<div class="yiv4482063823MsoNormal">This has been a difficult year. My heart goes out to all that
have suffered the loss of family and friends. Though restrictive guidelines are
being relaxed all over, obviously we must still be cautious as the virus has
not yet been defeated. </div>

<div class="yiv4482063823MsoNormal">As spring has sprung, its
time again to get out riding, and working together to make the Rally in the
Catskills a reality in 2022. I’m sticking to the traditional mid July dates.
Since we had planned on 5 days, in 2020, I’m saying M-F July 11-15, 2022. I will be giving the
Blackthorne a call soon just touch base. </div>
<div class="yiv4482063823MsoNormal"><br>
</div>
<div class="yiv4482063823MsoNormal"><span style="color:#222222;">In the
next few weeks, I will start to post announcements for meetings, rides, and combinations
of the two so we can get back on track, thinking and planning for the Rally in
2022. As you might expect, most of this riding will be in the Catskill area. I
would like to see as many people as possible participating in the Rally prep to
make it a very memorable event after we had to cancel 2020. I’d like to get
together as much as possible this year. </span></div>

<div class="yiv4482063823MsoNormal"><span style="color:#222222;">The
2021 INOA Rally Committee in Lumby, B.C. is still waiting to see which
guidelines are going to be in effect. It may not be the kind of INOA Rally we
are used to having. It may be much smaller, if it can be held at all. Canada’s
vaccine roll out has be slower than that of the U.S., so their guidelines may
not be relaxed at the same rate the U.S. guidelines. </span></div>

attaching flyers from Suzi for events in Michigan on Sunday May 2<sup>nd</sup>

<div class="yiv4482063823MsoNormal"><span style="color:#222222;">I
haven’t put together the calendar of events that I usually have out early in
the year, as there’s just been so much uncertainty, and so many other things to
deal with. I’ll get to that soon, once I do some research and see what is going
to be held, and what restrictions apply. There may be many cancellations as
these events always draw big crowds which are necessary to cover expenses
incurred. </span></div>
