We began our June meeting with a moment of silence in memory of our two MTR members, Dick Salveson, Ann Branch and Dana Totty’s Dad, Danny M. Donaldson. They will all be missed.

The following members attending our June meeting, Russell Higgins, Floyd Nunnelee, Fran Salveson, Don and Teresa Hester, Dan and Paul Talkington, Dan Randall, Billy and Hildia Max and yours truly. We had no visitors this month.

Special Notice, per member consensus we agreed to cancel our regular August 9th meeting, we will not have a meeting in August. We will have 3 Birthdays in July; on the 4th, Tod Beers, 17th, Doug Pauley, and again on the 17th, Saundra Stroud. There is only 1 anniversary this month, Mike and Brenda Hopper. Happy birthday, best wishes and congratulations to all.

Please continue to keep our ailing members in our thoughts and prayers; y’all get to feeling better.

Has everyone checked your information and telephone numbers on the Members page on the web and see if they are correct? Also please check the items for Sale by Members page there are new items added. Fran will be listing their Harley Trike, their Motor borne is on consignment and still for sale.

We still have several MTR antenna flags available for $15.00 each. We have a lot tied up in our inventory. Everyone needs one? MTR annual membership dues of $24.00 were due in April. If you haven’t paid yet, and intend too please mail your check to Hildia or me, however if you are not going to renew, please let Hildia or me know one way or another soon.

We also appreciate and thank our Advertiser/sponsors for renewing their ads. The latest being Los Pilares Mexican Restaurant and Fox Ridge Pizza. I will again send statements and hopefully others that are due will renew.

If you know of anyone interesting joining MTR please invite them to a meeting so they can see what we are about and the fun we have. 

Our June 2nd MTR AGWA Freedom Wings, Po-Boy Picnic ride to Mousetail State Park Cancelled out of respect for Dick Salveson.

The June 23rd—MTR Crowley’s Ridge Ride-was a good ride with lunch in Jonesboro at Couch’s BBQ Restaurant, one of my favorites for years, see web site for pictures.

The 2007 Honda Hoot was another good one, lots of activities, food and fellowship, 200 vendors with everything you could ever need. On Saturday, Saturday morning, June 23 at the Honda Hoot, more than 150 people joined the seventh annual Knoxville Ride for Kids®. This event raised a total of $46,458.00 for the Kids. If you have never been to the Honda Hoot or maybe want to go back again, now is the time to make your plans for June 17-22, 2008.

Special information for all that has an AMEX card; the following may also be available with other credit cards, you may want to check, if interested? This month I noticed something I hadn’t seen before. AMEX Travel Medical Protection, providing secondary coverage for up to $100,000.00 for expenses related to Medical Evacuations (includes helicopter) and medical, dental emergencies while on a trip traveling anywhere in the world, when more than 150 mile radius of your home address for up to 45 days per trip. 1 specifically asked if this included motorcycles, it does as well as planes, trains and cruises. All this for only $12 month. You can sign up a day before your trip; it starts immediately, after they get your info, they will mail you the papers to sign, for beneficiary, etc then just call and cancel with in a month or as soon as your trip is over. You can have a whole year coverage for $139 is this a deal or what?

Another note of interest. AMA Charters has raised 71 million supporting Charity organizations up to date. Proving we Motorcyclists not only care, we do something about it. When I fill out the Charter form I showed our contribution as the $500 we spent on the Boys at the Ranch for their Christmas party.

Thanks to all for the donated door prizes, we appreciate your contribution.

Remember our next meeting will now be September 13,2007 at Fox Ridge Pizza, hope to see you then.
