Director’s Corner &n= bsp; &n= bsp; by Chuck & Evelyn Stone

<= /p>

Hi everyone:

As I set here watching the Steelers and Ravens game and attempting to compose this article I suddenly realized that the riding seas= on has come to an end. Thinking = back this has not been one of our better riding seasons with all the rain we had. I’m sure we’= ll have a few more days of good riding weather before we have to put the bike/trike away for a well deserved rest.

We had a very successful Dice Run and I would like to = take this opportunity to thank all the Chapters who supported Chapter “W” in this event. We will be starting to plan our second annual Dice Run after the holidays.

Chapter “W” with 12 members participating = got its first point for the 2012 Roll for the Dough program this past Saturday visiting Chapter “S”.

On November 19^thChapter “W” wi= ll travel to the Road Kill Café for breakfast leaving the Masonic Templ= e at 9:00 a.m.

On December 17^th Chapter “W” wi= ll have a Covered Dish Christmas Party which will be held at the Everett Fire = Hall starting at 6:00 p.m. More information on this event to follow.

We appreciate everyone’s help and cooperat= ion in making our Chapter successful.

Evelyn and I would li= ke to wish everyone a Safe, Happy and Joyous Holiday season.

JUST A REMINDER: CHAPTER “W&= #8221; HAS NO GATHERING IN DECEMBER.

“Ride= Safe & Ride Proud”.

H= i to all Chapter W,

<= br> Wow, it’s November and the last ride is to Rode Kill on the 19th. I j= ust can't believe how fast the time has flown this year. For Christie and I, we rode a lot more this year than we ever have! I am hoping for even more this coming year!

<= o:p>

I= want to thank all who were involved with the dice run for a job well done!! "T= he Road Captains"… I heard from the riders they liked the route you= had laid out and the length; "good Job". I also want to give Gary an = {atta boy} for all the help he gave to the rider that the bike slid out from under and I can't forget "Bill and Peggy" too for making sure that bike and rider got home safe. Yes! We all had our hands in this. "We all made this a good Dice run" and WE ALL made this Year A GREAT YEAR FOR CHAPTER W.

Mable and I have enjoyed the riding season.   It has been a year to rememb= er being MED & COY representatives for you. I guess all good things must come = to an end and that is the way with putting the trike away for the winter. Before we do that, I have to take = it to my detailer to fix a couple fenders that Mable has redesigned! She has assured me the vests will = be totally ready to go by SPRING.   We often feel a little tried, trying to keep up with the “youngsters” in our group, but we sure had a good time.

Roll for the dough has been a great opportunity for= me and Mable to break bread with folks that have similar interests; eating &am= p; ice cream.   Roll for the= dough has also brought some new ideas for our club’s continued growth.=

Hope to see everyone and maybe a few visitors at the Christmas Party.

               Be safe, Gary SHAPE \* MERGEFORMAT &   Mable @ mablew@pennswoods.net

Those who continue to ride through the winter will still benefit from some of these tips to keep your = ride in top shape. It is never too= late to prepare your bike for that long winter’s nap.

Below is a check list for bas= ic winter storage that will help make sure your ride survives until spring

ü Stabilize the fuel. Mod= ern unleaded fuel only has a shelf life of 3-4 weeks before it begins to deteriorate. Add the recommen= ded amount of fuel stabilizer to a full tank of fuel, then run the engine for at least 15 minutes to work the stabilized fuel throughout the engine. This will prevent the remaining fu= el residue from oxidizing and turning to varnish. Be sure to purchase a reliable bra= nd of fuel stabilizer.

ü Change your oil. Now that your bike is warmed up af= ter running the stabilizer through the engine, change your oil. Residual fuel and contaminants in = the oil can oxidize during prolonged storage or inactivity.   Changing your oil now remove= s all the sludge and dirt that would otherwise start to deteriorate. Run the engine a few minutes to di= sburse the oil through the engine.

ü Prepare the Battery. Lead-acid batteries sh= ould be kept under a constant charge in order to prolong their life. Attach a Battery Tender or special= ized charger that won’t overcharge your battery. A trickle charger may be used but = the battery should be kept charged regardless

ü Clean and Lubricate. Dirt, sand, and road s= alts will begin to corrode and damage metal surfaces if left during storage. Give your bike a good cleaning bef= ore putting it to sleep for the winter. Lubricate all moving parts such as cables and use a metal protectant spray on the underside of the frame and drivetrain.

ü Check your Tires. Make sure your tires a= re properly inflated. If you hav= e a compressor then deflate your tires first to expel any moisture, then inflate with clean compressed air. You should repeat this step before riding again in the spring.

