Holiday Party and 2022 Wrap up
Wow…what an ending to a very surprising, but great year!!!
For the year we had 67 riders/passengers that rode a grand total of 61,269 miles. I never thought that we would’ve hit that miles with all of the reschedules and changes in our lives. All we can do is hope we reach those numbers again for the 2023 Season, or maybe surpass them.
During our Holiday Party we acknowledged all of our o committed riders who accumulated mileage on chapter sponsored rides. This year we had:
12 riders make the 1,000 mile mark
5 riders that rode over 2,000 miles
3 committed members who rode over 3,000 miles
2 ultra committed riders with over 4,000 miles!
A Big Congratulations goes out to Jerry D’Antonio for receiving our Top Mileage Rider of 2022!

Please join me in congratulating Rick Kendall as our 2022 Rider of the Year! Rick exemplified the spirit of our chapter, while just missing out as the top rider of the year. Congratulations Rick, well deserved!
Rick Kendall - 2022 IMRG Chapter 1963 Rider of the Year
We recognized the contributions of all of our officers over this past year. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to a friendly face…Wanda Carlisle. Due to circumstances beyond her control, she is stepping down as President (aka Boss Lady) from the group. She will be missed, but I have an idea she is not going too far. We wish her the best in all her endeavors and hope she continues to ride as much as she can next season.
President Wanda Carlisle (inset) passes the hat to New President Tom Johnson. As you can see we are in good hands.
We also elected new officers for the 2023 Season annnnnd heeeerrrrre they are……
Tom Johnson—President/Co Ride Captain
John Bread—Vice President
Maria Weisgarber—Membership Director
Kevin Irwin—Webmaster
Brock Sloan—Safety/Co Ride Captain
Chris Weisgarber—Social Media Director
I am very excited to have these officers working with me to make this our best year ever!!!!!
So it is with a sad heart that I say goodbye……for now……till when the new ride season starts. Hope you all have a wonderful Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!! See you all in the new year!!
Tom Johnson
IMRG#1963 President
