Hello everyone,

Hello everyone,
I gotta believe spring is somewhere close. Seems like every year it takes longer to warm up but maybe its just the fact I am getting older.
In case you haven't heard, ABATE of Michigan now has a youtube channel called ABATE of Michigan a New Beginning. If you watch the video you can see where the title came from. I want to thank Brian Walters for putting this channel together and I also want to thank Brians significant other Kristin Arend for doing the editing and helping Brian put this together. Please watch the video then like it and also subscribe to the channel which will help this channel spread to as many people as possible.
May is Motorcycle Awareness month. Every region should be getting their communities the May is Motorcycle Awareness month proclomations so the townships can get the signs out and write it in the township newsletters for all to see. I attended a governors traffic safety action committee meeting and they are even talking about motorcycle awareness month. Now if we could get every month to be motorcycle awareness month maybe we could save some lives.
Pizza and pop is May 13th at the representatives building in Lansing. I would like to see as many people from ABATE as possible. Come and eat free pizza and talk with your legislators and their aides as they all enjoy this event.
The pizza and pop event kicks off a busy stretch for ABATE. There are many regions that have Spring Fling rides during May, maybe we could get new members to sign up at the ride. Some regions offer people the chance to become a new member then go on the ride for free. June 6 - 8 is the State Field Meet which is at a new venue which sounds nice and then June 11 is the Freedom Rally which will be held at the White House which is across the street from the capitol building on Ottawa street. After the rally there will be the fish fry. This is some of the best fish I have ever eaten. Fresh fish caught in the great lakes.
Hope to see everyone there.
Ride safe - Gary
