August Reflection

August Picnic

Due to our cooks vacation causing them to be quarantined, we had our annual picnic

at the Otego Rod and Gun Club on August 9th instead of a monthly breakfast. There was some confusion about the time, but in

the end we had 26 people attend.

There were no birthdays this month and Art Olmstead won the 50/50. Deb Trask,

Terri Beers, Art Olmstead, and Jack Moly-neaux won tickets. Kaylee Trask was our

guest.

Since this is the event that we usually draw our raffle winners, and covid put a

block on that, we gave the $700 raised to Helios Care (otherwise known as Hospice).

We will use the tickets next year, hope-fully. We have also started gathering new donations for next year, so bring your

change and quiet money to all events.

For those of you who remember who the Retread bear Harley and Beamer are, con-

gratulations. For the rest of us; Harley is a Teddy Bear and Beamer is his little

friend. They have been in hibernation for a while (lost in a basement) but have fi-nally resurfaced. How they work is; a

ticket is pulled to see who fosters them for the next month. You take them on adven-tures, take pictures and do a little write up

for the next newsletter. Then you bring

them to the next breakfast to go to a new

family. Bob Oliver and Nancy Green are their foster family for the month of August.

Stay tuned for their adventures.

Barb Enck thanked everyone for the well wishes she received. They really brightened

her days.

Deb Trask talked about the cabin cruise that has been cancelled. Her and Howard

still have reservations and anyone else that wants to go can still make reservations.

Talk to Deb if you need more information.

Regretfully, Deb and Howard Trask will be

stepping down as our directors. New direc-tors need to step forward. If you are inter-

ested in the position, please contact How-

ard and Deb as soon as possible.

Pete and Betty Slavinski lead a ride follow-

ing the picnic. There were 9 bikes that en-joyed an interesting ride through the coun-

tryside. Thank you.

Please pay attention to upcoming events so

you know when and where they are.

Hope to see you all soon,

Stay healthy and safe,

Lori Butts

Let’s Meet for Lunch

On August 22 we met at the Schoolhouse in Downsville for lunch. 9 of us sat at an

outside table and enjoyed the beautiful day. 4 arrived early and ate at a different

table. Mike Butts won the 50/50.

The parking lot and inside was packed with bikers. This made service a little slow, but with patience we managed to en-

joy good food, good weather and good

friends.

Hope to see more of our group at the next

lunch.

Breakfast for Sept, we will be back at the

American Legion. This month will be a
