Hello Lakers. Another in the endless series of LCC monthly meetings was held on October 3, 2006. Here's a good share of what we discussed:
- Notable Items
- There were no really historic or notable quotes this time. We were all still in awe of the "I can take it any way I want to" line from DD during the last meeting.
- In keeping with tradition, one food order was forgotten (mine). I hope this improves for future meetings.
- Kansas Police were issuing tickets for riding 2-abreast during Octaginta.
- Since the meeting, cycling Badger was pulled-over by a Platte Woods police officer and informed that bicycles are banned from the roads in Platte Woods, along with Weatherby Lake, Lake Waukomis, and Parkville. Badger to issue a separate report on this.
- Treasury
- The treasurer was absent, but it was assumed that no funds had been stolen, lost, etc.
- Brochure/Flyer
- The latest up-to-date version is on the yahoo site and can be printed and distributed by anyone.
- Flyers were placed at the Wheel and have been getting taken, hopefully by prospective members or riders.
- Yahoo Site
- No new sign-ups lately.
- Fairly quiet as far as messages go in the last few weeks.
- Keep the chatter going about group rides and alternate ride times, particularly when the weather starts to turn nasty and cold in the mornings.
- Ride Schedule
- Wednesday MTB is at 6:00 pm at Smokin Davey Trailhead, not the 7 pm reported last time.
- Saturday Dam Rides still at 8:00 am until the weather turns bad.
- Insurance
- Will pursue a quote later in the year and begin coverage in February.
- Club Logo
- Waiting for Chapstick to submit ideas. Dover will follow-up with her.
- Dover's artist coworker's idea or one of it's derivatives are the front runners right now.
- Club Sponsorships
- Side Pockets will sponsor at a rate of $10 per shirt/jersey.
- Homeward Bound Health Care will definitely sponsor - this is Cricket's wife's business.
- Latitudes will definitely sponsor - this is Cricket's Caribbean shop in Parkville
- THANKS FOR THE GENEROUS OFFERS, CRICKET.
- Platte Valley Bank definitely will NOT sponsor us per Hammer.
- Shatto Dairy needs to be checked - Nail to follow-up.
- The Wheel and Carter-Duffy Realty- Dover to check.
- Cycle City - Timex to check.
- Club Jerseys
- Velo News article identified Hincapie and Louis Garneau as the best large vendors. Other smaller companies also perform this service.
- It would be preferable if we can get the model name of a jersey from a vendor so we can check fit and construction at a local shop before we purchase them sight unseen.
- A marketing/logo/shirt provider happened to overhear the club conversation and expressed interest and will contact Badger next week.
- Need to check on cost per sponsor logo to make certain we are covering the cost of logo plus funding for the club.
- Need to get more firm pricing of jerseys from vendors.
- Officer Elections (That's ELECTIONS with an "L")
- Say hello to V.P. Dover and Secretary Grizz, who were unanimously elected to two year terms by the club members present at the meeting.
- No absentee ballots nor nominations were received.
- Club Party - BBQ - Ride
- Saturday October 28th
- The Grizzes's Hacienda (location and directions will be emailed).
- Optional road ride at 3:00 pm - about 11 miles - party to follow.
- Optional MTB ride around their pond till you get dizzy - unless you are already dizzy before you start (I know a few of these people).
- Grills available - bring your own meat to cook (Lamar to bring his wiener).
- Bring a dish to pass (with food in it).
- Bring lawn chairs, unless you are one of those dizzy people and prefer to be nearer to ground level.
- B.Y.O.B.
- AWARDS PRESENTATION TO THE TIME TRIAL SERIES POINTS CHAMPION !!!
- Bylaws
- At the November meeting we will begin discussing club bylaws (which will probably be required when we join LAB and purchase their insurance next year).
- Badger will borrow some examples of bylaws from other sources to review.
- Membership Cards
- We will issue club membership cards starting with the 2007 membership year.
- Dover to design for review at the next meeting.
