There were 3 board members and 10 members present.<\/p>\n<p>The treasurers report was read and accepted.

The date will be picked at the May meeting. We plan on getting a lasagna from Costco&#8217;s to try for dinner since we are considering that as an option for the Harley Raffle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Toy Run:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hartigans sent a letter asking if we were in need of their services this year- offering discount for multiple units. Donnie will call to see what price they give him as a &#8220;regular&#8221; person before we call them as UMV. Kevin said he would check with some people he knows about prices.<\/p>\n<p>Mike will ask the food vendor to donate a portion of his food sales to the Shriners.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Harley Raffle:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There was more discussion on food options and possible location change so we could sell more tickets and get a bigger bike. Decided it might be something to look into for another year. Would stick to what we know this year, try to make a decision on the food in the next couple of months. The VFW auxillary was also mentioned as an option. Kevin will talk to his sister about possbile options\/cost. Don and Marje will talk to Green Mountain and Wilkins when they return about prices\/options for this the 2014 bike. Still looking for raffle item- set limit of $100-$150. Thought about a $100 gift cert to who ever we purchase the bike from if we don&#8217;t find anything else.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kingdom Thunder:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lots of discussion as to whether we have the man power\/interest\/committment to continue with the event. It was decided that we would push the event as a &#8220;lite&#8221; Kingdom thunder for the next 2 years to keep the interest and the weekend. It would be billed more toward the 1 day event, with a shorter ride (done at 2pm instead of 4pm) with a BBQ and local band until 7pm. Once the hotels were up, push for the 3 day event more like what was at Cedarwood. This would keep the cost down and hopefully allow for more of a donation.<\/p>\n<p>We are going to ask for a meeting with Burke next week to discuss loose ends:<\/p>\n<p>1. who responsible for what- set up, clean up of BBQ, garbage removal<br \/>\n2. Jay still on board to provide snow fence, set up\/take down tent and stage<br \/>\n3. Still ok for camping even if billed more as 1 day event<br \/>\n4. local band suggestions<\/p>\n<p>Person at the chronicle willing to sell ads and sponsorships for a small %. Decided that was worth the cost since none of us have the time to do what needs to be done. <\/p>\n<p>Gabrielle will check with memphremagog press about getting posters for next week so we can have them at Ted&#8217;s rally.<\/p>\n<p>The Next meeting will be May 1 at Orleans Legion starting at 7pm.
