50/50 Tickets The Chapter receives no money from the national business office so, to help the Chapter pay it's expenses, we sell tickets during the get-togethers. A ticket is drawn and we give away half of the money from the ticket sale proceeds, hence 50/50. This is a voluntary donation and you are not obligated to purchase the tickets.
 
Chapter Rides Most Chapters have scheduled rides. These rides leave from a designated location or ride point. The time of departure varies, so make sure to read your Chapter newsletter or ask the Chapter Director who will be more than happy to assist you. If you have any special roads and/or parks, that you would like to share, make sure to let the CD know. Many of these rides will start from early to mid morning and run until early evening. Sometimes overnights might be a factor for a longer trip. All activities are discussed with the chapter staff so be ready with your input to the CD, Assistant CD or staff.
 
Gatherings Once a month we will have a Gathering. This gathering can include speakers, videos, ride schedule planning and safety information, and of course can include a MEAL (and probably does) with plenty of socializing. These gatherings are not business meetings. GWRRA does not operate in a club format. There is no voting, minutes or Treasurer's report. Decisions regarding the Chapter are made by the Chapter Director who is appointed by the District Director. The CD does, however, get input from Chapter staff and participants regarding events which are of interest to the Chapter.
