Wing Ding 30
Officer Preregistration Incentives
With the holidays behind us, and warm weather ahead of
us, we are getting geared up for Wing Ding
30! We’re excited to present to you, the Officers, a
great incentive program to get Members preregistered for Wing Ding 30, and make
it cheaper for your staff Members to attend as well.
Preregister at least ten Members for Wing Ding 30, and
receive $5 off the registration fee for the Officer and the delegates. Not only
will everyone receive the $5 discount, but also by preregistering, all
registrants will automatically be entered in the drawing for one of our
fantastic Preregistration Prizes. First prize is a California Sidecar Trailer.
Second prize is a 3-IN-1 Jacket, and Third prize is a Free Wing Ding
Registration for Two. There will also be a drawing held each month, beginning
in April, for one of the following prizes: Two Wing Ding T-shirts, a 25% off
certificate to the GWRRA Goodie Booth, and a 5-night stay at the Holiday Inn
I-85 for two people. Let’s get the word out, and let everyone know about this
great opportunity for discounts and prizes!
Any Officer of GWRRA is eligible to participate. All
applications, minimum of ten delegates, must be
attached together to be eligible for the discount.
Please submit only one application per household, and attach the payment (check
or credit card) to each application separately. The deadline for this program
is May 14, 2008. Click on the link to fill out the preregistration application.
For more information call Melissa Eason, Executive Director 800-843-9460 or
623-581-2500 ext. 212.
GOLDWING ROAD RIDERS ASSOCIATION
2008 ILLINOIS DISTRCT RALLY
AUGUST 1st
and 2nd
Oakley-Lindsey Civic Center
Quincy, IL
PROGRESS UPDATE # 1
Welcome to the first of what we hope to be several
updates on the progression of planning and events for the up coming Illinois
District Rally. Using the well established method of e-mail we hope to keep
GWRRA members in the know of the planning stages of the rally and the events
that they will find when they attend. We hope that you will pass along the
information to those members that do not participate in the electronic world.
As announced at the Winter Warm Up the Illinois
District Rally will be held in Quincy. For those of you from other districts or
other parts of the state Quincy has many things to offer. There are many points
of interest in the area. Some of these include Nauvoo a short ride to the north
which is rich in well known history and to the south is Hannibal, MO which most
people associate with the works of Mark Twain. For those members that like to
put their money where their mouths are a short ride across the Mississippi to
the northwest in LaGrange, MO you can find the Mark Twain Casino. All the areas of interest have many things
to offer visitors. There are many great riding routes two of which we hope to
use as self guided tours.
It is still early in the palnning stages so until more
rally info is available please visit the informational websites at the bottom
of this update.
