CMC SSM Christmas party

Friday, December 5 2014

Hi Everyone

Friday night was our chapter's potluck Christmas Party and it was outstanding.

It was too bad so many had to work or weren't feeling well; you would have really enjoyed the company - good friends and excellent food.

Those who attended were: EchoBay & MrsEchoBay, Needles & DD, Dusty, Drifter & Kee, Hooleo & BP, baseman55 & Karen, Brewster & Kido, Kranky & Rosey and Wolverine.

Thank you everyone for bringing all the great food. From the hors d'oeuvres to desserts, it was delicious.

It was nice to see everyone in the holiday spirit, laughing and joking while songs of the season played in the background.

Special thanks to Kido for being Santa's helper in seeing that everyone received a gift bag and ensuring there were lots of door prizes to be given out. You made the evening special for everyone; thank you.

Thanks also to Needles, DD and Kido for setting up everything at the hall for us.  I don't know what we'd do without such great people.

Pizza night ends riding season while kicking off winter social season

Tuesday, October 21, 2014

Sixteen members of the CMC Sault Ste. Marie chapter attended last Tuesday's  Pizza Night and meeting.

Everyone socialized while they enjoyed plenty of delicious pizza, muffins, cookies, brownies and beverages.  It was good to see Mongo, Bassman55, Karen and Dusty out as well as many others who were regulars on this season's rides.

As everyone enjoyed dessert or an extra piece of pizza, first officer, EchoBay called the meeting to order welcoming those in attendance. 

Treasurer, MrsEchoBay reported on the chapter's finances or lack of which precipitated a lively discussion on how the group could raise funds for patches and proposed social events.  Those around the table quickly donated $260 in direct donations, gift basket draw and sale of patches that evening.  It's hoped that those absent will also contribute.

As a riding and social club, chapter members will be able to stay in touch over the winter with Coffee and Chat get togethers Sunday, November 16 and the last Sundays in January, February and March at 11:00 am.  A number of locations are being scouted out.  Members are also invited to the chapter's pot luck Christmas Party which will be held Friday, December 5 in Goulais River north of the Sault.  The success of last year's summer barbecue was also discussed and it was agreed another would be held in 2015.

Second officer, Needles once again offered to draw up the 2015 ride schedule.  Armed with a number of suggestions including new routes, overnight rides, group rides with other CMC chapters and his extensive knowledge of local routes in Algoma, 2015 looks to be another great year to ride . . . as long as Mother Nature plays along.

Participation in charity rides beyond individual riders was discussed. Members were reminded that CMC bylaws do not allow chapter participation as a sponsor in any manner.  Those present pledged to support other rides organized by groups whose bylaws support such activity and carry liability insurance for the event.

Drifter was thanked for his upkeep of the group's blog.  He noted that in addition to page views from Canada and the United State, the site has also been viewed by others around the world in Poland, Sweden, France and Indonesia.
