Let me start by thanking Jeff "Grasshopper" Reddick for making us a great meal for our meeting.
Now to update you on the Eastern district Swap Meet:
We have 5 confirmed vendors for the swap meet. Bob and I went around Rocky Mount and placed flyers at area businesses and stopped by a few including Rocky Mount Harley Davidson to invite them to join us this year.
If you have a vendor that may be interested have them contact me, everyone is welcome.
We still need to put flyers in other areas. If anyone can get them out around Goldsboro, Wilson, Greenville & Kinston that would be a huge help. The more exposure we can get the better our chances aof a successful event.
We will be marking the vendor spots on Thursday April 29th. And we are looking for volunteers to sit periodically at the TRB booth. Then everyone will have a chance to walk around and enjoy the event.
The Bike Game Committee is looking to do a Weeney Bite contest, A Straight Line Ride, A Bike Wash etc. They are looking to charge $5.00 for all events and $1.00 for extra chance rides. We will come up with times for these events once Bob can talk to Matt about the times for our Wet T'shirt contest.
Health News: I have been recently notified that Ron Jansen, past Leg Coordinator for TRB is in Wayne Memorial Hospital with a terminal illness. I ask that each TRB send thinking of you cards or maybe make a visit to see him and Kate through this difficult time. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
Thier address is:
Ron & Kate Jansen
104 Ridge Runner Dr Goldsboro, NC 27530
We are asking for help with local bike nights. We asked through Rocky Mount but nothing posted as of yet.
As soon as you see some information posted bring it to the next meeting so we can get it posted on our website.
Updates on our TRB Gun Raffle:
Tom, Sandy, Bob and I got all 900 tickets printed, stapled and ready for distribution to the members. $50.00 already turned in to Tom and he has given out 120 to date.
With the economy the way it is, I will not except any checks for the tickets this year. All tickets turned into Tom must be in cash. If you want to take a check from someone it must be made out to you and then you can turn in the cash.
I have been getting the paper ready for our events. I have the poker hand papers and registration papers for bike show done.
The bike show this year will be one winner of a BIG ASS TROPHY made by our own Stewart Vester.
Votes will be $1.00 that is plcaed in a jug placed in front of the bike of the voters choice. All proceeds made will go to Ron and Kate Jansen.
