What a fantastic meeting/chili cook-off/ pool tournament we had March 1st at the Capital City Riders clubhouse. We greatly appreciate everything this motorcycle club does for the ABATE organization. To show our great appreciation for everything that they have done and continue to do a plaque of gratitude was presented to them on march 1st. It was the first time since the earlier 2000's that they have been recognized with an award such as this. We are extremely grateful for them opening there doors for our organization. Members from our local ABATE region 8B&8E, other regions and general public where in attendance. Congratulations to our 1st place Andy Moen, 2nd Jay Goecks and 3rd place Kate Ward winners in the chili cook-off. Congratulations to the 1st Todd Ward, 2nd Jay Goecks and 3rd place Juan Solis as the winners for our first pool tournament. Speaking of opening the doors, we will be hosting an accident scene management basic and advanced classes April 25th and 26th. Please reserve your spots ASAP. The classes fill up very fast. Even if you have taken the class before, there is nothing wrong with a refresher. Personally I try to attend a course every year. My theory is, if I am prepared properly for a bad situation, I will never have to use the skills I've learned. Let's be completely honest. You will never run across 2 exact same bad situations (everyone hopes they never encounter one in the first place), but with the proper training from these amazing instructors, you will feel confident that you are prepared rather than frantic and scared. Traumatic situations can become uncontrolled within seconds. With the hands-on training that you receive in these classes, you will learn many tools that can be used instinctively in a split second. These courses are motorcycle based. But that doesn't mean the training is only be used in motorcycle situations. The training can be fundamental with any accident situation whether it's an ATV/UTV, snowmobile, vehicle, job site, etc.. Nobody can predict if or when this training could become a life or death situation.
April 5th is Easter, meeting will be moved to April 12th at NV Corners. May 3rd will be a meet and greet at the Slimy Crud Run. June 7th will be located at NV Corners at 1pm. July meeting will be on the 12th due to the holiday weekend. August 2nd and September 6th will be at NV Corners at 1pm. October 4th will be a meet and greet at the Slimy Crud Run. November 1st will be at NV Corners at 1pm.
