Old business -
Waylin Wayne Weekend - Mike Allen and Cory Samuell attended the Waylin Wayne Weekend, in Nelsonville and Wayne National Forest. Mike talked about the club with many of the participants but didn’t receive much interest.
Octoberfest at the Ohio State Fairgrounds - It was reported that only three motorcycles showed up to the Octoberfest event. The members at the meeting speculated that attendance was low due to the Buckeye Football team’s home game that afternoon.
Activities Board Member Search - We are still searching for an Activities Board Member to replace Michell Matheron. Any ideas or suggestions?
Alternative meeting locations - Mike is still researching alternative meeting places. He committed to identifying one for the October meeting. Any suggestions?
New Club Tent - The new club tent as approved at the August meeting has yet to be ordered.
New business -
In response to a question raised at the August meeting, Cory suggested improving the club’s online presence and developing a new club website. It was noted that Dave Burroughs has done an exceptional job and has maximized what can be accomplished with the current online blog structure/presence. Cory volunteered to develop a private website which he will share the link to with the members of the club for their input and approval before launching the website.
A motion to move forward with the project was made by Mike Allen and Seconded by Cliff Davis, all members, in attendance, were in favor with no objections.
Cory stated that while he can view the current membership list, he is currently unable to edit it. Cory will contact Dave Burroughs, when he gets back to town, to obtain the access to edit the membership list.
