Our legislative officers (Marty- Genesee and Mark “The
Bus”) are doing a great job keeping us informed of the happenings in Lansing.
There are a few bills that are pending approval for our Right to Ride Free. Please
refer to our state Legislative officer Jim Rhoades section in the front of this newsletter.
Jim has the most updated information. I can tell you to please call your
legislative representatives. You may not think that your voice counts..but it
does. They were voted by the public and should support the views of their constituents.
Our products team is waiting on new merchandise. Come to a local meeting to see what is available. Special
orders are available. You will just need to pay at the time of ordering. On to
