Bennet, RC of Region 14 and Dawn Brown. Secretary Report was read and accepted.

Treasurer Report as bank Account is being updated. For all of us women out there,
Frog was selected
Sgt. at Arms for the Region! YOU GO
GIRL!
Membership

For
February we need to keep some people in our thoughts and prayers: TC &
Shannon; Becky, TJ & Dallas; Jessica; Amy “CB”; Basic Bob; General.
Happy Birthday to you: TJ Town and you: Too Tall. Happy Anniversary:
Margaret & Ross. The Webmaster says Facebook
still needs about 30 more likes to reach her goal of 500. So go out there and
post to have people like
our Facebook page, we need to make them aware. Check out the new section of
the Region Website
called “Seminar News”.
Drum
roll please: The LO Report: ABATE
has come a long way as a grass
roots organization and voice at the capitol. This year will be no
different, we need our members to step up and be active. Our freedom is not
free and only we can make
us or break us. Put Legislative Days and Pizza and Pop Day on your calendars.
We need to introduce ourselves again and make them aware that we are not going
away just because the Helmet Law passed in our favor, our work is not done. The
next three are days we try to meet with the House Reps and Senators: Wed
March 16th; Wed April 13th; Wed May 18th. Wed June 8th is the Freedom Rally
on the capitol steps at Noon. The latest statistics
on motorcycle crashes show proof that Education and Awareness, not Helmets,
make the difference. There are two new House members in Lansing. Remember to
write, email, snail mail, Facebook or
see the Reps. in house.
And
for Awareness by Kritter, 84 students so far in 2016. Mike is super busy and
needs instructors! Please help if you can!
Don’t forget we have the Awareness Party on April
9, 2016 and the Awareness Ride on April 30, 2016. Get ‘em here, get your
yard signs for just $10
each. Put ‘em all over your yard; that
will make them aware!
Open
Discussion: By laws will be updated and
put on ABATE of MI website after changes from seminar. Hot Rod-Awareness Director
of Mi talked about
not worrying about region borders when teaching awareness. Save a Life is what
matters! Now isn’t that was ABATE has been saying all
along??? Hmm, am I wrong? Thanks
for giving a shit Hot Rod! The Events Coordinator is reminding everyone about
the B4B Bowling event on March 26 at Grand Blanc Lanes; all proceeds go to
Genesee Township Fire Department. Fees must
be paid by March 18, 2016. We have
another B4B meeting in the wind. Thanks
to Janelle and Teddy Bear for taking on products! Way to go and thanks for giving
a shit.
Seminar
was a great success, hope you all made it, if not, we will see you in
2017! Larry, Amanda, Frog and Mike
helped sell tix for quilt. Mike won.
Hmmm, we must be a heck of a lucky region, as the quilts just don’t wanna
leave, cause we keep on winning them!
Yeehaw!! See Larry or Carrie for your 10 pack of 2016 Harley Raffle
Tickets. Valentine’s Day dance
was cancelled, cause we kinda didn’t know about it, sorry all you lovers out
there, there is next year! George
Bennett-Region 14 RC said State’s Products will soon be on the internet. Sandy
won 50/50 and donated some back to
awareness. Great Job. As always, Be Safe
Out There!
Sassy
