Events- these committees will continue to be run separately by the respective coordinators of each ride but will work together when possible to leverage sponsorship opportunities.

Operating Budget-

A meeting was scheduled for February 21 to discuss the priorities for 2010 and how funds will be allocated.  There was lengthy discussion on how to create a long lasting framework for the budget that would ensure the clubs mission statement would be reflected in the budget.  The board determined that it would take more time to decide this issue than a single board meeting would allow, so the meeting was scheduled for a weekend to allow more time to deliberate.

Kickoff ride-

The kickoff ride for this year was scheduled for March 27, Pam Thomas will look into locations that would allow us to meet indoors afterwards to allow for a possible pot luck lunch.

RRR- Patrick is working on adjusting the routes to compensate for different rest stops and starting points on Saturday of this years event since the pavilion was only available on Sunday.

Next meeting will be held on March 10, 2010 at 476 E. High St. (Russell Capitol Management) at 7pm.

Meeting adjourned at 9pm.
