ABATE REGION 19
January 3, 2012
Our meeting was called to order with the Pledge of Allegiance lead by Hippi Bill. Jerry Hobson brought two guests with him: Tom Peters and Tim Cartier. Welcome was given to all!
LEGISLATIVE REPORT was given by Vince Fabis and basically there isn’t a change from last month. Some discussion has been held that we combine SB 291 with the no fault insurance with a $20,000 medical rider for driver and another $20,000 for passenger to go with no helmet. What the Governor will do is unknown but you are encouraged to call him at 517-373-3400 or fax at 517-335-6863 or email: Rick.Snyder@michigan.gov. You can call the Constituent Services at 517-335-7858 and just say that you are supportive of SB 291.
SECRETARY REPORT – N/R
TREASURER’S REPORT – was approved as presented. We are still waiting our check from the Swap Meet which is expected within this month.
INTERNATIONAL MOTORCYCLE SHOW – is January 6-8 and we have an ABATE booth which needs to be manned. Eddie and Jerry volunteered for Friday. Thanks to all of you who will be volunteering throughout the weekend.
STATE SEMINAR of course in January 13 – 15th and Sandi has volunteered to coordinate the food. It will be a very informative weekend. Mike Kowell will be attending on Saturday. If you cannot attend throughout the weekend, perhaps you can only come up on Sunday to vote for the Board. The region has a room is you need to crash. The Saturday workshops will begin at 8:30 and end at 4:00 p.m. The awards banquets and “Member of the Year” recognition will be done at 7:00 p.m. Go Pam.
Our CHRISTMAS PARTY was a great and all who attended has a good time. We enjoyed the music by Johnny – no wonder that they call you awesome. We our toy drive, and we were able to provide Christmas for 56 Waterford families and that is a wonderful way to remember the season.
Pam advised that when the re-districting is done, new ID cards will be issued.
Our meeting was adjourned in time for all to leave to watch the football game.
Be safe.
