FROM OUR CHAPTER DIRE= CTORS:

The Final Chapter,

Hi Folks, what a beautiful week= end we have had as I write this Article. I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving Holiday and had a chance to visit with family and friends. The nice weather allowed us to put on a very nice showing at the Reynoldsville Christmas Parade. We had 9 Bikes in the Parade followed by the Float. A BIG THANKS needs to go out to George and Kathie for all the hard work they put = into the float once again this year. What a beautiful display of lights and the Christmas Spirit. A total of 36 members showed up to be a part of the parad= e. Then we all went to Fatmans for dinner and some good ole Chapter I fun and laugh= ter.

I would like to pass along the results of the District Raffle for the past year. The chapter sold over 325 Tickets (not s= ure of the exact number) and received back an amount of $412.50 for our charity, “The Arc of Jefferson County”.

You still have time to get your reservations in for the Christmas Party. See the Flyer in this Newsletter f= or details. I need all reservations in by December 7th. Don’t miss it.=

Well, as the head line reads, this is our Final newslet= ter as your Directors. We would like to send a very heartfelt thank you to each= and every member. I have answered many of the same questions from people outside the chapter. How hard is it to direct that many people and keep them all ha= ppy? And my answer is always the same; it is very easy with a group like this. Y= es, we have had our moments and have learned from them. I know many areas= that I could have been better at, but hopefully we have given you a few moments = to remember and to talk about for years to come. I feel one of my bigger responsibilities as your Director was to find someone that would continue to lead this Chapter into the future. Lois and I feel very much at ease that M= el and Jodi Lufsey are that couple. They are prepared and well equipped to be = your next directors and we are very proud to have them as our friends. So, if you were to ask me what I thought of as a very big moment in the past 3 years, = you might think I would say it was when Cindy Marconi was named as the District Someone special for 2009. Or maybe one of the many Big Trips that were= put together or all the weekend adventures we had. Or the many achievements as a Chapter we had at the 2010 District Rally.

All good examples I could use as a proud moment, but you would= say no, that’s not the big one. It was the Announcement that the Chapter = was selected as the 2010 District Chapter of the Year. That would have been ple= nty big enough, but then the Announcement came that the Chapter was selected as= the Northeast Region Chapter of the Year and would represent Region B at Wing D= ing in Knoxville, Tenn. Wow, what great accomplishments,= but you would still be wrong. Because if you were to ask me of a moment that re= ally sticks out and told us we might have done a decent job, it would be from February of 2011. That was an evening that Lois and I were on our way to the Chapters Valentine Dinner. We were running a bit late, and in fact, would be the last to enter the dining room at the Clarion Hotel in Dubois. As we ent= ered the doors from outside and walked into the hallway, all we could hear was l= aughter and joy coming from the dining room. Lois and I both looked at each other a= nd at the same time said “Well, we must be doing something right.” That was a moment, among all other great moments, in the past 3 years that seems to keep popping back up in my mind. So, Lois and I leave you with a s= imple message, Laugh and have Fun; that is what this Chapter has been built around for years and that is when you are at your best. We have been proud and hon= ored to serve as your Directors, but we are even more proud and honored to have = you as a friend. See you at the Next Chapter Function.

Sincerely, Tom & Lois Conner

Attend and Win,

I need to let every= one know of the mistake I made in our last Newsletter. I had said that no one h= ad won the month before.

Dave Marconi let me know that his name was drawn and he had wo= n. Thank you, Dave. With that said, there was another $20 up for g= rabs at our November Gathering. The name was drawn, a familiar name that has bee= n at many gatherings lately, Haley Skinner.

Unfortunately for Haley, this was not a gathering he attended.= We missed you Haley. The Next Drawing will be at our February 2012 gathering.<= /span>=

Come and join us for your chance at $40.00.=

From Your ACD’s

&= nbsp; I write this article on the eve of Thanksgiving because I fear I will not have any other time this weekend. With a meal tomorrow and football games on TV,= I am sure a long nap will be in my future.&n= bsp; I am sure I won’t shop on Friday, but there are still things t= o do to prepare for winter.

&= nbsp; I am excited about the Christmas Parade, but with having to get up early Sund= ay for work, I will have to let someone else write about it in his or her article. I just know at this = point the weather is supposed to be wonderful, and I am hoping to see a good attendance for the event. Thank you, George and Kathie, for everything you = do to make this all happen.

&= nbsp; This is my last article as your ACD; my next will be as your Chapter Director. This is also the last newsletter f= or Mary Lou Hetrick as our Newsletter Coordinator. Mary Lou has served us well= but has asked to step down and Deb Smith will be replacing her. Dick and Mary Lou Hetrick will sti= ll be doing our Membership Enhancement and we have reserved her column under Chap= ter Chatter, anytime she wants to write an article. Thank you so much for your years of service.

