News from Chapter “J”
From Tom
Chapter J Director
As I write this I’m wondering, when will be the next time
I get to go for a motorcycle ride? Yes, Chief Yellow
Wing has been pushed to the back of the garage with
no current plans for a ride until next spring. But…that
doesn’t mean I won’t get him out for an impromptu ride
between now and then. As you all know, our Michigan
winters allow for several opportunities for a day trip.
So if you see a chance, give me a call, drop a line or
whatever you need to do and I’ll do the same for you!
The “off season” as I call it still offers several opportunities for fun, knowledge and safety with our
friends. Keep your eye on the calendar and your 4
wheeler ready as we have a lot of calendar left. I urge
you all to get out and get involved in some of our upcoming activities, especially those noted below.
Plaque chasers: any interest in leading the charge?? This
is always a fun event but we need someone to step up and
lead the way for us, any takers?? Let Gary or I know.
There’s still a lot more fun coming our way, keep an eye on
the calendar and your wheels ready to roll!!
Ride Safe. Ride Often.

Christmas Parade: yes we have registered for the
parade but…..we need help with the float. Please
touch base with Gary or I if you like to help out or if you
have a great idea for our float. Personally, I thought
the “5 YELLOW WINGS” had a good sound to it. The
twelve days of Christmas seems to be the direction for
our theme so put your thinking hats on everyone and
let’s have some fun here in Jacktown!
CMA Thanksgiving Dinner: this is a great event and
hats off the CMA for the work they do in putting this on.
Once again, we have sponsored the meal and hopefully, once again, we can be one of the largest groups
in attendance. Bring your friends, family and co-riders
out for a great meal and some fellowship with our
neighboring MC’s.
Chapter J Christmas Party: once again this promises
to be a great time. So please plan on attending. We
will have members of our State Staff on hand to conduct a little swearing in ceremony for some of our incoming chapter staff as well as the traditional festivities. If you haven’t been able to attend a chapter event
in a while, this is a good one to get back into the swing
of things. Did I say swing?? See Wingless Weekend
below.
Wingless Weekend: I know it seems a little early to
talk of such things but it will be here sooner than you
think. Will Chapter J have a skit?? Any ideas?? Let
Gary or I know as we need to start this one right away
gang.

From Gary and Carol
Chapter J Assist Directors &
2014 Michigan District C.O.Y.
My first thoughts right now are of how blessed we all are to
be able to ride our bikes/trikes. We travel long distances
and around town. We travel in great weather and sometimes not so great. We travel alone, with another couple or
in a group. We have FUN riding. It is simply a joy to be
able to ride. And as our weather is very soon making it
more difficult to be on 2 or 3 wheels, we'll simply change to
riding in our 4 wheeled vehicles and continue to go places
and have FUN together. That's a big part of what our
G.W.R.R.A. family is all about. Choose to participate and
choose to have fun!!
We had hoped to have others along for the trip to
Wings Over the Smokies in Cherokee, North Carolina, but
it didn't work out that way. Since we were alone, we ended
up making a nine day trip out of it. We had the fun of taking roads that we'd never been on before just because we
could! We only went a little over 1600 miles, but we had
fun zig-zagging across the states.
We had a good time at Wings. Spent some time with
the Region N Directors, Alan and Carolyn Little. If you
don't remember me mentioning them last month, they were
one set of our judges at Region D. They made us feel very
(Continued on page 6)

