We had a good meeting
tonight at the Shrine Center. The new officers
were installed by the Illustrious John Carlisle, Potentate.
President,
Mike Wade Vice President, Joshua Hopper,
Secretary/Treasurer, Darrell
Blaine.
We will be meeting in
the Red Fez room for this year and we will be afforded the full use of
the facilities
so
long as we clean up after ourselves and secure the building. This
will
allow us many fund raising possibilities for the upcoming year.
Following are some of
the highlights of our meeting.
The
by-laws were read and a few grammatical errors were noted. A
by-laws
committee was appointed to review and submit proper changes to be
approved by the Potentate.
We talked about some
of our duties to
insure a successful Bikers Ball. We will be working the parking
lot
and other details, so your full participation will be required.
There
will be a Bikers Ball meeting on Wednesday evening, January 21, 2009 at
6:00 p.m. in the Fez room. Please make every effort to attend.
Our ABBA Knight patch
was made available for purchase and we currently have about 20 on hand.
Your prompt attention
to buying one would be appreciated. They are $35.00.

made some ABBA Knight
