June and July 2008

The club members continue to have meetings.

For a while there it looked like the club members were doing advertisements for crutches, braces, and walking canes. Happy to say at the least social event everyone was walking on their own!

The club members continue to gear up for the Taylor's Tavern Toy Run Fund Raiser for October 11th - if you have something to donate please contact Barbara or Paul at 263-9000.

The Toy Run is December 7th.

A few club members ride over the Hopland weekly for the half-price buffet (yum, yum).

A few club members ride daily.

A few club members have gone on multi state rides - to Alaska, to Montana and to Missouri.

Road clean-up August 2nd.

Next meeting August 5th at the Cottage Cafe in Lakeport.

January to May 2008

A few meetings, a bridge dedication, a poker run....and a ride or two. Most of our efforts were focused on the Bob Reese Memorial Poker Run in early May.

Not a great turn out for the poker run, but considering the economy it wasn't a bad turn out either.


Our members meet each month at the Cottage cafe in Lakeport - First Wednesday. 6 p.m. for dinner, 7 p.m. for the meetings. All are invited to attend.

JANUARY 2ND WE WILL MEET AT THE COTTAGE COFFEE SHOP

eat @ 6:00 so we can begin meeting by 7:00

Nineteen members were present. Guest/prospective member Bob Weis was introduced.

One of the first orders of business was the introduction of a possible amendment to the bylaws regarding nomination deadlines and the actual voting by the members for officers. Chuck Gillingham drafted the proposal. It was read by Chuck and then per the bylaws our President Steve Sayers read the proposal to the members. Bylaws require that the proposal be read at the two meetings, then there will be discussion and the proposal will go to the members for voting.

The sole purpose of the amendment would be to set policy to give members time to consider running for office or being nominated for office & to make the annual transition of officers become effective in January (instead of the current method of voting in November and handing off to the new officers following the December meeting). Discussion will be at the next meeting. Any future action on the proposal will be under the guidance of the 2008 officers; and of course, the membership’s vote.

Paul Breunig reported on the Toy Run & showed the Certificates of Appreciation to be presented to our major supporters. Paul’s count was 40 bikes braving the elements and no count on the No Name Car Club or other autos that participated. Music was provided at no charge by PUBLIC NUISANCE. They donated their tips to the Toy Run in the amount of $30.

Carol Jordan has set up tables in Breunig's barn and has things sorted for our ‘shoppers’ to fill their lists on Thursday (Dec. 6) evening at Breunig’s barn. Cookies and coffee will be there. A thank you card will be sent to CMA for working the kitchen. Nick Norcio & Danny Garrison worked the barbeque all day to keep the steaks coming! They have this down to a fine art! Thank you Nick & Danny. Carol Jordan ( & company) have shopped. We’re still short on teen boys items.

I will see that Public Nuisance gets a THANK YOU card.

Steve Biggs announced ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY JANUARY 4^TH FRIDAY @ 10:00 at the Nice Lucerne cutoff.

GWTA rep Jimmie Phillips was absent. Chuck didn’t have any GWTA news to report.

A membership application, in good order, (with dues) was presented by John & Lynn Hicks. They were unanimously voted to become members of CLEAR LAKE ROAD RIDERS. Welcome to the group. Its always exciting to have new members come in. Get Well to Lynn, she has been sick and wasn’t able to participate in the Toy Run or the meeting.

Fifty-fifty ($36.50) was won by Peggie Rombach (she’s on a lucky streak).

Most exciting order of business:
