Subject: WOHVA to host breakfast with Greg Mumm
Greg Mumm, (Executive Director, BlueRibbon Coalition) will be meeting with motorized trail riding enthusiasts on Sunday, August 19th at the Café Manoomin in the Mole Lake Lodge & Casino. The breakfast meeting is hosted by the Wisconsin Off-Highway Vehicle Association (WOHVA) and is part of Mumm’s “Turn the Tide” in 2012 tour. This is your invitation to attend! The BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC) is the leading national coalition of organizations, businesses and individuals providing leadership in responsible use and promoting balanced resource conservation. The BRC is recognized by the general public, the media, and elected officials as the leader in promoting common sense and an equitable approach to recreation and access issues. Mumm stated, “I am tired of what is happening to recreational access, so I'm upping the game on what to do about it. I am getting on my dualsport motorcycle and taking a ride around the country to rally recreation's grassroots. It's a long ride "around" the good ol' USA and a big personal investment, but this is not about me—it's more about you and what you have to say. It's about the future of recreation on public lands and waters. I am going to meet with as many grassroots recreation enthusiasts, leaders, and organizations as I can. I want to hear all perspectives. At the end of my ride I am going to take the messages and concerns that you provide me to Washington, DC, and deliver them with those who can and should be doing something about them.” This is your opportunity to tell Greg what you expect from the BRC. This year, the BRC is celebrating its 25 year history as a national recreational advocacy organization. What they have accomplished in that quarter of a century has been remarkable. What the BRC hears back from you will help define their mission going forward and ensure that they are fulfilling your expectations. Motorized trail enthusiasts and local business owners are encouraged to participate in the breakfast event. Greg will be at the Café Manoomin on Sunday (August 19th) at 10:30. Simply join us for breakfast (the Café Manoomin offers an extensive breakfast menu). While there you’ll have the opportunity to meet Greg and share your thoughts and ideas (pertaining to motorized recreation issues) with him. Whether you ride your bike or drive your car or off-road rig doesn't matter. It isn't about the vehicle, it's about the message. The continued closure of public lands to the public is an erosion of our rights and privileges as citizens. Outdoor recreation is a $646 billion dollar a year industry that provides jobs and revenue to rural and suburban American communities. There are over 50 million Americans who enjoy Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) recreation and you’re one of them! In this election year, the issues facing OHV enthusiasts and small town America need to be brought to the attention of our elected leaders. This is your chance to impact the message that Mumm will deliver in Washington, DC at the end of his “Turn the Tide” in 2012 tour. Please join WOHVA and Greg on August 19th! See ya at Mole Lake! WOHVA is a non-profit, service organization which focuses on education to promote responsible and safe Off-Highway Vehicle recreation throughout Wisconsin.