&= nbsp; It is important for me to direct this to Tom and Lois as their term as Chapter Directors comes to an end. It= has been great working with you and I appreciate the time we have spent together. It has been an interesting ride both thru good times and times that decisions had to be ma= de. Decisions such as moving the gathering place from Fatman’s to Plyler’s and back to Fatman’s.= Then, when Fatman’s closed, you led us to Eat N’ Park wi= th a change in meeting time. I know those were difficult times for you, but then came the good times. It was y= our vision that led this chapter to become Chapter of the Year in the District = and Region.

&= nbsp; I am actually hoping my time will be just a little less stressful, but then it wouldn’t be as much fun. I am so grateful for those of you that have agreed to serve as staff and I appreciate everyone’s support. Enjoy the upcoming Holiday Season and I hope to see you at the Chris= tmas and Anniversary parties.

PA-I RAMBLINGS

By Peg Zortman

Bill & I have recently attended a couple of PA-I e= vents where you all welcomed these ‘old dogs’ to the ‘new pack’. We thank you.

Now our first experience was called the ‘Harvest Feast’ and was advertised as a gathering of those who ride to come up with a ride list for the next riding season. Our ride coordinator, Dana Hartle,= had reached out to chapter participants to join him at the Simcox Party Barn an= d to bring along a covered dish (with something in it) and an idea for a ride.

Attendance was very good. We all got the message… ‘covered dish with something in it’ and the Feast part of the evening was a huge success.

Kathy had it announced where the ‘new’ peo= ple could find the powder room; and we wondered where the ‘old’ peo= ple should go.

Then Dana and his trusty laptop took center stage and = the main reason for the gathering began. Yes, we came armed with ideas for rides… a return of the dessert/ice cream = rides is to be continued… perhaps a breakfast instead of a lunch monthly gathering in the summer months… the possibility of a BIG TRIP to Mich= igan was discussed… Nashville= and the Grand Ole Opry were on the list, as was the Dan Stitt Memorial Ride. Visiting other chapter’s events was high on the list as were the MS 150 charity ride= and the PA Dist. Rally in Gettysbu= rg. New York was discussed. Rock City near Olean, and Cuba, NY’s cheese plant and what about Letchworth. And I’ll bet additional ideas are still welcome.

Yep, the session gave our ride coordinator a lot of ideas. Dana says even those w= ho didn’t say anything spoke volumes with body language… only Dana= in person can explain that. Now = Dana and Danise will work at sorting all this out and putting it in understandab= le format and handing it out to us in the form of the 2012 Ride Schedule. Good luck, Dana and Danise!

Before we were allowed to disperse Sheila Reams inform= ed the group that there were several ‘new’ people in attendance… people who had never experienced a special ritual. Before we knew what was happening = Bill & I along with a good size group of other innocents were lined up and piloted by Sheila through the steps to the amazing climax of the PA-I Toody= -Ta.

Yes, Old Dogs can be taught new tricks.

Our second experience was the regular gathering of the= PA-I participants at Eat-‘n-Park in DuBois. Now it’s not that Bill &= I haven’t been to a gathering before; but this would be the last one the Conners would chair as our Chapter Directors. Our Christmas party will serve as = our December gathering then December 31, 2011 Tom and Lois will return to the s= imple; but important job of ‘Chapter Participant’.

Thanks Tom and Lois for 6 years of leading this ‘= ;herd of cats’ group first as Assistants and then as Chapter Directors.

OUR PA-I CHAPTER NEWSLETTER

By Peg Zortman

HERE'S HOW THE NEWSLETTER CURRENTLY WORKS:

1)= People send information to Mary Lou Hetrick.

2)= Mary Lou puts it all together and sends a copy to Peg Zortman and to= all those with an email address. (Around the end of each month)

3)= Peg adds the District newsletter (condensed version) which is provid= ed by Pat Cole (Pat has been kind enough to send Peg a copy each month a= nd Tom also forwards it.)

4)= Peg can add copies of various event fliers such as Wing Ding, the District Convention and special events that PA-I is having or planning to attend if they aren’t already part of the newsletter.

5)= Bill Zortman prints a hard copy of the newsletter – Zortmans a= lso add an address cover and print address labels for the snail mail recipients= .

6)= Dave and Susan Moore get the hard copies. collate the newsletter and= get it to the Post Office.

Note on contact info:

Peg and Mary Lou currentl= y get information for additions to or deletions from our email and snail mail lis= ts from our Chapter Director, Tom Conner.&nbs= p;

Beginning January 1, 2012= Mel Lufsey will become our Chapter Director and Deb Smith will be putting the newsletter together and sending the email version. Zortmans will still print the snai= l mail version and Moores= will continue to send it out. I mention this so that if your contact info should change, be sure to let Mel know. He will see that it get= s to the right place.

COSTS OF THE HARD COPY NEWSLETTER:

&nb= sp; PA-I has always PAID THE POSTAGE for the newsletter however, we have always had = it PRINTED FREE OF CHARGE.=

&nb= sp; When PA-I was started in 1986 Zortmans’ place of employment permitted them= to make the copies free of charge.

