Happy Holidays,
Well,
It is that time of year again. My bicycle is hanging on the
hooks, fully decorated and waiting for the Christmas party. The
box of white elephants are waiting to get wrapped. This year I
even get to lead the pre party light ride. It has some short
hills but not to worry we will be going slow and will probably
laughing to hard to notice them.
We will
return from the ride to find our party where friends have
gathered, set the tables, chilled or heated the beverages and
are waiting to welcome us to the party.
Then there
is the ride miles awards congratulations to all who have earned
them. And thank you to our former president for rounding them
up. This year (unlike the patch kits) I am sure you will look
forward to using them.
White
elephant gift opening and trading will keep us all laughing as
we try to not take home the biggest box, while negotiating for
that one thing that nobody
believes is a white elephant.
All evening
long we will be talking, eating great food and enjoying some
holiday time with friends.
I'll See
you at the party
Bill Weber

Club News
Holiday Party Dec. 2
There’s never a
stranger at the BIKES Club Holiday Party, where we share good
food and great fun with our annual potluck and white elephant
gift exchange. The club will provide baked ham, hot cider and
non-alcoholic beverages. You bring salad, dessert, appetizer or
side dish – as well as non-biking family members.
The annual lighted
bike ride leaves at 5 p.m. for a few easy miles (less than 10)
of showing off our Santas and such (just throw on a headlight
and blinker if you’re not feeling creative).
Gather at 6 p.m.
for dinner. Later we’ll exchange gifts – something old,
something new, something crazy or something too good to be true.
In case you haven’t been to the party before, our gifts run the
gamut from “must-haves” and nice re-gifts to “must-avoid”
classics. Whatever you bring, bring your sense of humor and
don’t spend more than $10.
We ask that you
RSVP to Warren (425-743-7593)
warrenbare@verizon.net,
this week, but if you haven’t done that yet, we’re always happy
to see you anyway!

Club Constitution Vote Dec. 2
We hope to get a
quorum for a final vote on a club name change during the holiday
party. The choices are: Snohomish County Bikes Club or B.I.K.E.S.
Club of Snohomish County.
Polls open at 6 p.m., and the “primary” will end an hour later,
at 7 p.m., in case we need time for a second round of votes to
get to the required supermajority approval of a new name. Sorry,
our club constitution does not allow proxy voting.
