01/18/10 IMPORTANT: At the 1/14
club meeting Ivan brought up an issue that he feels concerns the voting
process the club had on
1/7 for our 2010 officers. His concern is whether "minors" should be
allowed to vote in the club. While the current by-laws do not
restrict who can vote by age, in previous years Ivan said he recalled
they were not allowed to. So in the coming weeks please attend
the weekly meetings to hear all the points of view on this. There are
many. And, if you wish, give your input on what the club should
do in the future. This also leads to several other issues (that are no
one particular persons fault) that the club should probably look to
resolve before our next election. From when nominations should be in
by, to making sure the candidates have both the time and way
to tell the club what they stand for and want to do. It appears that,
the election process that worked for the club 1 year or 5 years ago,
or even 20 years ago, may not be what works best going forward. Hind
sight is always 20/20. There are probably several things that
the people involved (all good people by the way) and the club might
have done different to avoid the situation that resulted.
Unfortunately we can not now turn the clock back to November. But we
can work to make changes that may or may not need to be
made. The next meeting is Thursday.

(myself)...in fact I'd like to give my
acceptance speech now; ...grab a
cup of coffee, this might be long ....but I'll try and keep it under
800 words :) ....just kidding.
Seriously, for myself, thank you. And if I
am allowed some personal space on this page, I'll tell you I actually
enjoy doing the web site
for the club and hope people enjoy reading
it, but I am just the middle man here, the web site is about our club,
our members and our
shared love of and passion for motorcycles.
But as long as the club wants me to do it, I will. As always, feedback
and
suggestions to
make it
better are
always
welcome...
