1. Welcome to the
Great South Chapter #2505
Weekly 411 January 16 2011
Annual Membership Renewal
Remember you have to renew your HOG chapter membership annually and it is that time
of the year. You can find the applications on the website under member menu in public
documents. Please fill out the form and return to either Jeff Flinn, Membership Director
or leave at the front desk at the dealership with a check to Great South HOG Chapter or
cash $20 per member. Questions can be addressed to Jeff Flinn at
membership@greatsouthhog.com .
This is also a good time to ensure your National HOG membership is current. Remember
your chapter membership will be terminated if you fall out of tolerance on your National
membership (as outlined in the Annual Charter for HOG chapters; Article VI,
Membership). You can check by going to the National HOG website at www.harley-
davidson.com/wcm/Content/Pages/HOG/HOG.jsp.

2. Grillers Needed
Fellow GS HOG members!! As always grillers are
needed to cook the burgers and franks for the
dealership. Don’t let the weather deter you from earning
those chromed points. Plus, this is an excellent
opportunity to meet new friends and get acquainted
with old ones and recruit new members for GS HOG.
Come out and support Great South Harley by donating 3
hours of your time any Saturday to grill hot dogs and
burgers. Let Great South Harley know especially Gene
and Kevin that we appreciate how much they support the HOG chapter. I know we all
enjoy our GS HOG discounts and having use of the HOG Pen. This opportunity is
available every Saturday from noon to 3 PM. If you can spare a few hours on Saturday
please contact Tim Summers at activities@greatsouthhog.com and let him know you are
willing to help out. Your support is greatly appreciated!
DINNER RIDE -- GSHD (C) – EVERY THURSDAY,
AT 6:30 PM
Meet at the Hog Pen to plan and decide on a dinner destination.
These are usually very easy and short rides to a local eatery. The
camaraderie is great and it is a good time for new members to
meet others in the chapter. This our most popular ride for a
Thursday night. 1-2 pigs
SAFETY TIP -- SAFETY OFFICER, Josh Mazzucco
If your shadow is directly in front of you, the longer it is, the harder it is for oncoming
traffic to see you
