It’s Brunch Time!
JANUARY 15th –2006BRUNCH
LA FUENTE MEXICAN RESTAURANT
625 S. MILWAUKEE
MILWAUKEE, WI.
TIME: 11:00 a.m.
COST: $ WHATEVER YOU MAKE IT
La Fuente’s has been voted by Milwaukee
Magazine as the “Best Mexican Restaurant” and
who am I to argue with them? If you have never
been there come on down and rate them for
yourself. If you have been there, you already
know they are telling the truth. For this brunch
you order right off the menu so you can make it
as cheap or as expensive as you wish. I always
order two tacos and they fill me up. But, Steve
always says I am “Full of It”, whatever that
means! I think he is picking on me, but I just
ignore him as usual. I just keep on smiling and
it drives him crazy just wondering what I have
to be so darn happy about. There are enough
hugs and well wishes to go around so please
come on down and chow down with us.
Hugs and Kisses,
-Brunchkin
Happy Birthday KMC!
KMC is 18 years old this month!
Can’t Wait

Again!
Thank you Kirk and Hal for all the
nuturing, patience, understanding
and guidance.
You raised our family very well!
The Runs Keep Happening
For The Lovely Ladies
LOH Update
Thought that’d get your attention! Ok everyone it’s
time to start thinking about all the poker run fun we
are going to be having next year. We only have to
wait 3 more months until we can purchase the
Statewide Poker Run books! Now, that doesn’t seem
like a long time now does it? We’ve done this for
years, and it’s been lots of fun.
Here’s a blast from the past…a copy of the 1st
Statewide Poker Run article from the 1988 KMC
Newsletter. Anyone remember participating in the
first one? Here was the first bit of info that was written about the 1st Statewide Poker Run:
“Statewide Poker Run May-Oct. 1st: There will be
10 stops and you must make at least 5 to qualify. The
entry fee is $5.00 and the pay off will be 75% to
entries and 25% to the chapter. This will be an open
run to anyone.”
Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more historical tidbits to come!

Welcome to the New Year of 2006. I would like to
thank all the ladies who attended the Christmas Party
on the 14th of December. We all seemed to have a
good time. There are of few things Sue and I would
like to cover. First the bowling party, second the
February and March meetings and third e-mail.
The January 18th meeting is at the AMF Waukesha
Lanes-901 Northview Rd. We had direction maps on
the table at the January chapter meeting, but if you
did not pick one up, please let me know and I’ll get
one to you. The fee for just the bowling is $7, for
just the pizza is $6 and both are $13. The earlier we
get the forms back the sooner we can make all the
arrangements. If you didn’t do so at the meeting, we
need them all no later then the 11th of January.
Sue and I are planning to go to the Rosebud in
February for our meeting. The Rosebud is the theater
in Wauwatosa-6823 W. North Ave. We need to know
who is interested in this also. Once again, if you did
not fill us in at the chapter meeting, you can do so on
the bowling night in January. My friend Sue thought
of a wine and cheese tasting meeting for March. We
would learn what cheeses go with what wines and
beer. We will also have non-alcoholic beverages
available. Sounds like fun doesn’t it? The more
ladies that come to the meetings the more fun we
have so please join us.
Last we would like to get everyone’s e-mail
addresses. There will be times we need to contact
you and it would be so much easier to just email
instead of calling everyone. Pam and I will be working on that. I had a sheet at the chapter meeting, but
will also have it at our January bowling night. Help
us out by signing in....Please sign in ! Those of you
who don’t have a computer I will still call you, but
let us know if you don’t have one.
I’m looking forward to working and having fun
with all of you. Don’t hesitate to call me or email
me about a question or idea. Harley Rocks!!!

From The Director’s Seat
By now Christmas and New Year’s are over, we
have already had our first chapter meeting and are in
the planning stages for a great year. I hope you all
have our calendar of events and have planned your
vacations because we are going to ride!
My name is Howard Wurgler (Howie). I am your
new director. My goals for this year are to ride and
have lots of fun. In order for us to be a successful
chapter we need you. KMC has in the past been a
very large and well-attended chapter-we need to keep
that going because we have the best chapter in the
world.
I promise no more magic tricks! We have a new
meeting place, a new board of directors and lots of
new ideas so I am asking what would you rather be
doing…Riding your H-D or riding your H-D? What
else is there? If you have not been to a meeting in a
while come on out and join us the first Wednesday of
the month at Panos Char House on West Bluemound
and Barker Roads. Thanks for all your support.
