According to the club bylaws, board elections are coming up in December. We will discuss this at this important meeting so please plan to attend.  The following positions are available and need to be filled in order for the club to keep running successfully.  Please step up if you are able to fill one of these positions.

President - Jim has been in this position for 3 years and would like to step back.

VP Trails -Eric has been in this position for 2 plus years.

Membership coordinator - Dave has been in this position for several years and it is time someone

else steps up.

EVENT Volunteers - Penny is willing to continue at event coordinator but we need volunteers to step

up.

We will also discuss the Douthat trip, the club jersey order, and night rides for this winter.

Friday, September 8 – Night Ride at Beaverdam in Gloucester.  7pm at the Roaring Springs entrance.  Bring $5 to donate to their trail fund.  Lights and helmets required.  This ride is open to beginner and advanced riders.

September 22-24 – Fall trip to Douthat State Park.  The club will reserve 6 camp sites, and there can be 3 tents with 2 people per site.  Each spot will be $30 (yes, there was a slight change to the price).  If you have a larger tent, reserve 2 spots.  If you plan to bring a camper, please reserve your own spot.  If you are going but reserving your own spot or cabin, please still register as non-paying so you will still get the informational emails.  What are you waiting for?  Sign up now.  Registration is now open at http://evma.org/event-2587806.
