APR 4 District Meeting
ABATE of Kansas District 5 Members:
With our district meeting being scheduled for this Saturday, I see no reason why we can’t conduct business as needed through means other than a physical meeting, after all we got to do what we can to protect us all and fall within issued guide lines. I know, we’re just a bunch of bikers, and guide lines are just that. But I want us all to be around a lot longer.
Instead of meeting somewhere (have got little to no suggestion from fellow district board members), I will be available and here to hold an on-line meeting using Skype. Skype is a FREE online application that allows voice and visual communication. I would need your phone number if participating by phone or email address if participating by computer. I’m not the most technological savvy person around, but do what I can, so send me the contact information you would like to use. Download Skype to your computer or Internet enable phone prior to the meeting.
Major points for having a meeting this month:
Power washing and painting the State office building in Perry.
Previously figured on starting April 18th with power washing and painting the next week. If we have no more than 10 people (on each side of the building) I think we could pull this off if anybody is willing to get out.
Paint for the building. State is leaving it up to District 5 to get the paint with multiple districts having contributed money for paint. Figure 15-20 gallons of paint needed, with price ranging from $450.00 to $850.00, depending on quality of paint (no, they are not all the same) and district 5 contributing to help cover this expense, with state picking up what districts do not cover. The ABATE state office building is an asset the organization owns, and we need to maintain it. Ugliest building in Perry. Need member input and participation.
May Fun Run for District 5. May is the official motorcycle awareness month for the country. Currently on hold for planning, don’t know what condition our condition will be. Can’t get out and coordinate with most of the businesses we might like to visit. Thought we could gather at 9:00 in the morning at a coffee shop, hit a couple of more coffee shops and maybe a couple of Bar and Grills closer to lunch time. Get completed fairly early in the afternoon. Need member input on this too.
ABATE state meeting for April has been moved to state office building, with only executive board members to be present if they so desire to be there. Say they are just mostly there to approve Labor Day Rally contracts and plans, with no other major decisions to be made. Brought up the possibility of on line meeting last month, many of the executive board are against it, guess they don’t care much about modern communications and options.
So, let me know, phone number or email by 11:00 am. Saturday if you would like to participate, and let any other members or interested parties know. Will reach out to you with the meeting participation information.
Thanks, and miss you all.
