LOCATION: Fremont Community Activities Center
DATE: Oct 9, 2012
ATTENDANCE
Gary Smith (President), Ken Goldman (Vice President), Terri Yi Treasurer), Chris Menicou (Race Team Representative), Jennifer Shively (Secretary)
Guest: Ed Tanaka
The board discussed the following agenda: Race Team Update, Early Renewal Incentive, Meeting Programs and Location, Treasurer’s Report, and Budget for 2012 – 2013.
Race Team Report
As of last weekend the Northern CA racing season concluded for 2012. We now go into October training rides on Saturdays with ladies specific riding on Sundays. October will be a good time for club members who are interested in the Race Team to check out rides as these will be lower key, and it will be easier to get to know people and check out the riding. We are also in the midst of re-upping our sponsors and sponsorship for the 2013 racing season. Closure in the next six weeks is important as we will need to place orders for new team uniforms with the names of primary sponsors. Watch for the new kit design for next year’s team!
Race, Ride, Event Update:
We had Race Team members riding in the following races in September:
Central Coast Circuit Race – 16th
Oakland Grand Prix (Downtown near Lake Merrrit)– 22nd
Henleyville Road Race – 29th
Congratulations to Thomas Duncan and Lindsay Kageyama! Silver medals at the District Track championships.
Team Membership:
59 Total Race Team Members, 9 Ladies, 11 Juniors
Thursday Night Training (TNT):
Taking place as always at 6:30PM on Eureka off Stevenson in Fremont.
New Membership Renewals:
November is Race Team Sign-Up Time
Early Renewal Incentive
An early renewal incentive was discussed to encourage December/January renewals so a more accurate membership count could be provided to the club’s insurance carrier. Ideas included a drawing and a reduction in membership dues. A drawing was favored.
Members of the board will also look into online membership. This might encourage earlier renewal due to ease of use.
Meeting Programs and Location
The board discussed having a meeting program for the second hour/General Meeting. Some ideas included speakers, cycling trip adventures and movies.
The Fremont Adult School is currently being considered for a new Board and General Meeting location. The fee is comparable, parking is plentiful and well-lighted and we would have access to a classroom.
Treasurer’s Report
Terri reviewed the current financials through the end of September. The board agreed to eliminate the monthly $3 service charge for paper statements. Terri will have online access.
Budget for 2012 – 2013
The board reviewed budgetary numbers and made adjustments. Budget to be voted on at meeting next month.
Gary will be sending an email asking membership to showcase their new jersey designs at the November club meeting. The board would like to review the new designs and hopefully recommend one to the club.
The meeting adjourned at 8:00pm
The next Board and General Meetings will be held on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
