MRHOG Members’ Meeting Minutes, July 10, 2021

Officers Present:

Sebrena Edmison, Shelly Margheim, Tammy Taylor, Marla Merryman

The membership meeting was called to order at 11:00am by Sebrena.

Welcome new members, Ed and Micky Melendez.

Safety report/topic (presented by Sebrena):

When riding in the heat it is extremely important to stay hydrated. Hydration vests are comfortable and effective. HD’s vest is only $50. Wear a long sleeve, light colored shirt. If you have a water bottle handy with a squirt top, spray yourself down. The neck cool scarves are also great. You should carry water, Gatorade or Pedialyte with you, take frequent breaks and stay hydrated. Another member stated they get cool (as in temperature) underwear off an on-line company, LD Comfort.

Treasurer report:

Shelly reported there is $2.666.86 in the bank account. The picnic profit was $158.

Membership report:

Tammy reported we have 63 current members.

Sebrena encouraged members to check their profile on the HOG website. It appears that not everyone is receiving all the emails. On the website you can also check rides, challenges, programs, etc. You can also add the app to your phone which according to one member gets your HOG id card uploaded so you can have quick and easy access to it for events.

Activity report:

The picnic was a hit. Thanks to all who attended.

Thank you to the co-activity officers for all they do. Sebrena highlighted that they shop for our raffle gifts which is a constant money maker for our chapter, although the profit is small. Currently discussing and researching other avenues to generate additional revenue with the goal to get the per person price down on the Christmas buffet.

Feel free to share your photos with Sid Street to post on our blog (motherroadhogchapter.blogspot.com). If you send him about 15 pictures (max) and a little blurb about your ride (destination, etc) he will be sure to get them posted.
