Steve,I don't understand why you would extend such a public invitation to such a small little place and without prior knowledge to the board. We do welcome membership input, but we always let the President, at a minimum know if our agenda will be compromised by a possibly extended meeting. Most of us on the board know how you feel about the donations, and this year we are voting on them one by one, instead of including in the budget. Not sure why you felt this drastic of a measure was necessary????Have a wonderful day!Pam CullopMobile[masked]On Thu, Feb 16, 2017 at 7:18 AM, Steve Watts <[address removed]> wrote:If we have learned anything from recent national elections, we have learned that it is important to make your wishes known in any organization that you care about.
GABA has many fundraising activities each year. These funds support our ride programs.
Many of you don't know that the GABA board donates approx $10,000 of your annual earnings to other clubs in lieu of creating our own ride programs. I have been advocating that we do not do this unless there is for a shared program that directly benefits members.
These donations do help the greater cycling community by funding other clubs.
We can do better! If you agree, please come to the board meeting and say so.
