Old Business

7.	DJ Emery: Keith, we need to check past meeting minutes to determine the amount of money donated by chapter members to DJ Emery; discussed ideas about how to utilize the money for DJ’s benefit: Speed, the Marine Corps League is handling DJ’s donations, ask the Nittany Leatherneck Detachment for suggestions; Vicki, set up a trust for his baby, idea supported by Keith; Linda, new members may want to contribute to this effort, possibly pass the hat at the next meeting once we have figured out the amount already collected.

New Business ideas

2.	Member of the Month: Keith, original idea by Stew Koontz, at monthly officers’ meeting the officers will choose a Member of the Month, someone who deserves special recognition for their time, effort and dedication to the chapter and chapter events; the MOM will be recognized at the monthly meeting, receive a chapter T-shirt and a write-up in between the lines; this month’s MOM is John Knarr, he has gone above and beyond with his involvement in the bike show, Hazen and Grange Fair, bringing his trailer, supplies and creature comforts so that we all have a great time. Thank you John!
3.	Chapter “stuff”: Keith, the chapter has various items used at meetings, events, etc., such as the chapter flag, ballots & poker run sheets, please bring any and all materials to the February meeting, if you will not be at the meeting, please call Keith, Bill or Curt to make arrangements; Curt and Kim will store chapter items at their house.
4.	First Aid/CPR: Bill Allison volunteered to teach basic first aid to interested chapter members as this is beneficial info/skills to have with riding season approaching; session will be immediately following the March meeting and will take about 1 hour.
