Wednesday Night Ride: April 16, 2014 Meeting place: The Copper Hog at 5:30. Ride to depart at 6:30 PM.

Rally Notes:  

Jeff M talked about sponsors and getting donations. Rather than soliciting donations this year, we are going to buy the majority of items for the Rally. Dorcie suggested all Club members pick-up scooter-related items anytime they see them, then donate them to the Club for the raffle. We would like to have rally raffle items assembled in advance and promote them so we can start selling tickets Friday Night like last year. There was some talk of having a garage sale or flea market for selling items during the rally.

Clint is working on the Rally logo, the theme of the Rally is 9, as in Highway 9, one of our favorite roads. This logo will be used on business cards, a patch, buttons, and posters/flyers. The scarf will be an SOB scarf though not specific for this year’s rally.

We are looking for someone to plan and execute games during the Rally (Friday and Saturday nights). Games will include the slow ride atop the Parkade (and any others) and games at the Saturday night party at Jeff and Mary’s.

Gary raised concern that there are only 2 more meetings before the Rally and it seems there is a lot to be done. Jeff M said that most things are right on track.

Barring un for seen circumstances I'll help cook Saturday night with the Pig.  I think we should think about providing alternatives to the pig since some folks, like my wife, are allergic to pork, or don't want red meat; chicken perhaps? I'll also scope out some rides and lead one of them, perhaps the Saturday AM ride.  Where do we want to end up for lunch? Suggestions?

Nice job on the meeting notes.

Gary
