#1 Post by hvhavel »

December 6, 2012 - 6:10 p.m. Noel Wein Library

Board Attendance: Tim Berg, Steve Enoch, Jody Forman, Heather Havel, Paul Renschen, Peter Vredenburgh
Missing: Larry Morris

* are to-do items
=> motions

Board Elections:
Myles Thomas nominated by Tim
Chris McDowell nominated himself for board at the last general meeting
Steve Miller nominated himself for board at the last general meeting
Tim, Paul and Peter are willing to run for board again. Steve is undecided.
Heather will not be running for board.
*Heather will email Crystal the list of people running for the board

Tom Hancock may be able to meet with us at the January meeting.

issues:

Need to have by-laws filed with the State to be an official organization and that paperwork has not been filed

Larry is working on the not-for-profit process, no update since Larry is not in attendance.
*Peter will get an update from Larry.

Are we still getting bills from lawyers Cook & Holbrook?
*Ask Crystal if she picked up mail we haven't seen bill for last bit (Crystal says she gave her PO box key to Peter)
Larry has a copy of bill.
*Steven would like a letter written up to the lawyers either way (if they wrote it off or not) and he will write it up and email it to the rest of the board for review.

Insurance, the club does not have any. Should we?
*Steve knows several other clubs and he will email them to see if they do and will either cc the board, or forward the email thread.

Does the group need long term goals? It would make things easier to know where the group wants to go.
*The question of long term goals will be added to next General meeting’s survey.

DNR to possibly replace snowtrack, which would change how money is handed out.

Snow Rhondy:
Army corp of engineers is having a changing of guard (person in charge retiring)
Jan 1 will be the start of reorganization.
Right now just 120s, tired iron, safety sessions

Tim Mowry - requested a club statement /mission statement wanted - Jody replied

January general meeting is at Compeau's.

December General meeting at CarQuest - John will do a presentation on suggested survival equipment.

Alpine Creek Lodge (http://www.alpinecreeklodge.com/) is open this winter - cabin rates include meals. They also have gas for sale.

November’s General meeting Survey - One person using built ramps for loading / unloading.

Historically it looks like those rides with food have more turnout - ex. the sweetheart ride, the ride with the camp kitchen. Therefore the board needs to try to schedule more rides with food.
Suggestion - ride from adventure road (off of CHSR) to Chatanika - Heather volunteered to lead this ride in March.

The Board needs to bring a food dish each to the next General Meeting.

Meeting Adjourned 7:35 p.m.

Just another note on Alpine Creek Lodge, I was out there twice last winter and will be again Dec 29th-Jan 1st. Its a really comfortable and family friendy place. Claude, Jennifer, and their son Bob are great hosts! I made reservations a few day ago and they still had spots for new years weekend.
