June Adopt-A-Highway
We had another successful clean up on June 13. Clean up only took one hour and then we had some great chicken and broccoli casserole and barbecued ham sandwiches to eat afterward. And of course
there were those great pies for dessert. Maitland Lane Free Methodist Church has been providing the workers with great meals after each clean up since last year. The food alone is with coming and helping out. Plus you get the satisfaction of knowing that
you are helping your community and keeping the roads safer for motorcyclists. It is amazing how much stuff you find along the side of the road, many of which can become dangerous projectiles when a vehicle runs over them. If you have not joined us for these
clean ups you should join us for our next scheduled one in August. Hope to see you there, and thank you to those who have participated.

2009 Adopt-A-Highway Clean Ups
Well we had another successful year of road cleaning. Our Chapter has been actively cleaning a stretch of road that we adopted along Route 18 in
New Castle, Pennsylvania. We had three days throughout 2009 on which we cleaned up all kinds of debris and we did it in all types of weather. Plus we have been blessed with the kindness of the Maitland Lane Free
Methodist Church whose members provided our members with great food to eat after each clean up. We really appreciate their offer and the few extra hands they also provided to help with the road side cleaning.
This activity is a very worthwhile cause as it makes our roads safer for all motorists and provides our Chapter with an opportunity to be involved in our community. Not to mention it gets our name permanently posted on
the Penn DOT Adopt A Highway signs for all to see every day of the year. Be sure to check out the pictures on our picture page.

Thunder In The Burg - July 2009
We had another fun time at the annual Thunder In The Burg even though the weather did not cooperate with us at all.
Those who braved the rain still had a lot of fun listening to the bands, dunking those in the dunking booth, getting massages, having photos of their bikes professionally taken,
getting airbrushed items, and eating great food. If you missed it come next year when we hope the weather will be alot better. Check out our pictures to see the fun.

Proclamation Run - May, 2009
Our Annual Proclamation Run was a success and for once the rain held off. We left from the Burg Bar in West Pittsburg, PA and were escorted by
the New Castle Police Department to the Lawrence County Courthouse. After arriving Commissioner DeBlasio presented our Chapter with a declaration from the Lawrence County Commissioners declaring May as Motorcycle Safety Month in Lawrence County.
Afterward, some of us rode on out to the Garden Gate for a buffet they were kind enought to set up for our group and had good food and conversation. We chose the Garden Gate as they are a supporter of A.B.A.T.E. Remember to always support those
who support us. Be sure to

Collection For Our Veterans
Our Chapter is collecting items to give to our veterans in the
Butler Veterans Hospital. We are collecting the items at our
monthly
Chapter meetings and the items are being delivered and dispersed to our veterans as needed. Examples of items to donate are shampoo, soap, disposable razors, socks,
sweatpants, microwave popcorn, magazines (hunting, fishing, motorcycle, etc.), books, and pajamas. Many of these veterans do not have family to provide these types of items to them
so let's show them our appreciation for their service to our country and their willingness to fight for our freedom by providing these items to them. Also, we will be going down to visit
with the veterans on February 15, 2009. Please check back for more details and click the button below for the list of items we are collecting.

Adopt A Highway Clean Up
Sept. 14, 2008
Our members again put on the gloves, grabbed the garbage bags, and headed out to clean our designated
stretch of roadway on Wilmington Road (State Route 18) from Clen Moore Blvd. to Maitland Lane on September 14, 2008. We had beautiful weather and again managed to do
the job in just one hour. We even had a contest for finding the most unique item. Although we are not sure who the winner was, among the unique items found were
winter ear muffs, a fake finger nail painted bright pink, and silverware. Dixie even found some money. Thanks to all who helped and we hope to see the rest of you
at the next clean up in November.
