Item 4: Trail Sisters Designation: Bob Luther will generate an information sheet and communicate the process with WVMTR race directors. No vote necessary.
Item 5: Club Information Emails: Charlotte Wales presented an idea of a monthly/quarterly informational email sent to club members. The plan is to put together an email which provides information such as: upcoming events (races and fun events), results from races that just occurred, links to any race reports prepared for a recent WVMTR race/event, etc., maybe a member highlight where we could detail a big accomplishment a member just achieved, and possible a short summary and then a link to the WVMTR website where you can find all the details. The idea received overwhelming support by the BOD. No vote necessary
Item 6: 2023 Meeting Dates and Club Jackets:
Our 2023 meeting schedule is as follows:
We were finally able to execute a club jacket order this past month. We were thwarted with Patagonia inventory issues last year but were able to order Down Sweaters with a club logo embroidered. The efforts appear have been well received by membership.
No vote necessary.
Item 7: Club Banking: Casseday will explore next steps with Huntington Bank to have previous board members removed as signing authority, have additional active board members added, and updated cards issued. No vote necessary.
