MEETING NOTES 042703

There should be a calendar on the website, so this material would be more organized. Baby Bill lives way the freak up on the hill, ask the sturdy few who rode it. I was afraid of the steepness as a mere car passenger. Notes taken and transcribed by DK and DX, respectively.

• Treasury Report
  um, tresurer's outta town, with our estimated 2-3 Franklins

• Race #7
  end site news-some drama about last year, with clean-up inside feckless, clean-up outside lacking. And a broken truck window. DS will once again undertake securement, seems not a problem. Start-sites were discussed on Beacon Hill, the Holgate hill was spoken of fondly. Sponsorship shirts vs. race shirts discussed. 1-color MC-clubesque planning. More mediums decided, dammit. There is some hope of us not pooch-screwing for the bread, like last year. Everyone agrees to get our sponsors treated right, early. *no official vote taken*

• Next Meeting
  The next meeting was planned for Victoria Day, Monday April 19th at the Rendezvous. Be there, slackers. We will discuss race and stuff.

• Next Ride
  As if you didn't know, ride this freakin' Friday, May 2, 2003. We will meet at the Streamline Tavern in beautiful lower Queen Anne at 8pm. 121 Mercer? See the calendar.

• Talkin' Prospects
  Lauren and Cully should recieve colors if Chalo and Nick F procure them from the the present color-holder, Quigs, before (or immediately before) bestowal. Tim will be checked for sewin' them on this month. AJ may return from a long absence. There is still some difficulty with the introduction thing of new prospects, lack of a clubhouse once again trumping. "Meet&Greet" was catchy enough sounding to get witten down as a way to go your first month, once everybody knows you you'll probably get colors. Glitter declared evil.

• CMWC
  The Cycle Messenger World Championships were briefly discussed. More a soap opera update than anything else. A Dead Baby run "Petting Zoo" of bikes, in a corral-type dealie, where 50¢ is charged for rides, and "No Falling Off!" is enforced in a "safer" enclosed area. It was unanimously decided to "make some money!" DK is ripe with logo idea. NF has thrown into the ring, as well.

There was sunshine, an icy cooler full of Luckys, a fridge full of PBRs, and no good reason to leave. Damn near almost barbequed.
