Holiday Party Reminder:
The annual club Holiday Party is this Saturday, December 3rd at Pericos on Sonterra (same as last year). Social time will be from 5:30 to 6:00 followed by a fajita buffet and our program.  We always have a great time, so please plan on attending. 
There is a $10 per person charge which covers about half the cost of the dinner so come on out and enjoy an evening with your friends and fellow members. Significant others are welcome as always.

Club Officer Elections and By-law Amendment
For those members attending the party and who have not voted online, we will have paper ballots you can use. The election results will be announced at the party.

Last Minute Stocking Stuffers:
Ya know how family members are always bugging you for gift ideas? Who wouldn’t appreciate one of our stylish and colorful new club jerseys? We have plenty in stock, as well as a few vintage jerseys left. Whenever I see one of the older yellow SAW jerseys, I wish I could still get one of those. Please spare yourselves my anguish and get one of the Texas flag jerseys while you still can.

December is typically a hard month to get the rides in, what with all the holiday activities and often the weather is kinda dicey. Nonetheless we have a mostly full slate of club rides (none on Christmas weekend) so come out and burn off the effects of all those holiday parties - you know you need to.

2016 has been a great year for the club and we’re looking forward to a fantastic 2017. After the first of the year we’ll start planning activities and if you have suggestions for a special or new ride or any other idea for a fun activity, please let us know.

I hope you all have a wonder holiday season. Share time and make lots of wonderful memories with loved ones and friends.
