Thusday meeting recap

Turn out for dinner was lighter than expected, so Thibbs had a surplus of food, probably something to do with the weather forecast.

The weather prediction called for a wintry mix with a possible accumulation of 1-2 inches.

The meeting began on time, Pledge, moment of silence, Roll Call.

The procedure was halted for a special announcement by the Club Chaplin / 2nd VP. so that members could sign a card for one our hospitalized members.

The Secretary made his usual report, nothing. The Treasurer talked about money in and money spent. The President talked about dealership flyer's. The flyer's are to be issued to area dealerships (by county) offering a one year membership to persons buying a motorcycle from the dealers. The flyer will work as a monetary coupon good for a one year membership amount. Subject will still have to adhere to all membership prerequisites.

The VP discussed the up coming Blessing, and mentioned there will be a committee meeting about that soon.

There will be a trip on Saturday for those interested. the club will be meeting at noon at the COLCHESTER Dunkin in their cars (snow predicted) for a run to the Motorcycle Expo in Hartford. This years Expo will be held in the XL Center (Hartford Civic center) instead of the Exposition Center.

The President has left the color palette decisions for the older Club section upgrade to the Women. They will come up with the re-painting info, but he did specify "Earth Tones".

The Activities Chair announced there will be a Card and Pizza night at the Club on Saturday the 28th, bring your own pie.

The Blessing contingent is looking for a new shirt supplier and the possibility of having long and short sleeve shirts done this year. There was also mention of changing the shirt design on the front to perhaps a Celtic Cross and the new title "Blessing at the Beach". The discussion of the new emblem brought about ideas ranging from everything like prayer hands, to naked women, to Jesus carrying the Cross riding a Scooter.
I believe I heard the Chaplin mutter "Heathens" under his breath.

Opening the door after the meeting it was realized that it was good that no one rode because there was about an inch of snow on the ground and it was still coming down.
