PRESIDENT’S REPORT Bobbi Ozanic Our first attempt at a new summer party is in the rearview mirror. Thank you to Docker’s for all of their support. . I hope we had a good time with nice weather. Children of the Corn chapter had their ride the same day, and Sherry their activities sister called and invited us to come along. Hope we had takers! We are looking forward to being certified in CPR/First Aid by our member and first responder, Dellann Stutsman. This is on Sunday, July 19th at the Northenders VFW starting at 10a.m. and lunch is included. See Flyer on the Front Cover! Keeping it short to get the newsletter done. It is Monday July 6th and I should have had it to the printers. I’m curious to know when folks are in receipt because I have been getting it done by Tuesday and its not getting to me for 10 days the last few months. If you know MS Publisher or any other program for creating publications, take over the newsletter ! See you at the meeting! VICE PRESIDENT’S REPORT George Hurst The second state party in Petersburg has come and gone. It was a wet, messy, good time. I think our chapter had less members there this year than last. I don’t know if it was the weather or the cost that kept you away. The state party and bike raffle is how A.B.A.T.E. makes the money to fight for motorcyclists rights. Help A.B.A.T.E. fight for your rights and sell or buy some tickets. If the membership doesn’t support the organization it might disappear. Where will our rights go then. Ride Free ~ George Bobbi Ozanic, President ACTIVITIES COORDINATOR Alice Furlow Hi everyone, Check out all of the flyers ! Thank You to everyone for volunteering at the state party!

SAFETY & ED COORDINATOR George Hurst July is here already, our CPR class is the 19th of the month. With all the rain and flooding the deer are on the move a lot so watch for them. I’ve run across a few freshly oiled roads. Be aware of the rock buildup at intersections and curves. Remember to look for them because they’re not looking for us. Promote Motorcycle Awareness ~ George “The truth is like a lion. You don’t have to defend it. Let it loose, and it will defend itself.” -St. Augustine of Hippo Downed Riders Benefit By: George Hurst, Chairman The benefit is almost here, we’re still looking for auction and raffle items. We’ve had some members step up to sell tickets, but we’re still behind in sales. This benefit is for our members, that’s where the money goes. In the past the majority of our membership doesn’t come to the benefit. If you’re one of those members, you could still help your chapter by buying some raffle trickets. You or someone you know might need help someday. Support your benefit ~ George WOW Did we have a nice ride at the ABATE State Party a few weeks back when Lincoln Land led the ride to Havana and back. If you weren’t there, you missed a FUN and MUDDY mess of a party—it was a great time!! AND a FEW of the 600+ Lincoln Land members got to work as soon as they got there [and before] & dug right in to ALL of the good bad and ugly work that was needed all weekend ….

Our riding season is well underway and I hope you are all able to get some riding in between the raindrops. Kat & I are doing our best to put some miles under our belts. It seems as though everywhere we go, I am able to hand out an ABATE application along the way. That’s what I would like to see all of you do as well. Pick up a handful of applications and distribute them to those who need our protection of their rights, and we need them to help support our cause, which is our motorcycling rights too. That is what we are all about. The partying and good times together is just a perk, we ARE a legislative group keeping our lawmakers in check and holding on to every right we can. Also we need to have more members make time for our monthly meetings. PLEASE get on the phone and invite someone who hasn’t been to a meeting for a while and all of you show up and make the next meeting. As we have all been saying for years and years, Just sign up one member and we will double our membership. I am totally amazed at the number of riders out there that are not, and have not been members of ABATE. Seriously, if you ride a motorcycle, you should be an ABATE member, because without us you would be setting at a red light forever because it wouldn’t change with no accent lighting so you can be seen from the side on a new bike that you “HAD” to buy so it could burn E-15 fuel while wearing a helmet in 100 degree weather and that’s if your government said you could. Without ABATE this could seriously be where we would be today. Think about this, once we are gone, the younger generation is going to be riding What, When, Where and How the government will allow you to ride. All because we “ARE” a dying breed. Do you want this for your kids or grandkids? If not, you all better be trying to recruit new members because we are all getting older with nobody to replace the current membership. Find a biker that needs us. Find a long lost member to bring with you. Invite a friend or neighbor, but bring someone into our fold and bring them to a meeting. Make someone a Brother or Sister to you and ABATE. We need them and whether they believe it or not, they need us. HINT: While you are out and about, Look for anyone with a biker T-shirt and ask them if they are an ABATE member. If they are, thank them for their continued support. If not, at the very least hand them a membership application. If you have the gift of gab, fill them in on what we do for the riding community and the local community as a whole. THIS IS MY FAVORITE AND MOST SUCCESSFUL SENTENCE TO SIGN MEMBERS UP: Remember, only 2% of everyone who rides is an ABATE member, and that 2% fights the fight for 100% of those who ride. To put all of this in perspective for all of you: ABATE is approximately 9,000 strong! How many motorcycles do you think are in Springfield and within the Lincoln Land Chapter area? A hell of a lot more than 9,000 and that’s just our area. We all need to get out there and spread the word folks. Everyone! A Brotherhood Aimed Toward Education. Let’s educate them about us, ABATE and what we stand for!!! Just think what riding would be like without ABATE. Ride safe everyone.
