| Item: | Discussion: | Action |
| Derksen Donation | Derksen’s donated $500 to the club. After discussion, it was decided to give up to $100 to each ride manager of the four rides being held this year. Ride managers may use this money however they chose to enhance their ride e.g. (food and coffee for the vet and volunteers, prizes, loot bags for riders, etc.). Ride managers may want to go to Greenhawk or Master Feeds for some of these items to see if they can get a discount. The leftover money will be used for yearend awards. | Ride Managers |
| Club Promotion | Members will get prices on windbreakers with the club logo and present them at the next meeting. | Kari Linda Other members |
| Ride Updates | Everything is set for Belair except for the permit. There is an issue with the online portal. Kari has been in contact with Chris regarding the permit issues. She has reapplied as per Chris’s instructions so hopefully, the permit will arrive shortly. Kari will promote the ride in the next few weeks once the weather has improved. Brenda will post the registration for the ride two weeks prior to the event. | Kari Kari Brenda |
