Thanks to all that showed up for Helping with the cooking this past weekend.
A Couple things that came to my attention this past weekend and I want to set the record sraight and stop all the rumors.
This Chapter is involved in two events a month. The Brunch with bikers and the Third Saturday cooking, this is out way to make money for the chapter. These are our events as a chapter. you can volunteer for either or both. events male or female, they are BOTH Chapter events and Chapter events mean ALL of us. 
Also when we have a BOD Meeting this is not just for the Primary Officers this is EVERYONE that hold a position. if you are out of town for something, that's understandable this is where we come up with ideas and work as a team to bring new things to the chapter. If you are going to be out of town please have someone fill in for you.
We need 3 more people to sign up for a name tags these Name Tags are $9.50 each please get with Danny Waddles to get yours ordered. Once we get three more Danny will be able to order them at the reduced price.
couple more things that we need to put out from the BOD Meeting.

Ad Hoc Audit Committee: Lee is soliciting for 2-4 members to serve on an hoc audit committee. The committee's goal is to conduct a review of the financial records and financial procedures of the chapter and report back. The time commitment would likely be for two meetings of 1-2 hours each and some possible follow-up likely by email. Meetings would be conducted at a mutual agreed upon date/time. Any related training or experience (i.e CPA, accounting courses, volunteer tax preparation, past service as treasurer) is helpful, but not required. Interested members should email Lee at [email protected] listing any related experience.

HOG Norscot Chapter T-Shirt & Merchandise Order: We are collecting Pre-orders for the black long sleeve chapter t-shirts ($35) discussed at the previous meetings. Any other HOG Norscot merchandise including name tags ($9.50) can be requested at the same time. Once we ensure the minimum of 24 shirts is met, members will be sent a PayPal payment request as all merchandise must be paid for in advance. the target deadline to request shirts or other merchandise is August 16th. Please complete the google Form linked here to preorder shirts or any other https://forms.gle/UkkwbLopECLdPwEn9

Two Main rides I would like to touch on.
July 22nd is the 11th annual International Hotter Than Hades Ride, enjoy the flavors of different countries around the world all in a nice enjoyable ride, Entry fee $20.00
July 23rd Take a ride back in time through the back roads of Gloucester into West Point where you will be taken back in time. Chuck Amos's Brother in law has build a replica of an old general store. when you walk in it takes you back in time and view all the neat antiques from wooly willy to Doctors instruments, to a match box vending machine that costs just $.01 and so much more. Lunch is Provided By Ron and Tammy which they are planning on cooking with drinks for all that attend. Cost is $1.00 there is one item that we saw that will be shown and the and the person that can guess what the item is could win $100.00, this item will not be shown until we get to the general store. Also Ron's wife has her "She" Shed where she does crafts that would be very interesting for the ladies these items are for sale but Items in the general store are not.  Ron and Tammy have graciously opened up their place for us to step back in time. For them to plan the food and drinks we will need a headcount on the people that would like to attend. Please email Carl Laycock at [email protected], Rick Potter at [email protected], or Chuck Amos at [email protected], Deadline for this is 19 July,   you don't want to miss this.
