I want to thank all the volunteers that helped put on Too Broke. Too Broke was bigger and better this year and you made it happen. I know all of you worked your butts off and it paid off. Sometimes you don’t get the credit that is due, but your work is appreciated. We still need more volunteers so that everybody has a chance to enjoy themselves. I especially want to thank Paul and Singer for filling in at the last minute. You guys did a great job. I hope you will be available next year.

I also want to thank everybody that showed up and all those that participated in the games and events. I hope everybody had a good time. The vendors did their share too. They had a good selection of goods and services. The staff at Mormon Lake Lodge was very helpful too, I hope I didn’t forget anyone. Thanks to all of you for your help and support. See you again next year.

ABATE of Arizona will be having elections in November for the Board of Directors and all chapter officers. If you want to help support ABATE and your right to ride free, step forward. This is your chance to make a difference. I know that in these turbulent times, it’s hard, but the people in high places never stop trying to infringe on your rights, because according to them, they know best. To protect your rights, you have to step forward. By becoming a voice with all the other voices, we will be heard. So check with your local ABATE chapter and see where you can help. Volunteer for a chapter office, it doesn’t take that much time out of your life. But the knowledge and the rewards you get can be priceless. Riding free is a right; protect it.

Know Your Rights, Ride Free
