A.I.M.CAN
  INTERIOR BC
    

Welcome to AIMCan Interior Chapter

What is AIMCan?

The Association for Injured Motorcyclists was formed by a group of British Columbia motorcyclists in 1983. They felt that there should be more information on services available to them after an accident, information that no organization was currently providing. By pooling their own accident experience, they thought they could assist riders who were looking for advice, information or assistance.

The Interior B.C. Chapter of A.I.M. was formed in June 1988 and there are also chapters in other areas of the province. All chapters are separate registered non-profit societies and operate autonomously. All chapters meet annually at a provincial meeting to review operations, share ideas and set general policy and dues for all chapters for the coming year. 

The Interior Chapter is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors elected annually. Membership services are provided by this Board with the assistance of Area Representatives and volunteers in each community or area of the chapter region.

Boogie Bash 2009 

The venue for this event is the Fair Grounds in Rock Creek, BC.  Trust me, you won't be disappointed with this location.  It has everything from treed camping, access to the river, rodeo arena with bleachers for the bike games, no dusty roads just beautifully grassed expanses, a large stage for the musicians, and plenty of additional space to work with in an effort to satisfy everyone's needs. 

The Rock Creek community has let us know that they want us in their community for this event and have bent over backwards to ensure we return. A detailed write-up of this year's event, as well as some photographs of the site is on our website www.boogiebashbc.com. The planning required for Boogie Bash 2009 is underway.  We are also tossing around some ideas to offer more things to do, and possibly incorporate more variety to a couple of the old standard events. 

Organizing and hosting any large event is a massive undertaking.  If anyone feels their organizational and/or managerial skills would be of assistance to us, please contact us to volunteer.  You don't have to be an A.I.M. member to be on the Boogie Bash Committee.  In addition, if you wish to volunteer your time for a six hour shift during the event, please contact us.  The benefits of volunteering include a refund of your attendance fee, and a free t-shirt. 

BC law dictates that as we have applied for a "private license" for this year's event at Rock Creek, all tickets to the event must be purchased in advance.  All you need to do is contact either the President or the Secretary by telephone or e-mail  (see the list of directors set out in this newsletter) and provide either of us with your name, telephone number and the number of tickets your require, and your name will be posted on our list.  Once we receive your payment by either cash, certified cheque or money order, your wrist bracelet(s) will be in an envelope with your name on it awaiting your arrival at the gate.  To ensure the correct party receives the paid bracelet(s) your signature will be required upon receipt of the envelope.  Only the person who ordered the tickets will be permitted to obtain them at the gate.  All questions can be directed to either directors as set out in this newsletter.

Our hope is to see you at this year's Boogie Bash event which will help us to assist motorcycle accident victims and their families.  Boogie Bash is our main fund raiser for this cause, as well as memberships.  If you are not already a member, please consider becoming one and being a part of the helping force to assist your riding buddies.

In the meantime, ride safe.
 

-Dale S. Keyes, President