ü Cover your Bike. Even when stored inside, your bike should be covered while stored. Use a cover that can breathe and not a plastic tarp. Moisture should not be allowed to = become trapped under the cover on your bike’s metal surfaces. If your storage is in a barn or si= milar place, cover the exhausts to prevent any unwanted creatures from making a winter den. Place plastic bag= s over the intake to keep moisture out.

That’s basically all th= ere is to storing your bike. Ther= e are a hundred more suggestions out there, but for the most part these steps wil= l ensure your investment gets a safe winter’s rest. Once stored, resist the temptation= of periodically starting the engine, or at least until you are ready to drain = the stabilized fuel and start riding again.&nb= sp; Use this storage time to work on those maintenance projects you have been putting off, like changing the fork oil.

Practice Safe Riding.

It’s really hard to believe that it’s Nove= mber already. Before you know it we will be celebrating Thanksgiving with our fa= milies. Since I’m working out of town I’m a little behind on getting re= ady for the holidays. Usually by now I’ve started hanging the more than 10,000 Christmas lights on the outside of our house. I may have to cut back this year if I don’t get started soon. The 8,000 or more lights on th= e inside of the house will wait till after Thanksgiving Day.

I’m not really looking forward to the cold weath= er that is in store for all of us in

Pennsylvania, especially since we already had over 10" of SNOW at the end of October. Hope that is not a sign of what’s to come this winter! It’s bee= n a few years since I was able to say that I rode all year, even during the win= ter. Once the snow starts and the roads are covered with cinders and salt that p= uts an end to my riding.

It is with great pleasure = we would like to announce that next year‘s convention will be held at the Eisenhower Hotel & Convention Center in Gettysburg, Pa. Our theme for t= he 2012 convention will be “A Year of Holidays”. The dates will be= September 6, 7, and 8th. We have been able to secure rooms for the membership for= $94 + tax a night. Please be sure to make your reservations as soon as possible= at 1-(717)-334-8121. Be sure to tell them you are with the Gold Wing Road Ride= rs Association. There is also an on-line service with the hotel to make your reservations. Please use this web site address to make on-line reservations= : http://75.14= 6.237.41/V1WebControls/GroupComments.aspx As soon as the flyer is compl= eted we will send this out to all of the Chapters and post it on the District web site.

Since it is still early, plans for next year are still= being worked on. Do you have any suggestions for events during the convention? E-= mail us and let us know.

Chapter V has volunteered to be the Convention Host for 2012. We look forward to working with th= em as the 2012 Host Chapter.

We have a Chapter that has volunteered to organize the games for the 2012 convention.

Chapter I has stepped up to creat= e the fun games for all of you to enjoy on Friday morning.

= We are in need of a chapter= to step up and organize “All Chapters West” for 2012. It‘s n= ot too early to start planning. Chapt= er R has stepped up and has agreed to organize “All Chapter East” fo= r 2012. We are already looking forward to it. All Chapters East will be held on Jun= e 22 – 24 at the Sheshequin Campground in Trout Run, Pa. Once flyers are available we will distribute them to all of the Chapter Directors and post = it on the District web site.

&= nbsp; As most of you are aware, Dana and Da= nise Hartle, NW ADD’s, term of three years has ended. They served a ye= ar with Chuck and Evelyn Stone, and two years with us. Dana and Danise were an invaluable member of our team and an asset to the Pennsylvania District. We= are proud to have had them as members of our team and to consider them our frie= nds always.

&= nbsp; Rick and Andi Reik will be taking= their place. They have already begu= n to visit the chapters. We look f= orward to working with them.

&= nbsp; Affective October 21, 2011 John Steele h= as resigned as the Pennsylvania District Educator. He has personal reasons that need his attention. John has done a fantastic job as our District Educator these past two years. We would like = to wish him well.

&= nbsp; Our search has started to find someone to take on the important role as our District Educator. If you are interested or know of a good candidate for th= is position please let us know.

&= nbsp; New Chapter Team members coming on board the next Officer Certification Program training dates are November 12th & 13th, 2011. There is still time to a= ttend the training but you need to contact our District Trainers soon. If you are= unable to make this date our District Trainers will be putting a class on sometime= in the beginning of next year. Keep watching for announcements for this class.=

We have started plans for the District Team meeting as of this date. For the Chapter Team that is staying on for 2012 and the new members coming on boar= d, please keep in mind that we will be having the District Meeting in March. We are looking at March 17th as t= he date; please keep this date open so you will be able to attend. This is plenty of time for all offi= cers to make plans to be at the District Meeting. Information on the location wi= ll be coming soon. Those plans a= re still in the works. Hope we can get this one in without the snow storm of the yea= r!

