Our twentieth January meeting at Pappas Bar-B-Q didn't disappoint with over sixty members present and fifty-one motorcycles ridden to the meeting. The beautiful weather with sunny skies and temperatures in the low 70's that we have come to expect at our January meetings contributed to the large turnout.
 
 Our VP, Ed Sass started the meeting at 2pm with the introduction of guests and new members and what bikes they ride. Old business was discussed next along with the extended club event listing that the executive committee made for the entire 2022 year.
 
 Our Treasurer, Jane West mentioned that there are still a few members who need to pay their dues. Enough said.
 
 Our MC, Dennis Tackett announced the passing of our dear friend James (Bevo) Bowen.  Bev as most of us knew him was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer years ago. Bev fought it and about two years ago the doctors thought he had defeated the disease. Tragically, it recently returned and he passed away on Thursday, Jan. 27th. Dennis asked to raise a glass in remembrance of Bev.
 
Stanley Miller mentioned that the Cherokee Chapter of the AMCA is hosting The Texas Fandango at the Gillespie County Fairground in Fredericksburg the weekend of April 1-3. The Texas Fandango is a vintage swap meet, vintage bike show, with vintage races all rolled into one. Members of the Cherokee Chapter will also be staying in Kerrville for a few days afterwards and NTNOA members are invited.
 
 The last order of business was the 50/50 drawing which was won by Mike Ross. The meeting was adjourned but the socializing continued. Our next meeting is at Audrey Menarik's Moto Liberty on February 27th.
