Times will be announced as we get closer to the actual event.

We will try to have at least one event every month, normally scheduled on the third Sunday of the month.  However, in January and February there are existing conflicts with the 3rd Sunday, which is why the events are scheduled for the 4th.  If the weather is decent and people are interested, we could always have a pickup ride afterward.  Also, this schedule does not preclude any other events from being scheduled.  If someone has something they’d like to do, please contact Jay, Betsy, Henry, or Louis.

The 3 Northeastern Meet and Great and Eat events have been a great success! Just ask anyone who has attended! Riders from YOW, Chai Riders, Hillel’s Angels and the Montreal Maccabees have enjoyed great Labor Day weekends riding the great roads in Vermont and New Hampshire. Lauren Secular of Chai Riders MC, New York and Steve Stein of Y.O.W. MTC, Toronto have arranged to hold the event once again on the Labor day weekend.

We have blocked off 4 nights and reserved 10 rooms at the 26 room Grey Ghost Inn on Route 100 in the Green Mountain State: Sept. 3^rd to Sept. 7th. Rooms are $92.00 US w/ 2 double beds or $56.00 single. Breakfast is included. If you are interested, please book your room on a first come, first serve basis by calling Magnus or Carina at 1- 800-745-3615. More info here: http://grayghostinn.com/

If the weather is nice, we may have a ride before, or after the meeting. (heck, we can have one before AND after the meeting if the weather is extra nice! )

As we get closer to the date of the meeting, we’ll set up a Yahoo Group poll to get an idea of how many will be there. We hope to see a lot of folks there. In fact, we’d like to make sure that non-Tribe members know they are welcome to attend. You won’t be allowed to vote (A change to membership requirements has been proposed) but we’d like to see you. Hopefully you would even be interesting in joining The Tribe during the event. (if so, please bring your checkbook, Henry doesn’t like handling cash) And for those of you who are currently members of The Tribe, it’ll be around renewal time, so you may want to bring YOUR checkbooks to the meeting as well!
