I vow to support
~ Frivolous board meetings topics tabled (INDEFINITELY)
- like complaints from current/previous board members about how a board member
is performing their duties... we are all doing the best we can... if you don't
like the way an officer is performing then run for that office at the next
election...
I vow to support
~ NEW MEMBER RIDES EVERY MONTH
- New Member rides of 100+/- miles to be held 1st weekend following EVERY
general meeting!
I vow to support
~ PICK UP RIDES FOR ALMOST ALL WEEKENDS
- Pick up rides on the calendar for every weekend unless there is another
day ride already scheduled, and, if there is a weekend ride scheduled, a
pickup ride for anyone that wants to ride and cannot go for the weekend
I vow to support
~ Ride Leader Awareness
- SLOWEST RIDER IN 2ND RANK - The slowest rider would be in the 2nd rank
on rides to avoid the leader loosing the back half of the formation, this
is an ooooold strategy that keeps the group together, does not encourage
a rider to ride out of their comfort zone, keeps the ride from becoming a
race and reduces the amount of slamming on of the binders going into turns.
I vow to support
~ OLD STYLE "PROGRESSIVE DINNER RIDE"
- The Progressive Dinner Ride would be brought back with long rides between
stops, NO games, NO competition and NO prizes - just riding and eating.
I vow to support
~ Cool Overnight Rides
- More Overnight Camping Trips - encouraged trips to
- The Redwood Run
- Camp Komratto
- Crescent City
- San Simeon
- other coastal, lake, and mountain locations
I vow to support
~ Cool Semi~Annual Rides
- other semi-annual rides would be encouraged,e.g., the River Boat Excursion
Dinner Ride in Grants Pass, Virginia City, etc.
I vow to support
~ SUBSIDIZED RCHR EVENTS
- e.g., the Poker Run, the Progressive Dinner Ride, the Christmas party, and
by subsidizing, let the club pay for overage costs for T-shirts, food,
commemorative beer glasses, possibly sales of dinner tickets at a reduced price
because... and... (possibly partial) subsidizing of MSF training courses.
I vow to support
~ BOARD MEMBERS AT LARGE
- re-establishment of (some number (?) of) "Board Members At Large," these board
members provide extra bodies to volunteer at board meetings to aid/assist board
committee activities
I vow to support
~ FREE WOMEN'S AUXILIARY DINNER TICKETS
- to be given to... guests at general meetings, person who submitted the best
joke for the newsletter, person who submitted the best cartoon for the newsletter,
etc.
I vow to support
~ PRIMARY ASSUMPTION OF RISK DOCTRINE
- add words to the RCHR waiver... "pursuant to... the assumption of risk doctrine
applies... your participation is at your own risk," and require everyone re-sign
the updated waiver, for whatever it's worth.
I vow to support
~ GENERAL MEMBERSHIP $$$ APPROVAL
- add to the constitution the clause that *IF* the board should decide that the
club needs to spend some large amount ("large amount to be determined") then the
proposal shall be presented to the general membership for discussion and approval...
or disapproval...
I vow to support
~ "CALL-TO-RIDE-NOW" LIST
- a list of folks who are game for a ride... whenever... so, if you want to go
for a short short and you would like company then call someone on the list...
I vow to support
~ AFFORDABLE RIDES
- more day rides, and, many rides in the past have been overnight rides that stay in
a hotel, and, many folks do not have the funds to continuously go on such rides, but,
THEY WANT TO RIDE... so... more affordable are day rides and overnight camping trips,
campsite prices are low, take your own grub to bar-b-q and have some fun around the
campfire throwing sticks at a skunk or...
I vow to support
~ NO CHANGE FOR THE SAKE OF CHANGE
- many things have been changed for the sake of change, i.e., that's what it was
called in the "other club" and we must be different - NO WE DON'T... a New Member Ride
or a 100 +/- ride can still be a New Member Ride or a 100 +/- ride (the "100 +/- ride"
was the name used during that brief period of no club andtherefore there were no
members and therefore no "new members," or the "Bone Award" name had to be changed
because that is what it was called in the "other club" - WRONG... we had an excess of
"little bones" to give to "bone recipients" and it was a fun thing the way it was, or
the Progressive Dinner Ride name and format change - well... if we DO keep the Games
and Grub run for folks who want to play games and eat then that is fine but we need
the Progressive Dinner Ride for those who want to ride and eat.
I vow to support
~ NEW ADVERTISING PLAN
- make a new effort to solicit advertising from local businesses, additionally,
there is a way the club can make money by have relevant links displayed in a side bar...
I vow to support
~ BOD MEETING AGENDA TO MEMBERS
- email the agenda to the members prior to a board meeting, then, if a member is
concerned about an agenda topic the member would have the opportunity to attend the
board meeting and be informed BEFORE it was history.
I vow to support
~ POST BOD MEETING AND GENERAL MEETING MINUTES TO THE WEBSITE...
- in a log-on area, similar to the newsletter
I vow to support
~ Guest Speakers
- each board member will be responsible for a guest speaker at one of the monthly general meetings
I vow to be a
