I have waited 3 YEARS to do what I got to do yesterday!!! I went on a ride with 3 of the 4 (yes 4) SIS members from the OKC area !!!!! There were several really cool things that happened on our ride. The Lady who took our first picture (at Pops) gave us back our camera and walked away. She got about 3-4 car lengths away from us, then turned back around and came back over to us. She asked if she could pray with us. So before we ever began our trip, our very first trip too, we held hands around our bikes and prayed. I wish someone would have taken a picture of that!!! While at Pops, I asked Julie if she had met some of the SIS ladies from either Tulsa or Stillwater. She said she had not but was really wanting to. Then when we were in Stroud, we were just getting ready to leave and all these bikers rode up and they were wearing SIS shirts or patches. I had my SIS shirt on so they recognized it too. It was awesome!! And two of the three new OKC members got to meet some of the ladies from the Tulsa chapter. I believe it takes 4 members to become your own chapter. We now have our 4 SIS members in the OKC area!!! And I believer Julie Murray is going to step up and be the person in charge. So Linda, it has been a long time coming, but it is finally here!! And lady, it all started with meeting you in person 3 years ago. Thank you!! Hope we get to ride with you soon, Anne PS- I do not know how to post things to the SIS home page, but this really is a great story of our ride, of the first ride of the OKC Chapter, and of perseverance--it did happen--there is now a chapter near me!!! |
