February 19 meeting minutes
The meeting was called to order at 7p by Shane. Appreciation was expressed by all present to Prinnie-Mack Coffee Co. owners & operators: Steve & Kathy Pollitt, and their son Aaron Pollitt, for allowing CGC to utilize Prinnie-Mack for our meetings.
Reading of January's meeting minutes by Diana Waldon. Diana reminded all present of the initiative and participation in the Relay for Life event May 16-17 at the Ga. National Fairgrounds in Perry, Ga. CGC is a registered team and encourage all cyclists, i.e., this is NOT "club exclusive", in the area to join our effort to raise money for the American Cancer Society. CGC will again have a camp site for anyone interested in riding with us to set up your own support, bring a chair and camping equipment, and enjoy the fun as we raise money for a wonderful cause. This is a self-supported ride as much as you can for 12 hours event to raise money and awareness.
Open & old business:
CGC Charter ~ members voted to adopt as amended.
CGC By-Laws ~ majority vote to adopt By-Laws as amended with one vote against adoption. No recommendations or motions were brought to the membership for amending, however, so articles were adopted as amended.
New business:
Relay for Life participation ~ May 16-17. Anyone can join the CGC Relay for Life team at: http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?pg=team&fr_id=8355&team_id=208056 .
New CGC Membership fees for 2008 ~ $20 for individual, $25 for family. The increase in fees is to offset the expense of the website and t-shirts.
Spring Picnic ~ Steve and Debby Kinman have volunteered to host the picnic at their home sometime before May. Members agreed this was very gracious of Steve and Debby and voted to have the picnic there. A time will be worked out in the next few days and will be posted on the CGC website, e-mailed to members, and sent out via CGC Yahoo groups. The picnic is exclusive to CGC members and guest, and sponsors and guest.
Volunteers for race support ~ The Perry road race, part of the Georgia Cup race series will be March 15-16 and a call for volunteers was made. 5 members expressed interest in helping out and Shane will be contacting the race organizers for more information.
CGC president election ~ Coling Whelan and Dave Sexton spoke to members regarding each one's views and goals for CGC's future and answered questions from members. A paper ballot vote was taken, no hanging chads were discovered, but a re-count was performed to satisfy anyone who moved up from Florida. The result was Dave Sexton winning by majority vote with no objections from members. Shane passed the CGC President "seal", basically a beer opener, to Dave and thanked members for the opportunity of being CGC president the last few months.
Dave made the motion that Colin represent CGC as vice-president, Colin agreed, the motion was seconded and passed by majority vote by the members.
BK will remain as CGC Treasurer.
No motions were made as to who will be Secretary or CGC webmaster at this time, but Shane will continue maintaining the CGC website until this can be voted upon by the members at the next meeting.
Announcements ~
CGC members will be meeting at 6am this Saturday, Feb. 23, at the Cracker Barrel in Perry for breakfast before caravaning to Cochran for the Biking Bleckley Metric Century ride.
CGC hosting a metric century was brought up for further discussion. No decision was made yes-or-no until this item can be further discussed by the new club officers.
The meeting was adjourned by Dave Sexton at 8:10pm.
