New Faces

by John Beverly, CBC President 2000-2001

We will have a few new people filling our officer ranks this year. Bill Rogers will be stepping down from many excellent years as the Vice President in charge of Mountain Biking and Mike Walsh will replace him for 2001. Tom Ingledew will replace Mike as the road bike coordinator for this year. Please give each of them your full support and cooperation.

We still need for a Vice President in charge of Road Biking. There are two primary responsibilities for this position. The first duty is ultimate coordination of the two major road bike events; Three State Three Mountain Challenge and the Two for One Century. The second duty is general oversight of day to day road bike issues, such as, ensuring weekly rides are scheduled that include all levels of riders and solving problems that involve road biking as they present themselves. If you feel you have the ability to fill this position, please contact me as soon as possible.

I would also like to find someone to fill the secretary position. This position will reduce the workload that Daisy is now bearing and fill a gap in the tracking of phone numbers and contact lists and other details that make management of the bike club more efficient. This position would include keeping track of details of meetings, especially those important meetings that involve details of the four major events that we hold each year and maintaining a file of procedures and previous contacts. It would involve other basic secretarial matters such as mailing, faxing, sending out mass e-mails and running a few errands. The secretary would need to attend most meetings. If you feel you have the ability to fill this position, please contact me as soon as possible.

These jobs may pay as much as $100,000 a year. Please read the fine print below for details.

We had a great time at Daisy and Hugh's house this year for the annual Christmas party. We had prizes and food and good beverages and fellowship and even a little strip spin the bottle. Now don't you wish you would've been there? Joan Thompson won all the prizes, so we had to do something for fun for everyone else. Several people got all the way down to bare feet then Daisy had to stop it since the house was starting to take on a peculiar foot odor. Thanks Daisy and Hugh for once again letting us invade your home. We enjoyed it very much.

We will have a special meeting on March 6. Please plan to attend. Keep track of the web site and the next newsletter for details and a location. For 2001 we will hold the monthly bike club meetings on the first Tuesday of the month. There will be a few months (April, May, July, October) in which the meeting may be held prior to your receiving the newsletter, so be prepared to attend on the first Tuesday of the month. The location of the regular meetings is yet to be decided, but we hope to find a place where we can fellowship and have dinner in a private or semi private atmosphere. We need everyone to attend, including mountain bikers. If you have any suggestions please contact me.

If you have any comments, suggestions or need to contact me, please call 876-1325 or e-mail ChattBike@aol.com.
