It looks like we are finally beating down this pandemic and things just may be starting to come back to normal sometime this summer. With that in mind, I made some phone calls and met with a few restaurant managers over the past few days.
Firstly, I am happy to announce that we have been welcomed back to the Ricky’s Country Restaurant on Boundary Rd. for our regular monthly Sunday morning breakfast, but with a few conditions that I will mention further down. With the reopening of dine-in seating, we are now able to use the meeting room we have been in for the past 6 or 7 years. Our first breakfast meeting will be on Sunday, June 27th. Breakfast will begin at 8:00AM with a short chapter meeting after. After that, breakfast will be held on the third Sunday of every month.
Secondly, we will also be trying out a monthly dinner meeting at the ABC Restaurant on Schoolhouse Rd in Coquitlam. These will be held on the 4th Thursday of every month at 6:00PM beginning on July 22nd.
Now for the conditions:
- The breakfast menu will be a shortened menu
- There will be a minimum 10% gratuity on every bill and the chapter WILL NOT be paying an additional gratuity
- You are not allowed to bring in your own coffee and must order at least one item from the menu that is at least $10.
I am urging every chapter member to put aside your plans for 1 morning or evening a month to come out and get to know your fellow members over a nice breakfast or dinner. Your choice of time and venue.
Coming up on June 13th will be our annual Memorial Ride. This is an annual fundraiser for the chapter. Plans are not currently finalized, but be prepared for a day of riding with maybe a poker hand in play. Registration will be posted on the website and sent out by email reminder.
As always, please ride safe.
