MOA Chartered Club News

THIS FROM THE MOA CHARTERED CLUB COORDINATOR:


Dear Club Contacts,

This is just a quick note to update you on some items of interest. I am
going to make these bulleted comments. They are not in a specific order
other than some of the more important items are at the top of the list.
I also wanted to pass along that as of the last Board of Directors
meeting we have 216 chartered clubs.

Here are the bulleted items of interest:

. Vince, the editor of the ON magazine is really looking for new
contributors. He is also seeking help with reviewing items (gear,
accessories, etc) for the magazine. This is a great way to write about
your favorite ride, highlight activities and individuals in your local
club, and get some free publicity for your group. To reach him email
him at editor@bmwmoa.org. He is a nice guy and is looking to make the
ON better everyday.

. Look soon for the new Online Flea Market. At the BOD meeting
they said they were beta testing it now and probably by the time you
read this it will roll into production mode. (If you are like me I am
chomping at the bit.)

. Ray Zimmerman (Rayz@bmwmoa.org) is interested in hearing from
the clubs about adopting a general liability insurance policy to cover
the clubs. The cost per individual is a touch over $3.14 per active
(participating/involved) club member. This general liability would
cover all your functions except your rally, if you have one. To be
eligible for this insurance it will be an all-in, or all-out affair.
That means that all the clubs would have to participate. The costs
would be passed along to the clubs. The details will be worked out if
there is enough interest. If your club is interested and you have
specific questions please let me know so I can pass them on to Ray at HQ
or feel free to contact him directly. I would prefer if you copy me if
you do send them to Ray so that if another club asks the same question,
or as answers come out I can keep everyone informed.

. Several clubs have asked about a group buy on Internet services.
This was discussed with Scott, the web guy, and he felt that it would
not be a great idea as we have only limited resources. He did say
however he would put together a list if we want of some of the better
providers if your club is not happy with your web presence now and
needed some help.

. Another item of interest that the BOD is looking into is a
winter motel event along the lines of the IBMWR gathering at Branson.
Not so much a rally as a gathering. It would be a much lower key event
then the national. If your club members are interested in this please
respond to me so I can reply to the board.


That wraps up the news that I wanted to pass along to you. As it stands
now we will be having a Presidents meeting in VT at the national rally
but I am not sure of the time or location yet. I look forward to seeing
all of you there. I will be at the rally and I hope that all of you take
a moment to find me and say hello. As always I am here to serve you as
best I can. I want to hear from you and be your voice. As I said when
I took this position, I might not always get the answer you are looking
for but I will always get an answer.

Thank you again for the chance to serve you and I hope to see you all in
VT.