= Since it has been a busy su= mmer, we wanted to remind you that working on the paperwork for the Chapter of the Year Program throughout the summer would make it a lot easier to complete t= he paperwork once it is due. We will be sure to let you know what the due date= is, in one of our District Newsletter articles or by e-mail. =

It would be great to have = a few more Chapters complete the Chapter of the Year paperwork. Pennsylvania was outstanding by having a District Chapter of the Year, Chapter PA – I, then they became the Region Chapter of the Year. PA-I represented all eleven states in the Region for 2010. What better way to finish 2011 then to compl= ete the Chapter of the Year paperwork and become the Pennsylvania District Chap= ter of the Year with the chance to represent the Region.

http://med.gwrra.org/guides/choy/2011ChapteroftheYear(June%202011).pdf= is the web address that will take you to the GWRRA web site that contains a= ll of the information for the Chapter of the Year Program.

What a wonderful year for the "Roll for the Dough= " program. In the inaugural year we had 12 chapters participate with a total = of 95 visit points and two chapters that qualified for their charter refund.

With the "Roll for the Dough" program ending= on October 31st, 2011 we found that we had 13 chapters participating, amassing a total= of 155 visit points with 5 chapters qualifying for refunds of their annual cha= rter fees. This equals a 63% increase in visits! GREAT YEAR!

The standings are as follows:

1. #9; Chapter R with 30 points.

2. #9; Chapter C with 23 points.

3. #9; Chapter Q with 22 points.

4. #9; A tie! Chapter V and Chapter W with 20 points each.

&= nbsp; We wish to congratulate all chapters that participated; we hope this program catches on to more of the chapters next year. It is a great way to get out = and meet other people, make new friends and get new ideas for events or happeni= ngs within your chapter. The program has already started for 2012. As of Novemb= er 1,

2011 the guidelines for the "Roll for the Dough" will remain the same.= Let the visitations begin!

&= nbsp; Clair & Ruth Matter have done a great job as our Chapter Visitation Coordinat= ors with keeping the District Web Site updated with the chapter points. We would like to thank them for a great job.

A few years back, we were honored to be chosen to be t= he Chapter Couple for Chapter H. When we asked what the responsibilities were,= we were told, all we had to do was sell 50/50 tickets. Believe it or not, sell= ing the tickets was a good thing, because we were able to talk to everyone, lea= rn more about the members in our home chapter and more about this organization= . As the year went on, we discovered the Couple of the Year was much more than b= eing the ticket sellers! It was an honor to be chosen to be our chapter‘s ambassadors wherever we went. It was fun! We met so many warm and friendly people, many of which have become good friends to us. Every chapter has at least one couple that has contributed to the chapter and should be honored = by being chosen to be the Chapter Couple. We ask that every chapter take a look at y= our membership and select a deserving couple to represent you. Notice we said select, this is something that the Chapter Director should do or have a gro= up of members get together and select a couple to represent them.

Happy Thanksgiving

SW_ASSISTANT DISTRICT DIRECTOR:

As with changes that happen at the close of every year= in our lives, so it is with the district team. At the end of October, Dana and Danise completed their term as NW ADD. It has been a pleasure working with = them for the last two years. They have been a real asset to GWRRA on the state l= evel. Danise’s liveliness and fun outlook on life will be missed. Dana̵= 7;s strong personality and his ability to listen and read into other’s thoughts not only helped members realize their true desires but also at tim= es, could keep the waters calm. They are looking forward to being active member= s of Chapter I and we are sure Chapter I is looking forward to their return. Dana and Danise, we will speak for the entire district and offer our thanks for = all you have contributed to GWRRA. You made a difference!

With their departure, comes an opportunity to welcome = new assistant directors. We welcome Rick and Andi Riek to the position of NW AD= D. We have become friends with them t= hrough their position as Directors of Chapter T in Somerset. Although they have big shoes to fi= ll, these are two people to do it. They are always laughing and having fun in everything they do. You may recognize Rick, as the guy who is always man en= ough to wear a pink hat. We offer a huge welcome to both of them. Be sure to wel= come them to their new position as you see them in their travels.

Fall’s arrival also brings the closure to the current year’s activities. It also signals that the paperwork season begins. We offer a reminder that chapter charter fees are due to us by mid November. We also have a few chapters that will be changing officers, so we will be visiting soon to complete the paperwork.

With November being a month of Thanksgiving, we want to share that we are thankful for the friends we have made in association of GWRRA. We also are thankful f= or the dedication and time devoted by the officers of our district and the great SW chapters F, P, W, E, S, and T. We are also thankful for all the members that make these chapters some of the best in the USA. We offer our wishes to all= for a warm and family oriented Thanksgiving.

In the meantime, enjoy any warm days that sneak into t= he month of November. Happy Than= ksgiving to all.
