Hey Everyone, this is your 'elected' President speaking.
Due to the unscheduled Pandemic, those members concerned with the club's status
attended an online, Business Meeting last Saturday via Zoom. I was duly elected-promoted
to President [in accordance with tradition]! I thank Pam for her participation as President in
the covid-stricken, limited riding-year of 2020 - a year that will live in Infamy for all of us! She
arranged to host the group meeting via Zoom, as so many meetings were accomplished in 2020!
Since we're all waiting for herd immunity, spring meetings were written off. The club will continue
operating virtually for a spell, but I want to encourage everyone to contact me if you seriously want
to organize an impromptu Ride-2-Eat. You're encouraged to put your planned Ride on the Forum
{under the HAPPENINGS tab} as well as having me electronically invite every member to the gathering.
I suggested a tiered strategy with regard to Organized Rides, with Alabama split into a North/Huntsville,
Central/Birmingham, and southern region/Mobile/Dothan. Anyone can step up and Suggest a Ride to
a designated restaurant at any time, as long as we can get the word out... There might even be
overlapping R2E's on the same weekend in different regions. We're simply trying to "keep it simple"
and encourage the membership to enjoy riding in 2021 and camaraderie across a table for lunch or dinner.
I'm appending the official minutes of the Zoom meeting. Thanks to the folks who were able to log-in!
Let's hope we won't have to Zoom together for much longer. Team Ager is on the hook to arrange
another spring meeting, this time 21-23 May, at Joe Wheeler State Park. Hope you'll put it on your
calendar, and come out and mingle together.
Stay healthy, stay in touch, and keep riding safely!
Ciao, Philip and Karen Ager
