President’s Message: 

Happy New Year! I hope it’s a  healthy and prosperous one for all of us. As we begin a newyear, I ask that you think about your Chapter andwhat direction you would like to see us take. Eventhough we are primarily a political and safety

organization, the thing that brings us together isour mutual love of motorcycling. And yet, wedon’t seem to be doing any riding as a group.Should we be trying to do poker runs? Maybedinner rides? How about destination rides thatoffer an overnight stay? I’d like to hear what themembership has to say about more riding.

Chapter growth is always an important topic. Eachone of us should try to recruit at least one new

member this new year. It’s the best way to keepthe organization fresh and relevant. If you havenever served as a Chapter officer, please considerrunning for an office or volunteering for a

 position. It’s only a one year commitment and it’sthe best way to spread the work around. It alsoenables fresh ideas to come out from new officers.

Finally, as you’ll read elsewhere in this newsletter,our Chapter’s signature event, the VeteransChristmas Ride, was a resounding success.Hopefully, 2016 will bring another heartwarmingtrip to the Douglas T. Jacobson Veterans Home.

Keep your knees in the breeze,Moe

Chaplain’s Message 

Thinking of the Holidays

and that Perfect Gift? 

Dear Fellow ABATE Members:

Both of us love to ride. And, we ride together as much as possible. Since we startedriding together, two years after our marriage in 1974, and as singles in the 60’s, we

have always wondered what the perfect motorcycle would be for the both of us to ride

and travel on, together. Every time we thought of it, planned it out, thought of the

design, looked in catalogs and magazines, went to dealerships and custom shops, we would then think, "By the time we

figure how much something like that would cost, wouldn't it be nice if someone gave us that perfect gift? We wouldn't

have to pay for it. It would be ours to keep, forever!"

As the Holiday season is upon us, we think of gifts; giving and receiving. There is no such thing in the natural world as

the perfect gift. It may not fit. It may not be the right color. It may seem perfect at first. However, it may eventually

wear out; require maintenance that over a period of time will cost more than what the giver paid for it. What we

thought we needed may turn out to be more of a curse and a liability than the natural blessing that we first expected.

The only perfect gift given to anyone in this world is the gift that God Himself gave to us about 2,000 years ago. The gift

is Jesus!

In order to obtain any gift, we figure it must have value, it must be accepted, and it must be received. When someone

offers us "something for nothing," we will evaluate the motive of the giver before accepting it.

Let's look at the last, first. What is God's motive? For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that

whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. - John 3:16; God loves us so much, that He

would not want to see any of us perish. What more could anyone ask of any father who truly loves his children?

What about value? ……… the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found,

he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven

is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold

all that he had, and bought it . - Matthew 13: 44 - 46

What about acceptance? Will you accept what God did by sending His son? For Christ also hath once suffered for sins,

the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit  - 1

Peter 3:18

Will you now receive Him into your heart? That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in

thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto

righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on

him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich

unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved . - Romans 10: 9 -13

Eventually, everything on this earth (including our motorcycles) will pass away. Lay not up for yourselves treasures

upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves

treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 

Matthew 6: 19 - 20 However, the gift of Jesus and eternal life will last forever. Receive Him now and have the most

fulfilling Christmas that you could ever imagine!

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/southwest-chapter-of-abate-of-florida-january-2016 7/20 7

Please pray this prayer: "Dear God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, my heavenly Father, I confess that I am a

sinner and have been separated from You. I ask forgiveness of my sins. I confess with my mouth that your son Jesus

is my savior and died for me. I believe in my heart that You raised Him from the dead. I receive Jesus into my heart

and ask Him to become the center of my life. I ask, in the Name of Jesus. Amen." 

Blessings,

Tom and Kathy

Annual Christmas Run to Douglas T. Jacobson Veterans Home

Douglas T. Jacobson Veterans Home Registration Booth Pastor Kathy collecting gif

On Sunday, December 20, it was my privilege to lead a group of about 175 bikers and friends on a mission to bring soChristmas cheer to US veterans living at the Jacobson Home in Port Charlotte. As most members know, this ride has beensignature event of our Chapter for many years. 120 veterans live at the long-term care facility. These are folks who, fovariety of reasons, find themselves unable to live independently. For some of them, the Christmas that we brought to themthe only holiday celebration they will have.

We had a very successful fund-raising effort which resulted in about $7500 coming in, which we turned into Wal-Martcards. Each veteran received $60 worth of gift cards to be used as he or she wishes. Many people made small contributiotoo numerous to list here. There were also some major contributors who I want to acknowledge. 21st Century Oncol

donated $3,000, Life Member Randall Spivey of Spivey Law Firm made a $2,000 donation, the American Legion Riders (P90) came through with $500, the Don Wade Fund (administered by the Fort Myers Beach VFW) also donated $500 andSouthwest Florida HOG (Harley Owners Group) “passed the hat” and raised $420! They must have passed around a sombrAlthough it seems insufficient, all I can offer to our donors in return is a big “THANK YOU!!”. 

Liz Barton Carl Nelson Rob and Audrey Cran

The Ride itself was simply terrific. We started out with an excellent and inexpensive pancake breakfast courtesy of KevOld Time Pancakes. The weather cooperated perfectly- it was cool in the morning while we worked to set up but warmednicely as the start time drew near. In addition to our Chapter members, it was great to see our many friends from other groroll in. The Legion Riders, the Latin American Motorcycle Association (LAMA), the Lost Riders, the Shriners, HOG memband fellow ABATE members from the Estero River and Peace River Chapters all rolled in. Peace River also escorted Barton, our Grand Marshall, from Port Charlotte down to Sun Sports to participate. Liz is the Administrator of the JacobHome and a Harley rider who rode up front, just behind our flag bearer, Carl Nelson, and Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus- nother than our own Rob (Big Bird) and Audrey Cran.

Father Tom Lee County Sheriff ’s Office Start of Ride

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/southwest-chapter-of-abate-of-florida-january-2016 9/20 9

Following a few words by Liz, our Chaplain, Father Tom Provenzano, gave the invocation. We then saddled up and ledmotormen and cruisers from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, went kickstands up and headed for Port Charlotte. Young old alike along the route waved and beeped as the Flag and Santa went by. At the Lee/Charlotte County line, the Punta Go police took over escort duty and took us over the bridge to within a few miles of the Home. When we came into the parklot, we were greeted by quite a few vets sitting outside awaiting our arrival. While many of the bikers greeted the vets,went inside and made a presentation of the gift cards to Liz. The many stuffed stockings that were brought along were carin and placed around the Christmas tree. After meeting and greeting the vets for an hour or so, everyone gradually left to hhome or to parts unknown. 

All of the photos of the event will be posted on our Facebook page and our Chapter website (in color). There are many mthan included here in the newsletter, so please check it out to see if the camera caught you there. If you weren’t able to mit this year, try to do so next year. It’s an experience which even brings a tear to the eye of hard-ass bikers!

Happy New Year, Moe
