It's that Time Again
As Dale said at our last chapter gathering it's time to nominate our next Couple of the Year. Take a few minutes to think back on this year and see who was at the rides, or helping with fundraisers, or just having a good time. See, that is what the Couple of the Year is all about. Just participating and having fun. Nothing is required of the new couple, just continue having fun. This is an opportunity for the chapter to recognize someone who has been out there representing Chapter J and for the couple it is an honor bestowed by the chapter for being themselves. This past year has been exciting for Don and me. We have tried to get Chapter J out in the district. While we did that, we put about 6000 miles on our bike. That's not a lot for some people, but I am impressed. We have gone to 2 state rallies, the region rally, a camp out in Canada, and of course Wing Ding. We have paid a visit to 6 or 8 other chapters, and we have captured the traveling plaques more than once. All this was done with the company of other chapter members (a.k.a. family). When we weren't at something, we knew we were missed because someone would always ask us why we didn't make it. Without this family all these travels would not have been as much fun. Maybe that is why GWRRA includes it in their motto. Being honored by our chapter is why we have done all this. We feel that we are the ambassadors for Chapter J no matter where we go. This is why we tried to be seen in our best chapter dress. Even when the weather was hot or wet, we tried to be sure everyone knew our chapter cared about us and named us their representatives. We couldn't be prouder of our vests that have Chapter J Couple of the Year 2008 embroidered on the back. We will continue wearing them even after our year is over as a reminder to us how much you cared. Lots of events stick our in our memories. The best
