We started the meeting by letting members know about Tom Mclaughlin. Tom has been feeling bad in the past weeks and finally went into get checked after a long ride to Virginia to see his mom. Tom ended up having a pace maker and defibrillator put in. Tom came home from the hospital on 3-20-10.

update: Bob and I went to see Tom 3-28-10 and he is recuperating nicely. He is following drs. orders (I know this is hard to believe but Sandy verified it) and is resting in between shorts walks to the shop.

Keep your prayers up for a speedy recovery and hurry back Tom and Sandy.....

Patsy and Mike Bullock will be doing bike nights with Doobie and are asking for volunteers to show up at the events to help with the distribution of trifolds. We are hoping this will help with recruiting new members.

John Vaudo has talked with Rocky Mount City Hall and Tarboro City Hall about making May Motorcycle Awareness Month in both towns. The proclamation for Rocky Mount is April 12th at 7:00pm. We will meet at Sams at 6:30 to ride together. If you can't make it to Sams please still go on to the Town Hall and meet us.

TRB Gun Raffle:

If anyone needs tickets for the gun raffle please get up with Bob. We still have alot to sell. Remember, we will only accept cash for tickets. You can accept a check but it must be made out to you and cashed when you turn in your tickets to Tom.

We voted on a band for the gun raffle and we chose Pleasure2Burn. This is the band that we had at our christmas party.

We really need door prizes and auction prizes. You can drop them off to Wendy and we will pick them up. Make sure to get a business card or write down the name and address of person making the donation so that I may put their name out and send them a thank you letter after raffle.

The food will be hamburgers and hot dogs and they will be supplied by TRB.

Side dishes will be needed by volunteers. We will have a sign up sheet at the next meeting for food.

We will need volunteers to sit at tables for both events.

Lets get this done and have a great party.

See you at the next Leg meeting on April 21st.
