Hey Hou-Tex…I hope you are enjoying this cooler weather and getting to ride some. We have been
blessed with some nice weather as of late, with cool mornings and evenings and tolerable days.
I hope everyone enjoyed the Hou-Tex birthday party. A big thanks to all the folks who helped make
it a success. The group photo turned out very nice. The officers are working on a plan to make a
copy of the group photo available to the members. Stay tuned for more info.
In addition to the birthday party, we have had a month full of chapter events, from the Nun-Run, to a
Ghost Ride, to State Rallies, to lunch rides. There is never a shortage of reasons to ride with HouTex. But it doesn’t stop here. November has a calendar full of lunch rides. Also, the Lone Star
Rally is just around the corner on November 6th thru 9th. So…get out there and ride. Please check
out the rides in this newsletter and on our website and FB pages.
The next big event for us is the annual Christmas party. It is coming up Friday, December 5th. Mark
it on your calendar and look for more details in this newsletter and in the coming weeks.
Please check our Hou-Tex prayer list. Martin Lemke sustained some serious injuries in a
motorcycle accident last week. He remains hospitalized with more surgery to come. Charlie
remains in very serious condition in the hospital in Florida following a lung transplant and heart bypass surgery. We have other members and families who also need our prayers
November officially kicks off the holiday season for us. So as we celebrate Thanksgiving and then
Christmas please take a moment to reflect and be appreciative of our blessings and our freedom.
This should be a time of good food and family gatherings, but it should also be a time when we
remember the less fortunate. Share a blessing when you can. You never know when just a simple
act of kindness is just what that person needed on that particular day. And don’t forget the men and
women of our armed forces who protect us and keep us free.

God Bless Our Troops and God Bless America ! ! !
