I finally attended my first POG meeting on March 5th at the KTM facility in Amherst, OH. I want to thank everyone in attendance for welcoming me and allowing me to sit in such esteemed company. I was able to visit with several members and shared and enjoyed a few great stories as well as seeing up close the commitment that each member has to maintaining the brand awareness and history. Of course, the icing on the cake was sitting across from Mr. Penton, and several other legends were also in attendance. Another highlight was a call from Carl Cranke who, along with all in attendance wished Happy Birthday to Larry Maiers and Bud Green and Happy 60th Wedding Anniversary to Bud and Pat Green! What a fun evening, and no one said anything about me sitting with the Officers and Trustees at the head of the table! Ooops from :)Lary Dunphy
Hi Larry,
I'm glad to hear that you had a good time at our meeting last evening. Our meetings tend to be informal but are well structured to cover all the things that need to be talked about within the amount of time that we have. All of our meetings are open to members and non members who have an interest in dirt bikes. We don't mind anyone sitting next to any of the officers. In fact we kind of hope that someone new will enjoy sitting in the "spot light". We never know when we will need a new "volunteer" to become an officer.
It was our pleasure for you to be with us and thanks for sharing a little bit of your Penton experience.
