Hey everyone out there in CMRO land. Hope you are all doing well. things are still plugging along. I am in the process of making arrangements for Dale Williams and myself to attend the Meeting of the Minds in Sept. This is a really informative weekend that is put on by the Motorcycle Riders Foundation. Dale and I will be splitting up our time and attending separate seminars so that we can bring as much information back to the region coordinators as possible. This is also a great opportunity for us to meet and be met by board members from SMRO's all around the county and trade ideas. Region 1 has graciously offered to pay for the conference cost which will be $140.00 for the two of us. The rest of our travel and hotel expenses will be covered by the state legislative fund.
    Dale and I will be involved via conference call in the next ROW meeting on August 13th where the group will continue to plan our strategy to get this ROW bill passed into law. Senator Tim Grendell has pledged his support of this bill. He is the chair of the Criminal Justice Committee where this bill resides on the Senate side SB158. He has promised to schedule a hearing for the bill in mid to late September. We are still looking for people whose lives have been impacted by Right of Way Violations to testify before the committee either in person or by written testimony. You can contact me at the state office if you think you might be a candidate for testimony. That number is 800-964-2676.
