OLD BUSINESS:
  1. International motorcycle show in Long Beach on December 14th-15th 2003 was paid for by Rick Butler who paid for 9 of the 11 shows held throughout the country. The shows were a great success and helped increase membership both locally and for national.
  2. Current membership list contains people who ride with the group but who have not paid their annual membership dues of $24 per household. It was decided that in order to participate in the Chapter's Christmas party you must be a dues paying member. It was also decided that reminder Emails will be sent to those who have not paid their dues, if their dues are not paid within the next 6 months they will be dropped from the list.
