President, Yankee Beemers Inc

Wow.

 Its been 6 months of being The President. I have done a lot of work, nearly 30 minutes or more every day of planning , promoting and managing events. Making calendars, writing articles for the club newsletter, giving talks at the breakfasts, and leading rides.

Yesterday I spent 5 hours drawing ad copy for the Damn Yankees, and I planned a Magical Mystery Tour.

Today I posted it all over the internet.

Now I have to do all the location scouting and make the rally book.

Sunday I did a breakfast at Vanson Leathers factory, last week it was 3 days running the Pemi Rally. I spent the weekend before shopping for the food for the rally.  3 weeks ago I rode to the BMW Rally in Cass West Virginia, on a Harley no less. Heretic? nope. Poor taste, nope. Great ride with my gal, you betcha!

I hope that my volunteering to be president is helpful in keeping the Yankee Beemers going. Since I graduated college in 1998 I have ridden to YB Campouts. When I get there on my bike there is a whole field of people like me. Finally, after hanging around long enough, someone said "hey, its your turn at bat".

I can put myself into extrovert mode, channeling that speech class, my senior seminar, and the at-work presentation mode that I have to do, but its work. I psych myself up, figure out what has to be done, and start doing it.

This is a great organization, and I hope that it lives on, so I