Cascade Wings
welcome as we sat together and talked. We also visited
a lot of vendors and spent a little money. A little side
story to that. I bought a set of safety green gloves on
Saturday from a dealer who carried OSI items. I didn't
even wear them until Sunday. By Monday, they had
come apart at the seam. Fixable, yes, but not the
point. I contacted the vendor, who then sent me to
OSI. I talked with the OSI owner. I told him I could sew
them, but I wanted him to know about them. He was so
nice. Two days later, I had a new set of gloves delivered to our home. He said keep the other pair as
backup, he didn't want them back. As I said, very nice.
We came home just in time for our Annual Appreciation
Dinner. What a great night! We really appreciate everything Cheryl Fetterman did to arrange the evening. It
was fun just spending relaxing time with everyone and
the meal was great.
When it comes to appreciating people, Chapter J
has a long list. Do you realize that list includes YOU? If
it weren't for you, Chapter J would possibly not exist. It
takes every one of us to make up this chapter family. Oh, some of us have titles, but they mean nothing if
it weren't for everyone involved with the chapter. Your
involvement could range from occasionally attending a
gathering or ride, to being the Chapter Director, and
everything in between. YOU are what makes Chapter J
a reality, and whether or not you attended the dinner,
you are appreciated!!!!
And speaking of appreciated people, we would like
to share our appreciation of Jim and Kathy Herron for all
their work as our Rider Educator. Jim has done an exceptional job keeping us informed on Rider Safety. As
you probably know, Jim and Kathy have bought a
condo in Grand Rapids to be closer to their children and
grandchildren. They will be greatly missed by everyone. We'll be glad for those times we get to see them,
and wish them well on this new phase of their life.
For all those who attended Gord and Mona's bonfire, I'm sure you had a great time. It was a cool evening, but hey, with that 'little' bonfire, we all kept
toasty! There were a few who decided to dress up,
too. Very creative to say the least. We met some of
Gord and Mona's family and some folks from Chapter
W2 (Former A-2). It's always nice to meet new
folks. The food was great. The potluck items everyone
brought greatly complimented the hamburgers and
brats that Jan not only brought, but cooked as well. By
the way, if you've not been to their home, the ride up
their drive is an adventure! Just right for Gold Wingers...in vehicles!
The 18th several braved the cold weather as we
went to Meckley's Flavor Fruit Farm. Some braver than
others. (I admit to not being brave and riding in the
truck. Maybe someday we'll have heated gear.) There
were 4 bikes, 2 trikes and 2 cars as we left. One trike
left us along the way, and one car joined us. It was
amazing how the Fetterman's just happened to be coming down Jefferson road at the same time we were turning on to it! It was cold, and misty off and on, but we all
still had fun. Good donuts and other eats, along with
warm cider. Thanks for choosing to participate. And
thanks to Louie for a beautiful ride!
Since member participation is so important, we'd like
to bring up another way for you to possibly be involved. As mentioned above, Jim will no longer be our
Rider Educator. If this is something that you feel you
might be interested in, please feel free to speak with
us. We'll be happy to share just what that encompasses,
and consider you for that position if you are interested.
I said it last month, I'll say it again here, and who
knows, probably in the future as well...We encourage you
to be involved and participate at the level you feel good
about. Whether you hold a 'position' or not, this is your
chapter. We all have a part in the function of Chapter
J. And again, what's the first part of function--it's
FUN! We're here to ride, ride safe and have fun. So
thank you for your participation. We all look forward to
more of it!
Be blessed,

From Gary and Carol
2014 Michigan District C.O.Y.
The following is our District C.O.Y. article for the month.
Who can raise their hand to the fact that habits can be
hard to break? Are you with me on this? Well, we are
trying to break one and not doing a very good job at it so
far. Hopefully with everyone's help, we, and you, will get
better.
It's a simple thing really. When we refer to the Couple
of the Year, we very often say COY. We say it as a word,
not an acronym. Most of us say G.W.R.R.A. instead of
Gold Wing Road Riders Association, and for the most part,
that's fine because it is an acronym. (Just try saying
GWRRA as a word--it sounds pretty funny, actually.)
But COY as a word is actually a fish. Well, that's not
exactly true. The spelling is wrong as the fish are known
as KOI. And KOI are not individual fish, but a group of fish
that resemble either the carp or goldfish family. Since the
word sounds the same, some have made that connection,
and I have heard a few people joke about us being 'fish,'
but I never really thought too much about the image. But
others have, and the more I think about it, the more sense
it makes.
The reason I bring this up is that we were asked at
Region D by our National Directors, Ray and Sandy Garris, if we would help change the usage of COY, and instead say C.O.Y. if we are wanting to shorten Couple of
the Year. When you think about who we are referring to
(Continued on page 7)
6
Cascade Wings
when we use the word COY, that Couple of the Year is
a deserving couple, and should be referred to in a respectful way.
Now truthfully, I have never felt that it was in any
way derogatory to be called the Chapter or District
COY. It is a habit we all have. A word we all use. But
since we've been asked, why not try and make the
change. We make the change to C.O.Y. and those who
come into G.W.R.R.A. in the future will think nothing of
it because that is how they will know it. Simple as
that. On a fun note, KOI may be carp, but there was a
group that sold for $60,000 earlier this year!
Moving on...we had a blast traveling to, attending,
and zig-zagging home and taking our time when we
went to Wings Over the Smokies in Cherokee, North
Carolina. We were welcomed by their District C.O.Y.,
District Director and Region Directors, Alan and Carolyn
Little. You may remember that the Little's were one set
of our judges at Region D. They are an amazing couple
and we had a very nice time with them.
On the 11th we ventured out early (earlier than we
needed thanks to a GPS that wasn't set for the fastest
way--the shorter way is not necessarily the fastest!) Thanks once again for Louie meeting us so early,
and pointing out the difference on the GPS, and attending the S2 Gathering with us. We were there early
enough to have our breakfast finished and greet all their
members as they arrived! Even though we had eaten
before they arrived, the bills all came out pretty much
the same time. What a nice surprise for us when S2
paid for our breakfast! They even picked up Louie's
tab! We appreciated that very much. We missed seeing their C.O.Y., Eddie and Charlene, as they were on a
cruise! Sad for us, not for them! But it was a good
gathering and a nice ride (in the truck--it was only 29
when we left home) and a great way to begin the
day. We ended the day at Gord and Mona's for the
bonfire and dinner. Lot's of fun!
We also attended a State Staff meeting to prepare
for the upcoming Fall State Officer's meeting in Bay City
on November 8th. Your State Staff has a lot of fun
when they get together, and good food, too. Everyone
brought a passing dish and they grilled burgers and
brats. (Lori, once again, your banana bread bars were
a hit!) This will be Bob and Kim's first State Officer's
meeting that they will be in charge of. Trusting that
Chapter J staff will be in attendance to learn and share
all they can. The meetings begin at 9:00 a.m. and will
end at 4:00 p.m. (if not before).
As your District C.O.Y. we are still working on visiting other chapters. We're also blessed to be a part of
the Chapter J family!
Be blessed,
Gary and Carol Williams

