Minutes from February 8, 2011 board meeting were approved as emailed.

Barbara Hinzman reviewed current expense and income figures. Don will get current copy in order to work on a new budget. Club pins distributed.

Jan Absher reports current membership totals 144, an increase of 9 since last month. Jan identified 65 members from 2010 who have not yet renewed their membership. There was discussion regarding the best way to reach these 65.

It was noted that the club website is in limbo for various technical reasons.

Also discussed was the optimal way to make the membership roster available to all members, and it was determined that members who want a roster can make the request directly to Don by email. Don has delivered ride schedules to various bike shops. Don has also contacted bike shops regarding an exchange of free advertising for a 10% discount at the bike shops for current members.

Next topic of discussion was finalizing ride leaders for May and June. Don offered to meet with Jamie to discuss scheduling issues. Michael discussed his needs for the website regarding deadlines and formats.

Thank you letters from FCT and BAW will be acknowledged in our next newsletter. Decals will be sold for $4 and any remaining will be used as prizes at annual party. A picnic was proposed at the end of September for ride leaders. Barb Kehr stated the August picnic location is reserved.

April 16 will be the ride to bring garden tools to Mile 22 for our club’s contribution to CT maintenance. The Bloomsday Bike Corral club volunteers need to keep May 1 on their calendars.

Meeting adjourned at 7:15 pm.

Respectfully submitted,

Barb Roemmich for Jennifer Calvert, Secretary.
