Minutes to last meeting not read. Treasurers Report given.
Thanks to all that sold Raffle tickets and/or came to the Benefit. Shame on Bloomfield as a city for not coming out to help with the event, as the money for the event was meant for our community charities. Shame on the other Iowa Chapters for also not supporting us as a BTW chapter no matter what kind of event.
There was a discussion about whether or not to have a benefit next year. Nothing was decided for sure, will wait for more members to be present but it doesn't sound promising. It's hard to out do ourselves, we worked so hard for and pushed Freedom for Kids Benefit and gave those people the reputation that we actually earned. (It will now always be hard to get people to understand we are the same people just our own chapter.) Ideas of what to do with what wasn't auctioned off to members was discussed and no decision was made at that time. Waiting for more members at meeting.
Heartland Trikers wants Southeast Trikers to meet them at Knoxville in the park on July 25th after riding up there. They nor us know what we are doing when anyone gets there we will just have to play it by ear.
There is also a 3rd annual memorial bike show and 100 mile fun run in Bonaparte on the 24th. For more info contact Al or Mike. Everyone is free to attend.
After this year we will have a set amount for charities and try to keep our chapter money growing to a certain amount and then set it. The donation can for chapter money will still travel to every meeting and we need to feed it but only if you can afford it, pay bills and buy groceries first, Please.
