The meeting was called to order at 6:30
Shirley reported a club balance of $1,673.59.
The Phillips Health Fair is Wednesday, February 25 from 10:00 to 1:00. Keith, Alan, and Sean are helping, along with a cyclist from Phillips (others are welcome). The Pedalers booth will offer club brochures, membership forms, a spring ride schedule, and a sign indicating reasons to join the bike club (listing the reasons provided to Alan by club members in response to his recent email request).
Laurie, Keith and Jack (other volunteers are welcome) are planning to offer a beginners ride on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays this year in conjunction with the regular club rides. These rides will start at the same time and place as regular rides, but will offer a slower (no drop) pace and will generally be shorter in length than the regular club rides.
To further encourage recruitment of new club members, a motion was made and passed to provide the first year of club membership for free. These new members would fill out a membership form and sign the liability waiver and receive all regular club benefits without any charge for their first calendar year.
A member conflict has arisen for the scheduled May 1-3 dates for Spring Fling. An alternative weekend, May 15-17, has been proposed, with Mother’s Day weekend (May 8-10) being another alternative. The club will be queried by email to see which weekend people prefer. Oologah Lake has been proposed as the location.
Our next meeting is scheduled for March 16.
Meeting adjourned at 7:40.
