Directors Dialogue

n behalf of the District Staff, Dorothy and I want to thank everyone who participated in the District Operations Meeting on Saturday, January 25, 2014. Our headcount totaled approximately 164 participants which included Chapter Directors, Chapter Educators, Chapter Membership Enhancement Coordinators, Chapter Couples, and the District Staff members. We believe we covered all of the information we needed to cover in the presentations, answered the questions of the attendees, and all enjoyed the lunch. So far feedback from attendees has been very positive and constructive. As we move ahead, we will learn from this experience and hopefully make the meeting even more streamlined as we cover necessary information. Tom Wright, Tom Tipton, and Sheila Meadows each went home a little richer as winners of the 50/50. Glenn and Becky Fargis of Chapter NC-W, Eden were honored as the Chapter Directors of the Year for 2013. Chapter NC- S2 Sanford, now lead by Jim and Sue Hays was chosen as Chapter of the Year for 2013. Steve & Mary Craig from the Chapter NC-S2 Sanford were honored as the North Carolina District Newsletter Editors for 2013 and it was also announced that they were just recently recognized by Region N as the Newsletter Editors of the Quarter. Because so many members visited other chapters and attended other district rallies in 2013, there were 50 members who will be receiving

certificates for having visited 15 or more chapters. The Traveling Plaques were awarded as was prize money for the winners. Our Membership Enhancement Program Coordinators awarded the Couples Plaques. We had short presentations by the District Rider Educator, District Trainer and District Membership Enhancement Coordinators. We talked about changes in procedures and answered numerous questions from the attendees. Most entertaining was playing a song parody provided by Don Harden of a familiar country western song that we called “Back to Our Roots”. This parody will be made available to chapters across the state of North Carolina and we have invited the individual who sang the song to

attend Wings Over the Smokies for a live performance. Over the coming months, your District Staff will be heavily engaged in working the details of Wings Over the Smokies. We are encouraged by the number of folks who have already registered and encourage you and your friends to register early and book your hotel rooms as soon as possible. Dorothy and I are both scheduled to present some GWRRA leadership training at the O’Berry Center on February 15, 2014. We encourage all, especially those who are new officers in GWRRA to attend this training. Have a Happy Valentine’s Day and let’s hope that the Ground Hog was just kidding about six more weeks of winter.

e have had a really good time attending chapter meetings in our area. I encourage you all to remember to have FUN at your meetings. Fun comes in different ways. Mix it up. Also remember not everyone knows the lingo. I had a lot of fun explaining what the Swap Meet was and was not at Fayetteville’s meeting. They had three people who were new to their chapter so I felt it was worth defining. Otherwise you stand up in front of strangers to GWRRA and say “H2 Durham is having a Swap Meet on March 15” and they go what in the world have we gotten into? We all had a laugh and it was fun. Chapter educators, add some drama or special speakers. David Knight gave a good presentation in Garner at their meeting. Not many people are willing to carry around a full size gator to get their point across. Chapter members it’s not all up to your Chapter Director to make it fun. Do you have a joke you can tell or can you do a skit during the meeting to get a laugh or two? Work with your chapter director so you can have fun as a chapter. After all without your participation it will not be fun.

Smithfield. Again participation is the key because if no one brings chili we won’t have anything to eat. I know some of you are excellent cooks so prepare a pot or two and bring it on. I will be bringing one too. They always have a really good turnout and since they have the Region N Plaque we are expecting some out of state visitors. Just a note, NC-S2 Sanford changed their meeting to February 8 and Smithfield won’t meet on their normal date because of the Chili Cook-off. Check out the district website for more information at www.gwrranc. org. Go through all the different tabs you might find something you didn’t know was there. Speaking of looking through all the tabs, I encourage you to do that with the national homepage. www.

gwrra.org. You might find some information that would help you as a member or your chapter. We would like to welcome our new chapter directors for the East: Bruce and Barbara Lobach, NC-F2 Garner and Jerry and Janet Schilling, NC-U2 Laurinburg. Please support them in their new endeavor and help them make your chapters great. Speaking of great, Congratulations to Glenn and Becky Fargis of NCW Eden, they are the 2013 Chapter Directors of the Year. Also to NCS2 Chapter of The Year for 2013. Remember to get your registrations in for Wings Over The Smokies. We are looking to have a really great time going back to our roots.

