I just got back from Ch. W's Anniversary party and was once again amazed at the friendship shared by members of GWTA. It is so important that you get involved with your chapter. Without your support your chapter is missing some very valuable input. Raffle Tickets are now out and I encourage all of you to sell as many tickets as we can. The National counts on these funds to help run the programs we have in place. I have heard many of you complain that there are not that many benifits to belonging to GWTA. The benifits we do enjoy are not gifts, they are perks. In order for us to exist it is necessary to generate monies to opperate. If member in GWTA would jut buy 10 tickets for them selves we would setting great. On that note NE. has always sold a lot of tickets, on the average of about 26 per member. Lets see what we can do this year. I would like to chalange NE. to put that average up to 30 tickets per member.
Nebraska will be hosting a bike show on May 26, at Cabela's in LaVista. This is going to be a great opportunity to get out and meet the public. We will have awards for three of GWTA's best looking bikes and we will be raffleing off a 24 volt electric scooter. We will have a table set up to show the public about GWTA and we will be selling raffle tickets. Cabela's is even going to come up with some give aways for us.
Spring Fling is just around the corner. after many years of absence we will once again have our Nebraska Spring Fling. Several people have been asking what we will be flinging and it has been suggested that we fling our kids. With having a brand new position, NE. State Youth Director, we have decided that Marisa will be the first one flung.
