Harley Raffle
Signed the contract with Hyde Park VFW for hall in January. Still trying to get alternative menus from TRH.
Toy Run
- Discussion was had on who gets free t-shirts going forward. It was decided that members working at the event and the officers that escort will be the only ones receiving them.
- Discussed concern with lack of traffic control at the 5 way intersection in Barre. Jason will ask Combat Vets if they would be willing to help with road dogs next year. Also discussed that we need to talk to Sam Hill about riding faster if he intends to participate next year– at least keep up with the lead police car.
- Mike Burt is working on getting the Capital Building for next year.
- Michelle Barton is willing to come back next year
- We will need to consider placement of the music next year– it makes it to difficult to hear while selling
tshirts- need to purchase an additional tent as well. Miscellaneous
Richard brought up offering to pay for the VT Safety Course for new members if the are active members for 1 year. Some discussion was had about how to make this work– we will think about it and discuss again at the next few meetings.
Discussed practicality of having the PO box in Montpelier– getting stuff after event dates. Gabrielle will find out the cost of a box in Morrisville where mail could get picked up at a more regular interval. Holly will call Capital Paper to get a handle on what our actually annual cost is with them.
Meeting closed at 810.
Next meeting will be at Hyde Park VFW (remember it’s burger night) on October 5th starting at 7pm
