3 Secretary Barb Harris Minutes of August 2014 Meeting Minutes of Meeting Winnipesauke H.O.G. Chapter 2529 Meeting August 10, 2014 The meeting was called to order at 9:10 am by Director Rick Bassett after a word from our official greeter. There were no new members present. Membership : Fran reported on our total members of 199 and indicated that he fully expects one more membership this week to bring our count to 200 members. He has processed since our last meeting 6 renewals and 7 new members. Treasurer s Report: No report. Ride Committee: Carl reported on a decrease in ride attendance and Rick confirmed that is the case across the board this year with no ideas as to why. Carl reported on the recent Madawaska trip that was very successful with 5 motorcycles and 6 people. It was really a great take and a great ride. Rick distributed the directions/plans for next weekend s Overnight Mohawk Trail Ride that he is leading. Anyone wishing to join in contact Rick. Fran reminded everyone of the Bar Harbor Overnight Ride scheduled for September 5-7. Individuals are responsible for their own reservations. Please let Fran know if you are planning to attend. Today s Ride will be to the Holy Grail in Epping, NH. The trip to Frye Island needed to be changed due to costs for the ferry and the restaurant. Carl is leading today s ride. It leaves at 10am, please sign up with him for the ride. Road Captains No report. NH/VT Rally Judi reported on the recent rally and indicated that it was more organized and better presented but two years in the same place was not the best idea as most of the activities had already been done. Therefore, they did their own thing. Next year s rally will be back to Sturbridge, MA and pre-registrations are available along with a guarantee of a room at the host hotel for the first 100 people who register. Barb had registration forms at the head table for those that were interested. The hotel is honoring the same price for rooms as it did 5 years ago. The rally 5 years ago was a great success and a great time. Everyone is encouraged to register and plan to attend.

5 Ride led by Tom Cady Madawaska ME. August - Friday 1 st - Sunday 3 rd They logged over 1,000 miles on this three day adventure and Carl said they never saw a drop of rain.
