Words from our Chapter Directors
Larry and Linda Jenkins
Are you ready for this “E” Ticket Ride?
What is an “E” Ticket Ride? If you were around in the Sixties and Seventies and
went to Disneyland in Los Angeles you would have remembered (maybe) -----if not ---anyways when you went to Disneyland, you purchased a booklet of ride tickets to
go on rides. The Matterhorn ride was an “E” ticket ride and the Cars on Main Street
ride was an “A” ticket ride.
Now an “E” ticket ride was a ride that could scare you, shake you up, get your heart
racing---but it was set up to be fun.
On Thursday January 1, 2015 we are taking over as your Chapter Directors and we
relate this to riding the Matterhorn (“E” Ticket Ride). We are a little scared and we
might get shaken up and make mistakes. Our Hearts will race when there is an issue
that we do not know how to handle, but with your help and support all will be good.
We will have fun and hope you will too.
So on January 3rd please come to the chapter gathering
and have fun, laugh at our mistakes; join us at our socials, team meetings, rides and other chapter events---but again---have fun.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year
Larry & Linda Jenkins
Chapter Directors
Words from our
Assistant Chapter Director
Tim Butters
Wow where did another year go? I guess it is true the older you get the faster the years go by. I really do not know where to start. We had some great rides this year thanks to Dan. All of our socials
were fantastic and the turnout as always was great, thank you Janice for setting those up for us. We
had a great success with our chapter raffle this year thanks to all that made it possible. Larry was an
animal selling raffle tickets and we had some great sponsors donating not one but two sets of tires.
How about the Christmas party this year? Yosemite Falls Café decorated the room for us and the
staff, as always, provided excellent service.
A few of our members had a tough year. Paty Clyborne gave us a scare but I am happy to say she
made it through her ordeal and is healthy now. Mike Machado was in a scary accident on his bike
and is on a road to recovery.
Finally I would like to thank all the officers that served for the last two years. These people give
many hours every month to plan and organize all the events we enjoy every month. Steve and Teri
our chapter directors, they had some challenges that tested them but did not waiver in their commitment to our chapter and made it a fun two years. Assistant CD’s Joe, Shirley, Larry and Linda, what
can I say. They were our ambassadors to many rallies. Larry was everywhere with his camera taking pictures like a madman. Larry also took on the chapter newsletter. Shirley also did double
duty as our chapter educator. Shirley does a great job coming up with new topics not only for our
newsletter but at our meetings as well. Dan thanks for putting great thought and planning into our
rides. I know it is no small task putting these routes together. Dan also is in charge of our ways and
means. The SaveMart rewards cards have put extra money into the chapter so we can continue to
operate thanks to him. Paty, as our membership enhancement coordinator, has been keeping on top
of chapter memberships. Ross handles our 50/50 every month and always does a great job. Janice,
thank you for arranging all of our socials as our public relations person.
I would like to wish everyone a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I am looking forward to
see what Larry and Linda have in store for us in 2015

Words from our District Directors
Vincent and Pamela
Puterbaugh
Happy New Year!!
The presents have all been exchanged, the boxes and wrapping paper discarded, and the tree packed
away for another year. Hopefully, you were on Santa’s “nice” list and got everything you deserved, if
not, next year work harder to get on the “naughty” list and guarantee yourself getting everything on
your wish list (it worked for Princess). Now it’s time to take a peek at this year’s GWRRA’s activities and looks like another full year of fun!
On the 24th of this month, California has its annual Officer’s Conference at the Double Tree hotel in
Bakersfield. Most of us think of it as an officer’s only meeting because all of the chapters’ officers
are supposed to attend, but the meeting is open to all members and, yes, the $25 lunch fee and hotel
costs are legitimate expenses that the chapters are expected to pay for if their bank balance permits.
The meeting runs all day and then Princess and I will be hosting a party in our suite with food and
beverages. Last year we had about 75 people at the party and we are hoping to double that number
this year. Please let your Chapter Director know by the 12th of this month so they can get us an accurate headcount for lunch.
Last year, Princess and I were able to attend every chapter’s rally, the Officer’s Conference in Bakersfield, Region F’s Convention in Utah, the Horizon’s Certification Training course in Riverside,
the “Lead Like You Ride” Certification Course in St. George, the California District Convention in
Agoura Hills, and Wing Ding in Madison Wisconsin. Combined with the weekends I teach at Streetmasters and I think we were home for five weekends in all of 2014. Like many of you, we still work
full-time and, fortunately, our real estate business has started to pick up. This means that this year
we will not be able to attend all of the events so we were left with the dilemma of how to decide
which chapter events to attend. Out of fairness, we will be attending the chapters that did not hold a
rally last year: chapters CA1-S, CA2-A, CA2-J, CA2-Q, and CA2-S and then we will randomly draw
4 chapters at the Officer’s conference and will commit to attending those events as well.
Just a quick reminder to all Chapter Directors and Treasurers that your yearly financial statements are
to be submitted at the Officer’s Conference and the receipt for your 990-N needs to be submitted to
Princess by the 12th.
Until we see you in Bakersfield, ride well and ride often.
-Princess and Vincent Puterbaugh
Words from our Chapter Educators
Shirley and
Joe Machado
Hi everyone this is going to be my last article for 2014. Joe and I want to thank Steve and Teri for having
the spunk to stick with the chapter thru thick and thin.
For those of you who have never been in the position they were in it’s not easy to hang in when there is so
much unrest. They were real troopers and did what they had to do. For that we commend them! Job well
Done.
Larry and Lindy Jenkins will be our new chapter directors. We all need to rally around them and give them
all our support to continue to make this chapter a great one. That being said we’re on to another year with a
lot of rallies and riding to do. We’re looking forward to the New Year !!
Passing:

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and/or a Happy Holiday.

Words from your Newsletter Editor
Steve Rippe
I guess most of you know me so there’s no point in introducing myself. You wouldn’t believe
me anyway. I agreed to take over as newsletter editor because I thought it was only fair that if
Larry was taking over my job I should take over his.
Even though I’m listed on this thing as the editor, it’s not my newsletter. It is yours. With that
in mind I want to remind everyone that if you have something to say this is the perfect venue
for your words and ideas. I’m supposed to edit it, not write it. So pitch in and write something! It doesn’t have to be long. Even just a paragraph or two would be nice and only takes a
couple of minutes.
I won’t always have anything to say, and it certainly won’t always be constructive or even
useful. So you guys are going to have to help out.
A husband and his wife were sound asleep when suddenly the phone rang.
The husband picked up the phone and said, "Hello? How the heck do I know? What do I look
like, a weatherman?" He then slammed the phone down and settled into bed.
"Who was that?" asked his wife.
"I don't know. It was some guy who wanted to know if the coast was clear."
