Due to inclement weather predicted for most of the day this Saturday 7/11, our scheduled meeting, which was to be held outside at 9:00 AM has been canceled.

Best Regards,

We will have a chapter meeting Saturday July 11th @ 9:00 AM. We will not be meeting in the Hog’s Den but outside at the back of the building. You can park your bike or trike in the parking lot and walk through the dealership or ride to the back of the building. Be advised if rain is forecast we will not be having a meeting. We will do all we can to follow the guidelines set by the CDC and State of Maine for social distancing. Attending the meeting is not mandatory and if you are not comfortable do not feel that you have to attend.

Good Morning,

Hopefully everyone has been able to enjoy this recent stretch of great weather and has been able to get out and ride. We will not be having a meeting in June. Many of our members fall into the “at risk” category due to age, underlying health issues or compromised immune systems. I am in hopes that we will be able to meet Saturday July 11 @ 9:00 AM. If we do, it will be outside and we will try and to maintain the social distancing guidelines set forth by the CDC. Hopefully these restrictions will be somewhat relaxed by then. I want to stress that no meeting is mandatory and if we do meet in July and you feel uncomfortable in a group setting you should not feel obligated to attend.

Stay safe and well!
