Week Update:
Mike
Marsh gave final report on the scooter raffle noting the club netted $3,539.89.
In light of the fact that we only marketed the scooter at Bike Week and
at two road shows, the net result was deemed a success.
Special thanks were given to the members who purchased tickets and to Dick Breton for allowing us to sell tickets in his place of business.
New By-Laws and Other Proposed Change:
Mike
opened the floor to questions regarding proposed changes to the Bylaws. Mike
noted that, with the decline in membership, in order to make the club more
attractive to new members, changes have become necessary and the rules need
to be more “inviting.”
Some
highpoints
of
the
proposed
changes
to the Policies and Procedures include the following:
• Rather than weekly, the club will meet twice a month: the second
and fourth Monday.
• Members will not be required to pay for meals when they miss a meeting.
• Members will be required to attend just twelve meetings a year.
Additional ideas include getting high profile guest speakers to attract guests and prospective new members. Solicitations for a donation will no longer be made to the general membership but, rather, to the Board of Directors at their monthly meeting.
