Minutes of the June 10, 2008 Business
Meeting Of the BMW Riders of President Daren Roybal was
out of town, so the meeting was called to order at 6 PM by Vice Pres. Milan
Hasse called the meeting to order at 6:00 pm.
There were 12 members present.
The meeting was held at Robert Caruthers’s new Barvarian Motorcycle
Workshop 2486 Commerce Blvd Unit C. Elizabeth Waite presented
Robert with a “Shop Warming” gift of an elegant white shop coat embroidered with
“Bavarian Motorcycle Workshop” on the left breast, and German for “Head man in
Charge” (or something to that effect) on the right.
Also included was a set of white gloves for inspection of customer bikes
at completion of service work.
Robert suggested that customers would have to bring their bikes to him in much
cleaner condition than he usually gets them if white glove treatment is to be
given. Monte Potter Treasurer
presented a Treasurer’s report; the club has $1,577.82 in the Bank with no
outstanding bills. Transactions
during May included checks written for Rally and Western States Bonanza event,
and payment in advance for Rally entertainment.
A deposit for remaining Paypal registrations for 2007 Rally was made.
Jeff Smith is out riding, so there was no Secretary’s report. George and Brad reported that
to date there have only been two registrations for the Western States Bonanza.
A late start on publicity probably hurt.
It was decided to cancel the event for this year.
The check for insurance was not sent in, and George will refund
registration fees. Club members
interested can get bonus lists from George if they wish to ride for fun.
George and Brad will get information out earlier next year.
Brad spoke about his recent participation in the “Two Bits” rally at June
6, at Rally: Club decided to not offer
paypal for registration this year.
Sam will remove it from registration area of club website.
Robert has been in touch with Steve, and should have the Rally equipment
out of Steve’s basement within the month.
Monte and The meeting was adjourned to
Johnny Carino’s at 7 or so. Respectfully Submitted, Monte
Potter (who now has an even greater appreciation for the efforts of our esteemed
Secretary, Jeff Smith) Upcoming events