February is going to be a busy month. February 15 we will be at the OBerry center with Carol and Tom Scully for Beginner Leadership Training. I am sure they have a fun event planned with some training too. The class is scheduled from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. There will be a break for lunch on your own.

Western Words Mike & Lynn Humphries Western Assistant District Directors

ynn and I were very busy last month visiting Chapters all over Western North Carolina. It was great to see that we were not by ourselves. Most Chapter gatherings had a lot of members and visiting Chapters in attendance even though the weather has not been that great. As you all know GWRRA is an association made up of motorcycle riders, but we haven’t seen that many motorcycles at the gatherings that we’ve visited. So why is everyone out visiting, could it be that we enjoy the fun and fellowship with all the friends that we’ve made over the years, I think so. Winter is the perfect time to start planning for Chapter rides, events, training or what- Rick Dancy, NC-X2, the winner of the Western Travelers plaque. ever the Chapter can do to have fun together, invite your neighboring Chapters to join in on the fun. It shouldn’t be too much longer until warmer weather, and we can get out and ride. Just a reminder now is a good time to do some bike maintenance, change the air filter, change the oil, check those brake pads whatever needs to be done so when riding season is here we will all be ready to ride. I guess you’ve all heard that Lynn and I will be going to the Chili Cook Off in Smithfield again this year and yes we will be entering our delicious, mouth watering, award winning, money making, world’s best chili in the cook off. We are looking forward to seeing all of you there. What’s the most important component of any GWRRA gettogether? Yep, you’re right, the food. The food at the Ops Meeting was excellent.

Building an Educational Cooperative

et me begin by offering a sincere welcome to Sid and Terry Chambers, our newly appointed NC Assistant District Educators. It is exciting to have them representing NC Rider Education. Please be sure to read their newsletter article. You will agree they are a great addition to the team. During the NC District Operations Meeting in Burlington, I had the opportunity to visit with both newly appointed and more experienced chapter educators. There was a lot of information shared that day and it was great to have folks asking questions about the Rider Education Program in a venue where everyone could benefit from learning the answer. By definition a “cooperative” is a group of people voluntarily working together to achieve a common goal. As educators, we have agreed to do what is asked or required in order to empower riders and co-riders making them more capable and confident on the road. The “educational cooperative” we are building makes it possible for all NC members to have positive educational experiences. Customize your safe riding message to represent your chapter’s unique style and personal participant educational goals. With the cooperation of your fellow chapter officers there can be increased interest and involvement in rider education that

can lead to more confident, capable riders ready to ride more often!

cators and Directors. In January 2014 approximately 73% of the bi-monthly communication, “NC District Rider Education Dispatch” had been opened by the recipients. Please be sure your computer recognizes they are not junk or spam so you will receive them. It will be the best way to learn about upcoming educational events on both the district and chapter levels. It is also the way you will learn about policy and procedure updates and changes. The goal is to reduce the number of emails sent and still provide timely notifications. These notices are also shared with chapter directors to make them more aware of prospective educational opportunities for their participants.

Keep in mind along with your District Educator and Assistant Educator, you have the support and experience of Linda (and Frank) Hojnacki, NC Medic First Aid (MFA) Coordinators and Tom Scully (and Carol), NC Motorist Awareness (MA) Coordinators to lend a hand. Besides being the “go to” people to arrange for MFA classes and MA seminars. They are available to answer your questions and offer ideas on the best way to bring these opportunities to your chapter. You will find their contact information on the Rider Education page of the NC District website www. gwrranc.org. Please continue to request rider courses and seminars I want to thank Larry Ward, NCthrough the NC District Educator.

We received a GWRRA Survivor Certificate, but I do not recommend that anyone try and get this award. As the Assistant District Educators, our main goal is to help you become more proficient riders and co-riders without being a “Rider Education Policeman.” We “practice what we preach” and firmly believe in the GWRRA motto, “Friends for Fun, Safety, and Knowledge.” You may have heard of that MSF motto: “The more you know, the better it gets.” Many years ago, I added another line to it, “The more you practice what you know, the better you get.” Thank you for this opportunity to be your ADE.

