As most of you know September 7th is the annual Ride For Kids, supporting the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.  Here is some additional info to pass on from Mary Rairden
 
There's only three weeks till The Ride for Kids.
 
I know you all have your calendar marked for Sept 4. This will be the volunteer training meeting,and it will be necessary to attend. It will be held at the First Baptist Church, 701 1st St, Kirkland WA.at 7:00 pm. Even if you've volunteered other years, some things change and to prevent misunderstandings we need you there. Also this year we will be doing volunteer registrations, for the Ride, at the training meeting.We will also be given our volunteer shirt--which is just for volunteers. Thank you Ken Watson for sponsoring those shirts.
 
The day of the ride we will be handing out premiums during registration. That means we will need more volunteers than in past years.So if you know anyone who would like to help please have them contact me or just show up at the meeting.
 
Help get the word out that the Cossacks will be performing at 9:00AM.
 
If you can not volunteer, please come to the ride on Sept. 7th at Remlinger Farms,32610 Northeast 32nd St Carnation,WA. Registration starts at 8:00 AM and closes at 9:45 AM. The ride begins at 10:00 AM.

Good Evening Everyone......

I apologize for not getting this info out before now but I'm in School Bus Driver Re-training till the end of the month and I'm not used to studying or having to be somewhere at a set time each morning.  The last 6 months have been a great vacation. 

7 Chance Tickets - these are the $20 tickets that you say SPLIT or DRAW on.  Tickets will be sold from now,  8/10/2008 thru 12/31/2008.  One ticket will be drawn each month; Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May & Jun with the big winner being pulled in July at Gold Rush.  I have attached the rules for the Final Drawing at Gold Rush.  If anyone would like these tickets to purchase or assist us in selling them it would be greatly appreciated just give us a call and I'll get a few in the mail to you.  Region "A" has 400 of them to sell and the moneys will need to be turned back into us at the end of each month.  National will ONLY print & sell 2,500 of them. If you need more info on them please call us.

Region "A" Rally - Pendleton, OR Convention Center, Aug 28th - 31st.  There's still time to make plans on attending.  You don't want to be left out of all the fun.  We've got 3 rides to chose from, a Walk-about through town where you can purchase a bracelet from the Chamber Office and another 52 charms at other business, Chili Cook-off, Ice Cream, 50/50, and lots more.

Gold Rush XXII - will be held in Lexington, KY.  Check the National web page for more info and the registration form.

Dues Increase - Dues increase on Sept 1st.  If you haven't renewed yet do it before the price goes up.  Remember, you can renew for multiple years, single or family, at the old price as long as it's done before Sept 1st.

That's all I can think of right now.  Thanks to everyone for making my job as a Regional ea sier and your patience.

Lindy
