I just heard from Siggi that Gray suffered a heart attack after the Rally. Sorry I don’t have specific information, but he is OK. He is being hospitalized in Washington State and should be released tomorrow. He should have his computer and cell phone then if you would like to contact him. I personally plan to drop him an e-mail rather then intrude on the cell phone. Please remember him in your thoughts and prayers. Ken SloughPresident BMWMCC

ICE (in case of emergency) | | Before you head out for parts unknown this summer please remember to enter or update your ICE contact information on your cell phone.

◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ Plan on Redmond! Check out the BMWMOA Rally page for 2010. The rally returns to Redmond, OR! Some of us remember when it was last held in Redmond in 2001, with our own Gray Buckley as rallymaster. It is commonly referred to nationally as one of the best rallies ever, at probably the best site EVER!
This year's rally features our very own Deb Lower as co-chair of the rally. It is certain to be one bang up great rally. If you would like to assist with security at the rally, Security chair Gray Buckley or Brad Bolton would like to hear from you.
Dennis O'Neil will lead a club Ride to Redmond and Return to Top of the Rockies! Think about it...we could easily have the largest club presence at the rally. Look for further discussion and planning to make this our best and largest out of state ride of 2010. It's gonna be Great!!Need a motel room for the Rally? They're gone in Redmond, but there are still some rooms in Bend (15 miles) and some condos at http://www.vrbo.com/ ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊
