Merry Christmas!

URGENT: Dec. prayer gathering cancelled

Hi All,

Daniel and I have talked it over. It sounds like a lot of people won't be
able to make it out on the 22nd, so we're going to go ahead and cancel for
this month, but ask that everyone will set some time aside when your
schedule permits to spend time in prayer for the CMA needs/praises. Look for
an email from me with a reminder of the prayer needs that were shared on
Saturday and over the course of the month (I have it saved on my computer at
work, so can't send it out any earlier than tomorrow, 12/22).

Best wishes for a peaceful time with loved ones,

Robbie & Dan

Report: Pro Caliber Show and Shine

Star Touring put together it's first Show and Shine at Pro Caliber this last Saturday and they did an excellent job!  The event was held to benefit the charity, Bridge the Gap, which provides products and services for teenagers, an often overlooked group with many needs.  They raised approximately $1,500.00.  There were 13 vendor booths set up.  Carl was there bright and early with our CMA booth and Cliff and I helped to set it up.  We were there all day with many CMA members stopping in to enjoy the show and say hello.  We distributed free ice water, (it was REALLLLLY hot, our booth was in the sun all day), CMA bike cleaning cloths, and motorcycle Bibles.  Several riders expressed an interest in joining our chapter.  Cliff and I tried to help out the other vendors and people running the show whenever we saw a need.  There was a bike show with first and second place trophies, free barbecue lunch provided by Pro Caliber, and at least 50 great raffle prizes.  The highlight of the day was the 50/50 drawing.  The total was $1,500.00 so the winner would take home $750.00.  The gentleman who won, I didn't get his name, donated all but $100.00 back to Bridge the Gap.  It was a really well run, well done, enjoyable event.  Hopefully, they will do it again next year.

We will be visiting 6 major fire stations around the county and making a presentation to each fire station to thank them for their service.

Prayer Ride 9:00 am Aug 8,

This is a ride that we would like for all to participate in.   Love & Blessings Carl & Sheila Sheila, I attached the flier and put info in the email also.  There are a few details that I did not put on the flier.  The towns we are going to are Camas, Battle Ground, LaCenter, Ridgefield, and Vancouver in that order.  We have a route that goes though the back roads avoiding traffic, traffic lights where possible and providing a nicer ride.  We plan on doing the speed limit because of safety reasons.  We will have designated some one to lead the prayer at each location so that we can control the time.  We have allowed 15 minutes max at each location.  If we have everyone pray at each location it could easily go much longer.  The ride time is about 2.5 hours.  That should answer most of the questions you might get.  Talk to you later.  Oh, one more thing we have changed our name to CrossPointe Riders because of conflicts with another group. In His service Doug and

Leona
