PRESIDENT’S REPORT: David presented a couple of ideas for the new logo. More suggestions were made and he will bring a new sample at a later date.

NEW BUSINESS:

June 24 Spring Up to Traverse City – Hosted by the Denny and Joyce Weise. Island Theme w/band. The banner for Spring Up was given to Ted Blacklidge, and he will get it to the Weises.

July 19 Gilmore event – hosted by Larry and Earlene Baum. This will be a multi-region event with MSR and MIR.

August: Saunter to the Shore – Hosted by Barry and Candis Collick. More details to follow.

OLD BUSINESS:

The Rally, hosted by Ted & Gabi Blacklidge, was a success despite periods of rain. Great fun was had by all.

Amber suggested making new name tags available to those who request them, rather than the entire membership. Once the new logo has been approved, the name tags will be offered for a nominal fee to those that request one. More details will follow as they become available.
