Lobby
Day-Curt- Radar and Curt attended from CLR; approx 80 members from around the
state showed up at the Capital; primary agenda this year was to support Rep.

from the ABATE office, Popcorn provided sloppy joes and sides; Radar-Jake
Corman was not there but they did speak with his Chief of Staff; Steen-35
Reps have signed on to support the bill so far, they are shooting for 75; Rep

Report |

|
|
1. |
OSAL-
Bald Eagle School Dist is dropping their drivers education course due to
budget constraints, State College might follow suit; Sandy-can we get OSAL
into schools through health classes, Hal-yes, health, physical education and
possibly vo-tech; Toy Run mtg 4/26, 7pm at the Salvation Army; State Flag has
been voted upon |
|

Bike
Show-Kim-date has been changed from July 16th to July 30th;
we will be doing t-shirts with sponsors again this year to raise money; one
ticket price of $15 this year will include food, beverages, camping and all
events the day of the show, first 100 people pre-registered will get a free
t-shirt; pig roast again; have a DJ lined up and still making decision about
other possible entertainment options; we have the Legion grounds from Friday
night until Sunday; due to security and liability concerns the event will be
21 and over again this year, having keg beer available would require that the
taps be monitored constantly, wrist band options were considered but there is
still a risk that those under 21 could be supplied with alcohol, volunteers
for security would have the responsibility to monitor this and the beer taps,
we did not have enough volunteers for security last year, so in order to
mitigate the liability and responsibility the event will be 21 and over; no
pets |

renew, cost is $100 |
|
|
3. |
ABATE
Dues Increase- state membership dues will increase by $5 per person beginning
in June, so an individual membership will be $30 and couple’s will be $50;
ABATE is looking for a way to increase revenue, some drains on income are
life memberships; Radar-reimbursements to volunteers is sucking up money;
John H-you get what you pay for, need to spend some money if they want a
quality organization, we throw money at all sorts of causes, we should
reimburse our volunteers for the work they do; Steen-maybe we need to get rid
of dead weight within the organization; Worm-junior memberships have been
extended to age 20 |
|

Pick
up of raffle bike- we’d like to make a group ride if possible to Dubois HD to
pick up the bike, would like to do it before the softball tourney; Ride

|
|
7. |
Radar-any
other interesting topics at the Board Mtg? Mule- chapter needs to send $100
to state for Hazen security detail, dues increase, vote on state flag; one
funny thing, we’ve never been cited at a Board Mtg for being delinquent with
any of our chapter business, Peggy said that Cathy’s bond form was not sent
in but it was, it’s all cleared up, |
