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.

Waiting on update from Joe for sticker pricing. - Waiting for return phone call - may need to pay a fee for the art work to get a quality sticker - prices to come next month

Thanks to Jay for finding our club records.  Looks like we have everything we talked about needing.

Chris is checking with other clubs to see if we can do a Christmas party together. No date set at this time
