Border Riders Motorcycle Club reflects on 2007
On Saturday, February 16, 2008, about 50 members and guests of the Border Riders Motorcycle Club remembered the year 2007 during the 38th Annual Anniversary Banquet. Eight of nine new members received their Colours. Those who had been members for 5, 10, and 15 years were honored. The high mileage awards were announced. And, as always, the highlight of the evening was the premiere of the retrospective video for the year just finished.

The idea of finding brotherhood while riding was in the title of the 2007 video, They Came to Ride and Found Brothers. As usual, it was a great hit when it was shown for the first time. The annual video is compiled from pictures and video shot by members and guests during the previous year. This material was edited into an entertaining review of the previous year.

Member Scott S. was awarded the high mileage award for 2007. It is no wonder, considering the stories he has for his trips. The first, second, and third runner-ups where announced, as well.

This year's banquet was at the Greenwood Masonic Temple hall in Seattle, Washington. Catering for the evening was by Uncle Roy Chase, with the help of his minions and member Daniel B. Piano music during dinner was provided by Don V., partner of member Bob C.

The 2007 officers received a round of applause for work well done. Two officers are stepping down for 2008, Road Captain Bill Bender and Secretary J.J. Harper. Jack Osterberg becomes the new secretary, a role he assisted J.J. with during 2007. Past President Deb Odenrider returns to the Club Executive as Road Captain in 2008. Officially, the new officers take their position at the March 2008 meeting, but Deb is already working hard on the Victoria Day Weekend Run.

The March and April 2008 meetings for the Border Riders are preparation for the 39th Annual Victoria Day Weekend Run, the kick-off for the new riding season. It is always held the weekend of annual celebration of the Queen's Birthday in the Wenatchee National Forest in Washington. This year the dates are Friday, May 16, through Monday, May 19. Watch the Border Riders website for information on the call to "bring me men to match my mountains."

Also watch the Border Riders website for information on upcoming meet and greets and day rides.
