Meeting minutes for March 18th 2012
8 members in attendance. 1 member renewal.
Discussion on meeting time and place for April was decided to be at Skips Lounge @ 1:00 pm due to the response of the 3:00 pm meeting today. Members felt earlier was better. It was noted that we will give an invitation to Caring Unlimited and York County Shelter to attend our April meeting to discuss the coordination in regard to some help in set up and implementation of this years Christmas in July fundraiser at Iron Tails. There was also discussion about the possibility of changing meeting spots on a monthly basis during summer months with a mystery ride at end of meeting/ post and e-mailing as much in advance as possible/ meeting areas possibly planed out at next months meeting. The thought behind this is to possibly draw more interest and participation from members etc. Talked about having more information and updating of website a little more often. Mention was also made regarding our membership drive this year by setting up our booth at upcoming events with more participation from area reps and members. More discussion required planning attendance dates at these events. All agreed that we need the exposure in order to increase our membership. Note; Pine Tree Riders took our 1 pm slot today for their meeting but still had no beverages. Everyone was very excited with the awesome riding weather we are having, I think we were all just happy to ride today!!!!.

Butch welcomed everyone back. Bruce opened up discussion with an idea for having a ride and maybe charging $ 5.00 per person then donating the proceeds to the York County Shelter. He also brought up that Buxton Tavern is having their liquor license renewed so someone ought to make sure a couple weeks before the Frost Bite party that it is ok to still have it there. Butch said he will talk to Bob about it as it is his function. Butch also said if anyone would like to bring a dish or dessert it would be greatly appreciate.

Bob is thinking of having a cabin fever fundraiser, a dinner dance in the end of January beginning of February. Like maybe a spaghetti dinner, like maybe at the eagles in Waterboro. Butch mentioned a potluck. Bruce said if we could get people to commit to helping with the sauce and spaghetti making also garlic bread would help a lot. Bruce mentioned having it at skips or Iron tails so we could get more perspective members. Only problem at iron tails is they serve food so wouldn’t be a good idea to have it there. An idea of a potluck was thrown around. Also should it be a fundraiser for us or another organization like the food pantry? Names for it were tossed around also, Frost bite boogie, spring fling.
Bruce brought up the question about stickers, are they running out for everyone in the spring of 2012? Bob said he doesn’t think it will take full effect until 2013.
The Halloween party was brought up by Butch members $5, nonmembers $10, But if bought in advance will be $5 for everyone. If a non-member signs up it is free. There will be a 50/50. The Bus at Iron Tails is already taken, most of the local motels and hotels are taken up by NH members already.
Need everyone to let us know about any events upcoming.
There are no meetings in Dec and Jan; any question come up can also call Butch or one of the area reps.
Questions was asked if the events like Christmas in July need to be all set up way in advance? Butch said usually we try to do it as far as in advanced as we can so doesn’t conflict with any other ones.
At our Nov meeting we will be having a vote about changing the ending place for the Christmas in July to Iron tails. Always good to have a lot of members input on this. Also Butch brought up having Augusts BBQ meeting at Bobs this summer.
Well it was a good meeting with lots of input would still like to see more members participate.
