Club Points Competition

 

This competition is meant to be a friendly way to show your support for the Club’s activities throughout the year and promote a more active overall club membership.  We have a lot planned this year, including a number of different events and many of our members will be racing and participating in a number of DualSport events.  Trail work days will be needed through out the year at Coal Creek and the more people that show up to help, the easier the work will be.

 

Plan to be an active member and we look forward to seeing everyone whenever they have a chance to come out and go riding and to help out with the different planned Club events.  Thank you for your support!    

 

The top five in points so far for this year are:

 

Skip Davis     2050

Brian Strunk   1350

Anthony Khiel   1250

Gary Clark and Steve Lewis    1000

Not Too Early to Think About Officers for 2006

 

The 2005 year is passing way too fast.  It will soon be time to find some folks to coerce into serving as officers for the Volunteer Riders for 2006.  If you have a want to serve in any of the positions that will be available, which include President, Vice President, Secretary, or Treasure, please let someone in the club know about it.  I wanted to list a few of the duties of each position so people could be thinking about where they would best fit.

 

President:  Run the monthly meetings, organize new business for the club, communicate with club membership about club activities, collect door prizes for the end of the year banquet, contribute to newsletter

 

Vice President:  Take the lead on setting up club activities, fill in at meetings when the President can’t be there, contribute to newsletter

 

Secretary:  Produce and distribute the monthly newsletter in hard copy and email, maintain club points competition tally, take notes at monthly meeting, maintain club membership contact list

 

Treasurer:  Maintain the club bank account, write checks for any official expenditures, collect yearly dues, provide financial reports

 

 These are the major things that each position requires.  Be thinking about serving in one of the above positions.   If you have questions about any of the positions, just ask.
