Regular May 2010 Board Meeting

Meeting Date May 26, 2010

President Al Gibbs called the meeting to order at 6:37 PM at Recreation Park. Those in attendance were President Al Gibbs; Co-Ride Chair Christine Van Dornick; Club Treasurer Ron McPheron; Board member Vince Kelley; Website Manager Scott Schaedel; and Publicity Chair Gary Gilbert. The following items were discussed:

1. Membership report: as of May 20, 2010, there are 126 households and 164 individuals total.

2. Treasurers Report: Ron reported the balance of the checking and money market accounts as follows: $24,689 in checking and approximately $16,000 in the money market accounts. Overall, because of one time computer and software purchases in order to transform the inventory process to a bar code from the previous paper ticket, the swap financial outcome was a loss of $200. This was offset by the success of the Arlington 500 in which 763 riders participated. The overall financial outcome of the 500 was not yet available since some invoices were outstanding yet.

3. AHBC Picnic site and date. The date of the picnic was switched to July 18 from the 11 to avoid a conflict with the Wheeling Wheelman picnic since many are dual members. Potential hosts for the picnic are Roger Hitchings or Barbara Pontrelli.

4. Al Gibbs announced that he would not be willing to serve as president for a fourth consecutive term. A slate of officers will be presented at the September meeting and the voted on by the General Membership at the October meeting. A committee was formed to begin to solicit interest for a new president. The Committee consists of Christine Van Dornick, Vince Kelley, and Gary Gilbert.

5. A June newsletter will be posted to the website. Diane Ghertner is coordinating the newsletter.

6. The commemorative brick purchased by the AHBC has been installed at Veterans Memorial Park in Arlington Heights. The triangular park is located between Chestnut and Walnut Streets south of Euclid in Arlington Heights.

7. There will be a Bike Safety Day on June 3, 2010, at Patton School in Arlington Heights. The safety event will involve helmet fitting and bike safety checks for students at the school. Club members are asked to volunteer to assist with this event. Contact Al Gibbs for more information.

8. The subject of how to make the membership stronger will be discussed at a future meeting. It will be the AHBC 40th anniversary in 2011.

The Board meeting adjourned at 7:21 PM. The general meeting followed with a presentation by Gary Gilbert on his 2006 bike trip to Idaho.

Respectfully submitted,

Christine Van Dornick,

Acting Secretary
