President Wally recently received the following e-mail:
Hello Wally,
My name is Eric Isaacsen and I am affiliated with the Michigan Bike Festival, held annually in Grayling in September.
The festival is a celebration of the bicycle and human powered transportation. I would love for some members of your organization to check out the festival. I also invite you to officially attend as the president of the MHPVA , which is a very cool association. I am the recent past president of the Michigan Mountain Biking Association northern chapter.
Please check us out at www.michiganbikefestival.com
If any MHPVA member attends, a brief "how was it" article would be appreciated for the newsletter. If you can e-mail photos, send them directly to webmaster@mhpva.org, and let your editor know you did that.
