A lot of information was given to the members by several speakers & officers of the Chapter. Left to right on the front wall: LeRoy, Darrell & Gene.

Leland, who was in the hospital this week, thanks the members for their prayers, concern and visits.

Pattie addresses the members as LeRoy looks on, about the M.A.C. event upcoming this Monday and The Ride to Work event this coming Wednesday

.

All eyes, or at least most eyes, are on Mike as he addresses the members. Steve (in the chair) & Vicki (behind the chair) look on..

Front row 1-4 & # 7: Robert, Tybee (his daughter), Tammy & Tim and Pattie is in at # 7....

Helen,Sissy & Jim (in black shirts) & Gloria look on from the fireplace mantel..

Sharon, Darrell, Rob, Helen, Sissy, Lance, Gloria & Steve (in the chair, back to camera) listen to info & look at a brochure about an upcoming ride...

A view from the back of the room at the members.. That is Rianne with a soda can..

Vicki sign herself & Rianne up for some shirts.

Sissy takes a pic of Sharon..

Sharon draws for one of the many prizes awarded at the meeting from the can being held by Gene. LeRoy looks on.

Robert shows the lucky winning ticket for the 50/50 drawing. By sheer coincidence, the ticket was drawn by his daughter, Tybee. I was there and it was on the up & up, although he caught a lot of good natured grief from the other members...

Here he is getting his prize while Tybee is still laughing in disbelief..

The meeting wraps up and Sissy takes another picture.

Here is Vicki and daughter Rianne, downstairs after the meeting..

Here are Vicki & Rodney fixing to leave for the Dinner Run, as other members head down the stairs.

Out in the parking lot, members get saddled up and prepare to head out to eat...Some went to El Mejicano Restaurant & others went to Jefe's Restaurant. Our group went to Jefe's. Here are Mark & Mryna ready to go..

Here is Joe & Sherri ready to head out.. I think they went with the El Mejicano group..

Others are waiting for other members to get ready to leave..Actually, I think they were waiting for me to get out of the way & quit with the picture taking, so they could leave..I eventually did and they did.

As members got ready, they pulled out and lined up with whichever group they were going with

As others leave, the group I was with get ready to head to Jefe's..

Last photo of the other group..Eat well, folks...We plan to!!

At Jefe's, the folks arrive. That is Pattie (with back to me), Sissy, Garry, Charles with vest on, Gloria his wife, Myrna & Mark on the bike..

Pattie in the parking lot..

Vicki takes this picture of me & Pattie...

Vicki & Pattie head inside where it is nice & cool..I believe the outside temperature was sitting at 104 degrees.

Inside Jefe's, I make a note of the most popular sign in the business. I think I saw one or two being consumed around the restaurant...

Here is Gregg, Tim & Tammy getting ready to order..

Here are Mark & Myrna, in great spirits, even as hot as it was outside..Myrna works for Hospice of Wichita Falls..

Here is Robert & Tybee at their table behind Tammy & Vicki..

Robert waves as Vicki studies the menu..

Tybee is also in good spirits..She was all smiles 99.9% of the time. Ya gotta love that blue hair..

After eating, just prior to leaving, I request a group shot of the H.O.G. Chapter members that invited me along .Here they are outside. Let's see if I got it right: Left to right with descriptions for those who do not know them: Jim(hands on hips), Robert (blue shirt),Vicki (gray shirt Sunglasses on head), Tybee (blue hair), Rodney (gray beard, gray sleeveless shirt & black doo rag), Rianne (light blue tank top), Mark behind Myrna who has on the pink ball cap, Steve (blue shirt with lettering),Tim who is behind a partially hidden Tammy, Pattie (black Tank top), Greg (6'8" guy ya can't miss) Sissy ( black shirt & cap), Charles (vest with white shirt), Gloria (vest & light blue shirt), Garry aka Ralph (bald & black shirt. Also a Vietnam Vetr) & Lance on the end with the gray shirt & black Vietnam Veteran ball cap.

This will conclude Part II. As stated in Part I, this was my first H.O.G. Chapter meeting and Dinner Run. I was invited by Sissy, Steve, Pattie, Vicki, Rodney, Jim, Lance and a few others, and I really feel honored because, as ya all know, I do not have another Harley yet & am not a H.O.G. member yet. I do not know the majority of members, but little by little, week by week, I will get to know you by name. Thanks again for the invite and I had a good time.
