A.B.A.T.E. of MN Board of Directors Meeting

The July, 2009, A.B.A.T.E. of Minnesota Board of Directors meeting was originally scheduled to be held in Two Harbors, MN in conjunction with the Wolfs Head Rally. With the cancellation of the Wolfs Head Rally, a new location needed to be found. Traditionally the July Board meeting has been a low cost, ride in meeting. And in keeping with this theme, the Jack Pine Riders Chapter, in coordination with the chapters in A.B.A.T.E. of Minnesota's North East District, will be hosting the July BOD in conjunction with their fundraiser the second weekend of July, 2009 (July 11th). They have room for all campers and motor homes and are offering excellent food, beverage, and hospitality for the entire weekend. The meetings will take place next door (easy walk) from the fundraiser grounds under a large tent. The location and directions are as follows:

Dronen Farm, Finlayson, MN. From the Interstate 35 Banning Junction exit, (exit 195) go west 1/2 mile to Old Hwy. 61, then go north 1/2 mile to Leese Rd. and watch for signs. For more information, call Bill @ 320-629-3498 or Dave @ 320-630-8003.
