2012 LADIES OF HARLEY QUILT BENEFITING MOTOR COPS FOR KIDS CHRISTY MAY & JULIE STEGER Musings from the Director By Ken “Papa Duck” Kennerly

If you have not heard, please make note that the October Chapter Meeting will be held Saturday, October 6th, at 12 noon, under the pavilion at the Hella Shrine, 2121 Rowlett Rd, Garland, Texas. This will be in conjunction with our Chapter Garage Sale that will be held that day beginning at 8 am at the Shrine. Following , the Chapter will again, with the help of Steve Scott, be cooking up hot dogs with all the fixin’s for the membership to enjoy, along with the fellowship that comes when we all get together. So be sure to join us on that day for some fun and to say goodbye to all of your donations made to the garage sale. Please make note that there will not be a ride from the shop to the Chapter Meeting. It is a meet there event.

I want to thank everyone that came up to the shop on Saturday mornings to work on the Ladies of Harley Quilt. This was a nice activity for those who could not make the scheduled rides due to heat or other conflicts, and it looks like everyone had fun spending time quilting. Thanks to Sean and everyone at the shop for letting us use their chairs and the HOG room. It worked out better than any of us planned, and hopefully we can continue to use the shop for quilting since it really made things go smoothly for everyone. I am also happy to announce that quilting is finished and the quilt is in Julie Steger’s hands now for the final border to be added to make it complete. Once completed, the finished quilt will be displayed at the shop. The quilt will go to the winner of the raffle at the MotorCops for Kids Toy Run in November. Plenty of $1.00 raffle tickets are available from any officer.

It is again that time when we make our yearly appointments to the Chapter Board. This year, we will make appointments for the following, two-year term, positions: Director, Secretary, Ladies Of Harley Officer, Editor, Communications Officer, Safety Officer, Treasurer and three Road Captain positions. The terms for each of these positions run from February 1, 2013 to January 31, 2015. Some of those currently holding these positions may be rerunning for them, but that should not discourage you from seeking one that interests you. It is still important that you go through the process, so that you might be considered again in the future. So, if you are interested in serving in one of these positions, as a volunteer for one of the top HOG chapters around, please contact me either by e-mail or phone to discuss the qualifications required and to set up an interview before the Board at either our November or December Board Meeting.

Don’t forget to mark your calendar for Sunday, November 18th, and join us at our 11th Annual MotorCops For Kids Toy Run. We are always looking for volunteers to help so if you are interested, please contact me and I will get you on .

As always, I look forward to getting to visit with you at our next get together…

Till next time remember, It’s not the destination, it’s the journey! Papa Duck

Well , another month is gone, and I do not know where it went. As I am writing this article, the weather outside is so nice at 68 degrees. I am stuck in and wish I were out riding somewhere. But I gotta have a pay check.

We are getting into a busy time of the year, with some big events coming up and of course, the HOLIDAYS. MotorCops is right around the corner, and DHOG will need all the volunteers we can get for the big toy run. This is always an honor to be a part of and can get hectic, but it is so rewarding. Get your name on the volunteer list through THE DUCK/ KEN K. Also, buy a bunch of quilt tickets from any of your Board members/Road Captains. There are more tickets available this year, and the more WE buy, the better our chances of a member keeping the beautiful quilt in the family.

I am leading a ride to the annual Feral Hog Festival in Ben Wheeler on October 27th. I know it is the day of the Party, but I didn’t schedule the festival. It will be a neat half day of watching good folks walking around with plastic pig noses, a pretty neat parade, good food at Moore’s Store, and the chance to taste smoked wild hog, which all of the red necks in East Texas really know how to cook. We will be back in town by 1:00 to 1:30 PM and give you time to relax before the party that night.

I have to mention the annual ride that Steve Yeater is doing to Natchitoches, Louisiana, for the Christmas lights. It is an overnighter, and will be lots of fun, with amazing lighting displays. Get with Steve and sign up for this trip.

Be sure and check the DHOG website for any updates on events, in case the weather turns nasty, which can happen any time in the fall of the year.

Ride Safe

Until Next Month,

Mike “Smokey” Carter Steve “Paw Paw” Scott Activities Officer

October looks to be another great month of riding and being with your fellow DHOGS.

The LOH Progressive Lunch Ride, Saturday, October 13, is always a great event.

On Saturday, October 27, is the DHOG Happy Harleyween Party at Raven’s Nest.

I know our Officers, Road Captains and Lead A Ride folks have some great rides for us.

SAFETY is our number 1 goal on all rides and activities. Remember, just because the weather may have cooled a bit, you still need to carry some water with you and keep hydrated. If for any reason on a ride, you don’t feel well, you are having bike problems, or you see a safety concern, PLEASE let an Officer or Road Captain know.

Don’t just sit around and watch the dust collect. Get out of the house. Ride and have some fun with your fellow DHOGS.

I hope to see you all soon.

Thanks,

Paw Paw Email: [email protected]
