It is the middle of January and it feels as though we have been in a deep freeze. Seems strange to feel that 30 degrees above zero is a heat wave!
Just realized that I hadn't mentioned our officers in the chapter. A big thank you to each one and to every member in our chapter that make it such an enjoyable group!
Our officers remain the same with the following exceptions.
Bill Kirkpatrick is now our ride captain.
Jerry DeGann is receiving emails and distributing them to help out the CD.
Our blog is our newsletter and other information is distrbuted by inter-chapter emails and phone calls.
Chapter H regular meeting will be held Saturday,
February 14th, (yes, Valentine's Day) at 6:30 p.m. at Okoboji Grille in Johnston, (near Wynnsong Theaters.)
For more GWTA events, please check out Iowa’s State Web site at: www.iowagwta.com
Everyone be healthy and be safe.

January 2009 Chapter H Meeting
Friendship Riders of Iowa had their January meeting at Okoboji Grille in Johnston on Saturday, January 10th at 6:30 p.m. We had 11 members present at the meeting. At the beginning of the meeting, we called Jon and Rosalee, who are wintering (and riding) in south Texas and they were complaining of rain..poor babies!
We had met earlier in the day to work on Blankets for Operation First Response, and some of the members were not able to make it to the meeting later.
We will work on choosing restaurants for our Monday night supper rides for 2009, at our next meeting, on February 14th at Okoboji Grille in Johnston, at 6:30 p.m.
We will present the blankets that we finished and the slippers that Dee made, to PJ Sesker for Operation First Response http://www.operationfirstresponse.org
at the February Meeting.
We updated information on our Chapter Directory and will try to have them available to anyone that wants one.
Anyone interested in camping and going to Kansas City Spring Fling the end of April, please contact Patti Harvey so she can get camp sites reserved.
Looking for warm weather so we can ride! After just receiving about 8 inches of new snow and forecasting more snow and blizzard conditions on Monday, we are more than ready for riding season to begin soon!
Everyone be safe and see you soon

Chapter H club house meeting January 10, 2009
Chapter H members got together at the Chapter H club house and worked on blankets to donate to Operation First Response. We had snacks, friendship and fun. Even the guys contributed on the blankets. We plan to present them to PJ Sesker at our February 14th meeting at Okoboji Grill in Johnston, Iowa.

Happy New Year 2009
Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year, a year of good health, happiness, wealth, love, family and friends. And lots of safe riding!
With the snow and ice, we have not gotten to ride. Hoping the weather is better soon.
Some of our members are snow birds or have gone south to visit their families during the holidays. After hearing our temps compared to where they were visiting, second thoughts about returning to Iowa were formed. Welcome to Iowa!!
A reminder of our meeting on Saturday, January 10th at 6:30 p.m. at Okoboji Grille. For those that want to work on the project for Operation First Response, we are meeting at the club house at about 1:00 p.m. Saturday. If you wish to bring snacks that is fine and then when finished, will go to the meeting afterwards.
We look forward to seeing everyone.
Be careful walking and driving out there.