From Jeff and Terri
Chapter J Assist Directors &
2014 Chapter J C.O.Y
First off, thanks to Gord and Mona for hosting a fall bonfire/cookout at their home. We think it was Gord’s way of
clearing out old pallets around the yard. Or maybe it was
Mona’s. There were some pretty good flames and enough
heat for everyone to keep moving farther back in the circle.
And let’s not forget to thank Jan for the delicious hamburgers and brats on the grill. Jan always comes through with
plenty of food.
Now let’s gear up for Chapter J’s first Christmas Parade
adventure. This year’s theme for Jackson’s parade is “The
Twelve Days of Christmas”. Get your thinking caps on for
ideas to help make this event a night to remember. We are
providing the trailer for the float but need bikes to ride
alongside if the snow isn’t too deep. If anyone has an idea
to present please pass on to any staff member. Time is of
the essence since the parade is Friday November 21st. So,
come help out if you can. Watch for more info on dates/
times for float assembly parties.
Then the next evening is CMA’s (Christian Motorcycle
Association) annual Family Thanksgiving Dinner. This is
an event NOT to miss. Located at the First Church of the
Nazarene at 3905 Clinton Rd, Jackson, MI, CMA puts on
an unbelievable feast. Dinner starts at 5pm but it’s a good
idea to get there a little early. Donations of unwrapped
toys or games for children ages 7-13 are collected and delivered to the Youth Haven Ranch for use during their winter retreats. Everyone is welcome to participate in the toy
donation, but not required! As a group, for members that
have them, wear your safety green Chapter shirts so we all
stand out and don’t get lost (ha ha).
Make sure you mark your calendar for Chapter J’s
Christmas Party, Friday evening December 5th at the Cascades Wesleyan Church, same location as our Chapter
meetings. Social hour starts at 6pm with dinner at 7pm.
Our Christmas party this year is a potluck. There is a
signup sheet for food items that should be passed around
at November’s Chapter meeting. Get your name on the list
and come for a great time! You should really do the gift
exchange because Jeff still carries around his jack knife he
received at the party two years ago. Thanks Dale!
Keep in mind Chapter Q’s Christmas Party at the Soo.
The annual event is Saturday December 13th in Sault Saint
Marie, Michigan. Contact Frank King at Chapter Q for dinner ticket availability.
With so many family events coming up with the holidays
our calendar winds down a bit. But no doubt things will
start to pick up again in January and February.
Enjoy the rest of our Fall events and have a good deer
season! May “The Big One” walk in front of you…so don’t
take a nap out there!
Thanks again for everyone’s hard work over the past year!

done so I won’t be doing everything at the last minute.
