The current roster was passed around for any additions or correction. Members who would like a copy can request one by email to Steve Morris. You will need MS Exel to download. If that does not work for you then a paper copy can be mailed to any paid up member.

A reminder that members can always go to our website at www.mtaca3.org for the latest in upcoming events. Also, there are links both to SCMA and to our National Home Page which in turn has links about V-Daze 2004 in Colorado.

The Lompoc ride over February 28/29 is posted on the website. Photos will soon be uploaded. Dave Palmer was congratulated for a wonderful weekend. He also wrote the article about the weekend which has been submitted to Motorcycle Roads which will be in the next issue.

The Death Valley weekend for March 26/28 is also posted on the website. It also was a great weekend except for the howling winds Friday afternoon and evening! Steve Morris and his son Kimo wrote the article for the website and it has been submitted to Motorcycle Roads and may end up in the same issue as the previous ride.

Sunday April 18 many of us attended the Miller Children’s Hospital Benefit sponsored by SCMA. Over $1000 was raised for the hospital. Our member Mike Betchart is also a member of the Victor McLaughlin Drill Team and they put on a wonderful show both for the riders and the kids from the hospital who came out to watch and enjoy. The VMDT does this for free as a service to the community.

Request that any and all members consider sponsoring a one-day ride, either Saturday or Sunday. Morning, afternoon or evening. There is very little time needed to put this together and our more experienced members will be happy to lend assistance to the neophytes.
