Christmas in July
Tuesday, July 22, the LOH will be celebrating
Christmas in July. We will leave Alefs at 6:00 pm
to ride or you can meet us at Larry Buds (21st
and Woodlawn) at 6:30 pm for supper. Bring a
wrapped Harley/Motorcycle “trinket” (i.e. charm,
pin, zipper pull, patch, etc.) for a Chinese Gift
Exchange. The item should be around $10.00
but less than $15.00. If you bring a gift, you will
get a gift but you may have to “work” to get the
gift you want!!! Guys are welcome to join us.
There will be lots of fun and door prizes.
Contact me if you have any questions.

From The Director
It has been a great riding season. Recently the
Chapter enjoyed a beautiful day of fun riding down
into Oklahoma and had a great time. Burger rides
have been a lot of fun with lots of new members
joining us. Check out all the pictures on the
website. Will see everyone on the rides.

Monthly Ride to OK
HOG Chapter Monthly Ride – Arcadia, OK
20 people enjoyed a great ride and great weather
to Mom's and Pop's on Saturday, June 14th. We
took the back roads to Stillwater and ate at Mom's
Place then shopped at Foreman's HD then on to
Arcadia to see the historic Route 66 Round Red
Barn and colorful Arcadia Pop's shop. After that,
the group went in different directions – some came
straight home, some stopped to win money at the
casino and some stopped in Guthrie to eat
(AGAIN). It was a great day – hope you don't miss
the next ride!

Chapter Activities
Need Volunteers
Alefs Harley-Davidson Third Anniversary Party will
be a very busy, fun filled day for all who attend.
Besides the festivities scheduled by the
dealership, our H.O.G. Chapter will be involved
with three activities of our own. We will be taking
pictures of riders and their bikes in front of a huge
American flag. The pictures will be processed and
ready to take home the same day. This is a very
popular event and raises money for our chapter.
We will also be having a membership table to sign
up new members for our chapter. And last but not
least, will be a bake sale to also raise money for
the chapter. As usual these activities cannot take
place without the help of volunteers from the
chapter. There will be sign-up sheets at the July
monthly meeting for people to volunteer for a shift
at one of these events. This is a good way for
members to get involved and meet other members
of the chapter. And it is fun. If everybody does a
little bit then nobody has to be overworked and we
all can enjoy the day. If you cannot attend the July
meeting but wish to help, please contact one of
the Activity Officers.
