Products-Presented
a binder with State and Chapter products for sale, will be at every meeting;
will have limited product on hand (Ts, long sleeve Ts, sweatshirts) and can
take orders; hats, koozies, etc will be available upon request; presented new
Chapter logo design that ties us into the State by having the Eagle from the
State logo on the front and also over the state of PA in our Chapter logo on
the back, will take a vote on the logo; Keith-we are trying to achieve a
uniform, recognizable chapter appearance; Steen-likes having product
available and a uniform Chapter logo, questioned if we have a products
budget, will be voting on a budget this meeting, previous budget was $400 |

|
1. |
SGOC-have
the SGOC and Special Permit on hand, members welcome to review them; Tom
Sharer questioned what happens if we make changes regarding any locations
listed on the SGOC or Special Permit, a change of data can be done to update
that kind of info |
|
|
2. |
Bike
Raffle and Bike-Keith-Chapter has run on a budget of ~$2000, spending $1000
more to get the Iron Sportster cuts our funds in half; Hal-can adjust
spending in other areas to accommodate getting the Iron, raffling off an Iron
would improve our image; Stew-Iron vs Sportster probably doesn’t matter to
the avg person who purchases our raffle tickets, suggested forming a committee
and starting fresh; Steen-ticket sales have been consistent over the years
we’ve done the raffle, can we sell enough extra tickets to make up the cost
difference?; Danny-an Iron would be extra incentive for him to purchase a
ticket, who is committed to making extra effort to sell more tickets?;
Tom-don’t purchase the bike ahead of time, sell tickets and winner can get a
2011 bike, eliminates insurance costs for the bike, create an attractive
brochure for selling venues; Motion to waive previous decision to purchase
and raffle an Iron Sportster by Steen, second by Mike Roan, motion passed
24/0 |
|
|
3. |
L&L
Seminar-Jody-very informative, will definitely go again; Radar-what was major
issue during Friday’s panel discussion?, road conditions (gravel,
tar&chipped roads man-holes, rumble strips), cell phone legislation;
Hal-he has presented these issues at the PennDOT Safety Summit; Keith-some
roads are state, some are local municipalities, if you see a problem, report
it to the proper authority |
|
|

Chapter
Collage-Hal-today is the last day to give him Chapter-related photos, will be

within the next 2 weeks to put collage together |

DJ
Emery money-Keith-found $330 in a treasurer’s report Feb 2007 labeled
“chapter donation”, $55 won by John in a 50/50 at the Poker to the Beaver
donated to DJ Emery Fund noted in Oct 2008 minutes for a total of $385;
Natalie-what about minutes from subsequent months?, references were made to
DJ emery, but no $ amounts noted; Vicky & Mike-people supposedly donated
their L&L reimbursements to the fund, there are no notations of that in
treasurer’s reports or minutes, since it was personal money and not chapter
money, there would have been no motion to that effect either; Mike Roan and
Curt Stump are on the committee to determine what to do with the money;
Speed-contact Nittany Leathernecks; Motion to accept $385 as the final amount
in the DJ Emery fund make by Danny Saville, second by Steen, motion passed
23/1 |

Website-MoonDog-applause
to new webmaster for new Chapter website!; www.centrelineriders.org, $39.95
per year for domain name, first year donated by Steve LaMar, expense will be
voted upon by Chapter next year; webspace is free; MoonDog explained the
site, asked that members send him pictures for the site via a site such as
Photo Bucket or Flickr so he can put the links on the CLR site, photos in
other formats can take up too much space; State has asked for the site
password in order to “police” the content of the site, but is ok with the
Chapter President overseeing content |
