| Item: | Discussion: | Action: |
| BHP Ride Review | Weather cooperated it was a success. The only mishap was with the score cards. Pluses and minuses were given when it just needed to be the letter. | Score cards will be fixed and adjusted properly. |
| Quad | Final paperwork to be done by Kari and Mary Anne. Kari has bought a hitch for the quad and Iris is giving the quad manual to Terry. Helmets are a bit small and we need a first aid kit. | Emma will look into handle bar extensions. Brenda will put together a first aid kit, and we will purchase bigger helmets. Quad safety manual and info sheet are also in process. |
| Spruce Woods | Ride registrations will close Sunday. Do not have tabulator yet. | Paperwork needs to be done and permit needs to be printed. |
| Grosse Isle | Ride will be hosted on sept 21st. 10, 15, 25, and 40 mile distances will be offered. | |
| Trail Finding Contest | MTRC is planning to host some sort of contest with our members. The goal is to encourage people to ride in parks and scout out potential new trails in Belair, Spruce woods, etc. We are looking for new 5/10 mile loops to ride to shake up the normal routes we take. | Maybe as an incentive give prizes to those who find trails. |
| Board Positions/Year end awards | President, Vice president, and Secretary board positions are all over at the end of 2024. A year end award comity needs to be formed. | Board members will discuss who takes over these roles at the annual year meeting. Iris, Terry, and Linda will be the awards comity. Prizes need to be donated or bought and proposed budget is $550. |
