OLD BUSINESS:

Insurance for Club Events - Sam has contacted Butch at Mid West - waiting to hear back from him.  We'll need to find out additional details on what Mid West will cover and determine if it will cover our events.

Proposal to raise club dues: Single to $40 and Family to $50 Still need to determine how it will be used before accepting the increase.  2010 dues will remain the same

A motion was made to move the current "Savings" into general funds.

$133.00 will be moved to the land use fund - the remainder will be general funds and the 50/50 raffle will still go to the land use fund.

Working on a new flyer - will be starting from scratch. 

Checking on places to put club flyers inviting people to come join our Club

Suggested that a 50/50 raffle could be done using the clubs name and donate the money for March of Dimes next year.  Jay spoke with Super Bowl, and they are fine with doing this in for the club in 2010 mostly likely in September.

Rider looking into Face Book page and will send out e-mail on details.

$50 will be given to Dean for the use of the back room at the Dome - Harold and Mary have been tasked with determining the "gift" to be given.  At this time it looks to be a gift certificate from Dick and Jones.

Waiting on update from Joe for sticker pricing.

Everyone - Please look for any paper work that pertains to the club's records and bring it to the next meeting.   I will try and track down from the state a copy of the incorporation papers.

Jesse receives a wonderful T-shirt to remind him of the good times we had this summer.  Thanks Kevin! J