&nb= sp; When Bob & Joanna Crawford became the leaders Joanna’s place of employ= ment permitted her to make the copies free of charge.

&nb= sp; When Bob & Kim Rudolph were our leaders the information went to Zortmans who= had started a print shop which they ran from their home. Laser Printing Company printed the newsletter free of charge in exchange for advertising.

&nb= sp; When Laser Printing Company closed about 4 years ago, Zortmans continued to print the newsletter at no charge to the chapter.

&nb= sp; As I recall Dick and Mary Lou Hetrick also printed the newsletter free of char= ge for a time.

THINGS TO REMEMBER:

1. A chapter newsletter is NECESSARY to getting and retaining your Chapter Chart= er and should be a monthly communication to the members.

2. The newsletter format is of our own choosing but must contain the Chapter name,= or initials (PA-I) and the GWRRA national logo. The Region, (B), District, (PA) and Chapter letter, (I) designation should be visible along with the month and year.

3. According to the Officers Hand Book, “…the central purpose of the existen= ce is to be a communications medium for and to the Members.”<= /span>

4. Your chapter newsletter is your lifeline to what is going on in the chapter, district, region and all of GWRRA.

5. Every participant in the chapter may, and is encouraged, to write articles for the newsletter.

6. All members who participate with PA-I should receive a copy of the PA-I newsletter. This can be via e= mail or snail mail.

7. A copy of the PA-I newsletter is sent to our National Office in Phoenix, to o= ur Region B Director, to our District Director and Assistant and to each Chapt= er Director within our District.

Mel Lufsey and his team are in the process of giving our newsletter a much needed upgrade. You will see a new format after the first of the year; but the PA-I newsletter will remain “…a communication for and to our members.”

…A friend is like a pocket---yo= u can never have too many of them…

Hi Chapter I, November has come and gone! Some snow, some nice weather for a short ride !! We had fun at the Fall Harvest Dinner on November 5, 2012 at the Simcox Party Barn. Thanks Kathy and George for everything you do…we do appreciate you so much ! We had a large turnout of both foo= d and members and guests. We visite= d with each other, then we ate and ate some more ! Danise thought she would have h= er “dessert” first ! Go figure…..

We had so many good things to eat from lasagna to scal= loped potatoes to caramel apple dessert, shrimp, various appetizers and motorcycle cookies. And much, much more… T= hen the fun began with the Toody-Ta dancers !&= nbsp; And dance they did !!

<= !--[if gte vml 1]>

Thank you Sheila and Ray for getting all the new (and a couple of ‘long time’ members) up to date with the Toody-Ta, Toody-Ta, Toody-Ta-Ta dance… After we all had a “good hearty laugh”, we had a Ride Meeting with Dana as “Ride Captain”. We went over several things from this year’s ride schedule (some good and some…not so much) and handed in some potential ride destinations for 2012. I, for one, cannot wait= for the new ride schedule to come out next year !!!! I know it will be filled with fun = rides and trips for all !

The Gathering on November 19, 2012, was Tom and Lois Connor’s l= ast official Gathering as Chapter Directors.&n= bsp; They are looking forward to continuing in the Chapter as just one of= us now. Thank you Tom and Lois f= or being good leaders for our Chapter !

<= !--[if gte vml 1]>

The Christmas Parade was a huge success. There were 37 people in attendance= for the Chapter and 9 bikes were there too ! A= fter the Parade, all of us went to Fatman’s for a fantastic dinner ! As I looked around the room, I saw all the fun, friendship and compassion for each other in the Chapter.&= nbsp; What a great group to be a part of !!!!

Keep Smiling….I always have my camera and if I don’t, someone else d= oes !!!!!

See you at the Christmas Party….

Merry Christmas!

From our Chapter Coup= le of the Year-----

Hi everyone! Hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Our Thanksgiving was great; we had all our kids home and a new grandson that is four months old now. They all came to see the Reynoldsville Christmas Parad= e. Ray and I rode our bike and joined 8 other bikes in the parade with our show-stopping (lights & music) float following us. Thanks, George and Kathie, for another outstanding job! The weather perfect and it was a beaut= iful evening. After the parade, we all ate at Fatman’s (including our fami= ly) and had a great time! Cindy Marconi brought homemade iced sugar cookies that she and her granddaughter made, while Dave Marconi was giving out coffee and hot cocoa with whipped cream; thanks, Dave and Cindy! Kathie Simcox was busy making sure that handing out colored necklaces lighted us all up. Ray decid= ed to go to K-Mart that afternoon to purchase some blue LED lights to decorate= the back of the bike and up around the antennas. During the parade, everyone was wearing a Santa or elf hat. Clyde B. and Dave M. even had elf hats that wig= gled around! It was too funny! Our son took this photo of us in the parade. He i= s a photographer for the Air Force. The next event will be the Christmas Party = and I can’t wait! Hope to see you there!

Take Care! = RAY and DOREEN SNYDER
