| Our meetings are the 1st Thursday of every month at Kickapoo 
			Creek Park, at the 1st pavilion at 7 p.m. The general public is 
			welcome to come check us out. Who knows, you may like what you see 
			and join us!
 The month of May is “Motorcycle Awareness Month”. Please folks, 
			teach yourselves to watch for bikes and listen for bikes. Loud pipes 
			do help save lives … but not all bikes have loud pipes. We also 
			can't stop on a dime, just as you can't. But we aren't in a cage. 
			This is the time of year we are just getting our bikes out so we are 
			"getting our sea legs" so to speak. The bikes have been put away for 
			several months. Watch those blind spots! Don't assume you have room 
			to pull out in front of us. Road rash hurts!!
 
 Our membership is growing!
 
 In just one month we have gone from 79 members to 91. People are 
			definitely seeing the good we are doing and that we have fun doing 
			it.
 
 Important dates
 
 May 10 -- IGA Cookout – 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
 
 In honor of motorcycle awareness month we will be serving pork chop

 Members: We need a minimum of 6 people there all the time! 
			Please come donate an hour of your day to give someone a break. We 
			need to be there at 9:30 to set-up and start cooking IGA supplies 
			everything and we get $1 for every sandwich sold so tell everyone 
			you know to come have lunch.
