Hey folks,
Happy August! We need to have a board meeting to vote on BOD members by the end of September. I'd like to have it in a public place (Beerwerks?) so we can invite anyone who wants to come. We'll also talk about fall race planning.
Looks like the week of September 11th is going to work best for me. Please let me know your availability for:
Monday 9/11
Tuesday 9/12
Wednesday 9/13

Would you also please let me if youĀ would like to keep or change your position.

Thanks,
Andrea

Any date works for me. I’ll be retiring from the board.

Hello!

Those days work for me. My preference would be the 12 or 13th.Ā 

I am happy to give up my position if someone wants it. Otherwise I'll keep chugging along.Ā 

Public place like Beerwerks sounds good to me. Thanks for coordinating this, Andrea.Ā 

Cheers,
Jihan

Hello! Ā Sounds good AndreaĀ 

I am unsure on dates as I don’t have my son’s soccer schedule quite yet. Ā But I presume either of the 3 will work. Ā 

BW seems like a good option with all the extra space Ā

Hey! All sounds good!

Any of those days work for me.Ā 
I’m happy to stay on as volunteer coordinator šŸ˜„

Something I’d like to discuss is the website and doing a redesign of it.Ā

I'm good too with the proposed dates.Ā  I can stay or leave, not sure what I really do.

Given Jason's more active role in RD, I would propose trying to get a new treasurer.Ā  Danielle Joyce expressed interest last year.Ā  She is studying to be an accountant and I think this would be a great fit for her.Ā  My two cents.

Jeff - I think your feedback and perspective has been huge. Very additive to the group. Ā Ā 

I have same feeling. I will continue to do whatever is needed and in whatever role. Ā Ā

Thanks, all,
Let's plan for Tuesday, September 12th at 6pmĀ @ NW Beerwerks. I'll create an event on the FB page soon.Ā 

Regarding officers:
I think you all have made some great contributions, and definitely see no need to have folks step off unless they really want to!
So, we at least have an opening for Treasurer. We could also see if there's a way to plug Angela in. I'll reach out to them both.

=) Andrea

Hi Andrea,

I've not spoken to Danielle about the possible treasurer position but I know she expressed interest last time and showed up to the meeting.Ā  I can reach out to her but I'm not sure if you are suggesting below that perhaps Angela might be a fit.Ā  You say reach out to BOTH of them but I don't know who else you are referring to.

I messaged Danielle about the treasurer position and Angela about joining the BOD in general.

Once we finalize if there are vacant positions I'll send out a Fall newsletter and include the public board meeting.Ā 

Ā 

Below are a few topics I’m interested in discussion and think could be useful for club members listening in:Ā 

- budget update

- funding for youth programs

- Saturday group run

- reviewing position titles and responsibilitiesĀ 

- non profit status

Ā 

Look forward to seeing everything and hope you’re getting the most of summer!


Best,

Jihan

Thanks Jihan, I was thinking it would be fun to have a garage sale. Many of us have extra trail gear to donate.

How about we add ā€œgear swap/garage saleā€ to the mtg next month.
Jihan - go ahead and advertise. We don’t need to say what positions are open in the newsletter. You can just say we’ll be having elections.Ā