Making Chapter Life Fun Through Sigs

H

ave you ever tried to come up with ways to make chapter life fun for the members? Have you considered how being involved in a SIG could help? With warm weather and riding season just around the corner, now is the time to talk it up and get your chapter excited. Several chapters are involved in the Camping SIG. For those that like the outdoors, camping is a way to enjoy the camaraderie of your GWRRA friends while also enjoying two of your favorite hobbies; riding and camping. More power to those who enjoy sleeping in a tent. Robert is all for camping but my idea of roughing it is Motel 6.

races. The CB radios on our bikes are very limited in how far the signal will carry, bike to bike but Ham radio signals can travel up to five times farther, depending on terrain. Ham radio is also a great way to make new friends. Just ask Ken and Linda Worland of Chapter A in Greensboro. Both are licensed hams and they can tell you how much fun they had at a special event that they helped with in March 2013.

ters, we look forward to talking to the MECs and exchanging ideas for keeping chapter life fun. Ride Safe. Ride Often. Ride Together.

I know that there are other ideas for SIGs out there and that is where we need your help. We know what hobbies we enjoy but we want to hear from you. What hobby do you enjoy that you think others would enjoy too that would make a good SIG? For those times when the guys Give us your ideas. want to do one thing and the girls As we travel around visiting chapwant to do something else, the Lady Rider SIG is a great way to bring the ladies together. Lady Riders are becoming a growing community within GWRRA and there are enough ladies that do ride that those of us that don’t can hitch a ride. I will gladly be a co-rider for any of our Lady Riders. Let’s ride ladies! For those that are electronically inclined, there is the Ham Radio SIG. Robert and I are very passionate about Ham Radio and would love to see more Goldwingers get involved, especially those that like to Jim & Sue Hays, NC-S2, receiving award for Chapter of the Year. help out with bicycle and triathlon NC Winging - Page 10

Trainer Tips Tom FitzGerald NC District Trainer

The GWRRA Way



GWRRA is not a motorcycle club.”

We’ve all heard it, haven’t we? But just what does it mean? Simply put, it means that our Association and our chapters don’t function in the same organizational and procedural format that “clubs” do. That is, we don’t elect anyone to any position by running candidates against each other and having the membership vote on them. We don’t choose our officers with popularity contests. We don’t impose our wishes on others. We select, not elect. Clubs usually are local in scope. Chapters are national or international and tied to a single organization. We don’t have long and heated debates, make motions, second motions, call for votes or go into long, detailed reports in our chapter meetings. We don’t need uniforms, people giving us rules to obey, or exorbitant fees or dues. We try not to do any “heavybreathing.”

Those folks should be encouraged to attend and participate where they are the most comfortable. We think when they “try it [our format!], they’ll like it.” The GWRRA chapter format of operation is more flexible than a club format. A GWRRA chapter is not a “club,” either in its organizational structure or it’s operational format. It is PART of something bigger than itself. The above is taken from the “Take 5” on the LTP national website page.

GWRRA to ride our motorcycles and have fun. The common interests of safety minded individuals bind us together. I’ve found, as have many other members, that GWRRA is really one big family. You are (or should be) welcome anywhere GWRRA members congregate. That being said, like any family, from time to time there will be family squabbles. It’s in everyone’s best interest to try and settle them quickly and as close to home as possible,

This month we have “Leadership Skills” seminars being held in the Expounding a little more on the East and Central on Saturday, FebGWRRA way, we may not always ruary 15, 2014 and in the West on like the way things are done in a Saturday, March 1, 2014.

Thanks should try and see if it’s more to to our webmaster, William Prince, their liking. for the job he’s doing with www. First and foremost we all joined Gwrranc.org!

In other words, a GWRRA chapter meeting is not presided over by a “president” and conducted according to Roberts Rules of Order or the parliamentary procedure process. That is the format that many “clubs” use in their meetings. We don’t say that we are better than clubs, we are just different. Some people like the club format of operation. This is all well and good. NC Winging - Page 11
