware of for January. Please let me know if I missed anyone. John McClelland won the 50/50 and donated $100 back to the family who lost their house to a fire in Tuscola County. Thank you John for your generosity. Also, John was named Member of the Year for Hog Town. Congratulations to you, we know you are a very dedicated member of Hog Town. They like us are lucky to have you as a member. Our Biker of the Month is Marv Howell. Marv is chairing our Charity Committee and all his work with Aaron’s Run we are proud to have you as a member. So that is about it for now. Hope to see you at the upcoming events and at our February 7th meeting at 3:00 at Charlie’s.
