Apopka Music and Bike Fest
Divas Cheryl, Wendy, Teresa, Victoria and Trish rode out to Zellwood today to participate in the Apopka Music and Bike Fest and the 3rd Annual Sun & Fun Poker Run. The poker run took them through some beautiful country roads of Apopka and Lake County and the proceeds went to the BASE Camp Children's Cancer Foundation. And, yes, there was both sun and fun. Right up until the ride home, at which time there were torrential rains and all participating Divas were soaked to the core.

Daytona Bike Week/Chrome Diva Meet & Greet
"We had a terrific time at the Daytona Meet & Greet on March 17th. The Orlando Chrome Divas Board of Directors decided to make the event a memorable one by playing a game we created called, "DIVAS". We created a BINGO-type card with a variety of questions that would get the girls talking with other chapters. Some of the tougher questions were, "Are you an international rider?", "Do you have a dog that rides?", Do you ride an Indian motorcycle?", "Do you have a Chrome Diva tattoo?" and finally "Have you ever ridden the 48 contiguous states?" Twenty five questions in all.
We tasked our members to speak with everyone represented at the Meet & Greet. If the Orlando Diva got a positive reply, the card was marked, name and chapter noted on the back and the questionee was given a token of our appreciation. We purchased these awesome beads that included two motorcycles, two sets of boots and a medallion that stated, "Live to Ride". Everyone wanted the beads!! The winning Orlando Diva was awarded a $25 gift card to the Caribbean Jack's Restaurant.
Our winner was Debi Thomas, the founder of the Orlando Chapter and current SE Regional Director.
I must say that this was an exciting time. All the women were talking with each other, everyone was finding out so many wonderful things about other chapter members. It was a great time had by all.
This was our sixth Meet & Greet and I believe the first time that every member of every chapter represented met an Orlando Chrome Diva."
