Toy Run was better than anticipated. Lots of participation in the different events – good effort on everyones part.
Raised about $100 less than last year. 226 blue tickets – the donate tickets gave approximately 601 toys with a total
of 289 bikes participating. Suzie – great job announcing prizes. Harold the new 50/50 was a great success. Thanks
Laura for organizing tickets and sales. We use/paid for 469 plates and basically covered food cost with money taken
at toy run. Frank asked that we give the ladies a hand for all their work.
Toy buying a week from Saturday but Salvation Army has it for the 3 rd. Voted to do it the 10th – be here at 9:30 and
Wal-Mart at 10 to shop.
Donna – Toy Run Acct $8,717.74 after everything is paid out. Pay out for food was to cover the tip. Wal-Mart is
giving us 10% this year rather than $200. Put back for insurance this year? Harold made a motion to hold $2000 out
for possible expenses. That would leave about $7,200 to spend. Seconded – voted – passed. Sold over 2,475 tickets.

Officer elections – John and Jimmy talked – proud of chapter – would like to move forward, with the chapters
consent, to ask the current officers to do it again and run for 2 consecutive years. By the time you get the experience
of one year you would be able to lead the next year with the knowledge gathered during the first year. Discussion
ensued with members asking questions that this is the way it will be from this point forward. Motion to have officers
