While at the Co-Op buying a plant, my phone rang. It was a local TV reporter who, after checking out our Website, viewing the photos, & reading the May\/June Newsletter was hoping to film some recreational riding activities with SBBCH.\u00a0 He is reviewing his schedule and plans to get back with me, but how cool is this that he called? Everything we do, such as Meeting attendance, Public outreach clinics, Photo submission, Education endeavors, Articles from us for our Newsletter, Volunteer hours, Rides and Trail activities, updates by our Webmaster, etc. is making a difference and getting our message out there. People are noticing.<\/p>\n
In July we have some outstanding fun projects, so please come to what you can. There is the Crooked Creek Trail Project July 2, 3, 4 in Idaho City that has some beautiful scenery. Next is the July 23 and 24 Grand Jean North Baron Creek trail Project.\u00a0 There are only so many heart beats on the trail project but the rest of the group could enjoy a fun ride in another area.\u00a0 This is a great area for our members to recreate in, so please consider this one.<\/p>\n
Now, I would like to acknowledge the new members that have joined SBBCH this year, so please welcome them to our Chapter when you see them:\u00a0 Mildred Bryant, Heather Holloway along with Ron and Diane Woods – Jan 2011, Tia Davis- March 2011, Sharon Prindel, Jim Reid, along with Bob and Pam VanHooser- April 2011, and lastly Bill and Lois Murphy June 2011. Let\u0092s always make them feel welcome. So\u0085.. how about making a quick phone call to a new member that might be close to you and invite them to an event.<\/p>\n
Next, I would like to give kudos to Dan Murphy who joined the Chapter in 2008 with his wife Connie. You will recall that Dan put together the Radio package (x four) which helps us to communicate on the trail and stay safe.\u00a0 He also volunteered his time and taught First Aide\/CPR to us and is willing to teach a more advanced course to members.\u00a0 YEAH!\u00a0 Your BOD approved the $200 course cost with more details to follow.\u00a0 He is also working on the Chapter First Aid kit with Doc Shannon and Ellen, offering his practical insight. I am sure they will be upgrading the kit and training all of us on what\u0092s in there in the near future.<\/p>\n
The July photo is a picture of Phil Ryan, setting up a high line for my Horse Fred at Grandjean, as he (Phil) is always the gentleman. It is nice to have friends and members that are willing to trailer share.<\/p>\n
