2009 UC Annual Meeting and Election of Officers

eventhough · 05-23-09, 10:02 PM

UC will be holding its Annual Meeting Sept 19. I assume it will be at Aunt Sues on Hwy 11 in Pickens Co - will have to check. At the same time we have our Officer elections to see who will run the club for the next year.

How this works is we first have nominations. Please PM or email me @ steve.springs@gmail.com your nominations. If the person you nominate accepts then they will be in the running for that position. The person you nominate has to accept. You may nominate yourself. I'll take nominations until about 2 months out from the Annual and then I'll post up the names in the running for votes.

I'll be stepping down as President next year. It's been real.

Here are the positions up for election.

President
Vice-President
Secretary
Treasurer
Land Management
Safety Officer
Events Officer
Delegate to TLCA
Low Country President
Low Country Vice-President

Have confirmed 15 for breakfast at Aunt Sues - said a few more might be coming too.

Come ready for the raffle. I'm going to pick up some prizes in the next week!

Here we are guys (and girls). Time to step up!

Up for elections.

President: Basically run the show. Working with all other officers making sure that all the bases are covered. A good president should be willing to listen to it's members needs.

Vice President: Assist the President in doing all the above. Fill in when the President is not available and to make club decisions pending approval from the president.

Secretary: Will be responsible for making sure the President and Vice President have not forgotten anything , sending out new member packets, tracking member dues dates, selling and maintaining merchandise.

Treasurer: As most of you know this is the money person. Mary Hardin has done a great job of keeping us in line and the money flowing. I'm pretty sure most of us will agree that this position is a given.

Land Management Officer: This person will work with state and local officials as well as other local clubs to help keep our trails open and preserved. This person will also work with the Events Officer to make sure we are where we should be and legally on the right trail.

Safety Officer: Someone who is willing to help make sure we stay safe while going on rides and has a good understanding of recovery.

Events Officer: Responsible for scheduling our events and making sure everyone is informed and included. This is not a position to be taken lightly. To me this person plays the most important role in our club. But done right it can be a very rewarding position.

BOD Delegate for TLCA: Willing to sit in on monthly conferences with all TLCA chapters and officers. Work with the TLCA to help promote our club as well as provide a vital link between UC members and TLCA. Help promote the benefits of being a TLCA member. Give UC feedback to issues going on within TLCA.

We are also adding two new officers this year. Considering we have a new sub chapter LowCountry Cruisers and they have been expanding we are adding a Sec/Tres and Events officer.
These will be:

LowCountry President: Runs the LC show. Schedules the events and works with UC to help promote the club.

LowCountry Vice President: Backs up the Pres with all duties.

LowCountry Sec/Tres: Keeps the books, assists LC Pres and VP.

LowCountry Events: Helps to plan events - tosses out new event ideas - pumps events on the LC and UC forums.

Here are our nominations that have been accepted so far. If I have left anyone out or put anyone in where they aren't supposed to be please let me know. I still have a few LC nominations out that I have not heard from.

Now is the time to throw your name into the mix. If you want to help out with UC and guide what UC does please step up.

boombapslappy · 08-04-09, 09:04 AM

Official change to the calander:

What: Black Balsam camping
When: Friday Sept. 11-13, 2009

What: Annual Meeting at Aunt Sue's
When: Saturday Sept. 19, 2009

Aunt Sue's will offer a buffet breakfast for us on Sat. morning at 10am but we must have at least 12 eating to make it worth while for the kitchen staff.

I'll edit as needed.

Breakfast (Aunt Sue's):
Steve
Marshall
John x 2 (maybe x 3)

Camping:
?

Trollhole · 08-04-09, 09:09 AM

I'm up for breakfast.

jleeFJ62 · 08-04-09, 09:12 AM

x2 breakfast maybe +1

eventhough · 08-04-09, 09:26 AM

Correction - I was just reminded by my iPhone that I am in Atlanta the entire weekend of the Annual for work so I won't be able to make it.

Carp · 08-04-09, 11:56 AM

The annual is also scheduled for the same weekend as the Beasley Bash (or at least, last I heard)...

Still true.

smkymntn · 08-04-09, 12:32 PM

Do we need to change the date?

Your pres your the final say. Maybe talk to LC and see what they can do about moving the date back. Dunno.

Hate we would plan an event on top of another clubs main event. GA Cruisers have been good to us.

This is all another good reason for all the clubs to get together every once in a while and plan out major events so stuff doesn't overlap.

BMThiker · 08-04-09, 02:53 PM

Yowsers, too much going on at the same time! I didn't realize that was the Beasley Bash weekend too. I second, Troll's idea of a SE Regional BOD Summit, maybe at the end of the calendar year, not too many events going on then. Only thing I've heard is the Ga Cruiser's Tellico Raffle Truck is going to be announced in December.

no lenny and squiggy here....THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!!!!

I was planning on three back to back events.......19th Annual UC, 26 LC Boil, 3 Oct a Biker Party I co host. Lowcountry Boil dates have been set for months and been on our calendar since then.

boombapslappy · 08-04-09, 07:18 PM

Beasley is the reason we originally scheduled the annual for the 19th. We didn't want to step on toes and/or perhaps wanted to attend the bash as well as annual.

No email has been sent yet.

Trollhole · 08-04-09, 08:45 PM

Lol this sounds like some of the stuff I used to do. Just cannot please everyone.

You Steve I'm cool with whatever as I'm sure most of the rest are. Plus I hear we have some sweet stuff to raffle away at the annual.

Like what - a carb?

Brock · 08-05-09, 06:10 PM

smog kit off 60

dbenke · 08-05-09, 08:24 PM

I was planning on the 19th. I have a scouting conflict on the 12th.
I will probably be up in that area, but w/ a backpack on and far away from the 62.
The original date would be my vote.

boombapslappy · 08-07-09, 10:17 AM

New plan:

The camping trip with delta will remain the same.

The Annual Meeting is moved back to Sept. 19th.

Very sorry for the confusion. The annual has been on the calander for quite some time and we've (BOD) have decided to keep with the original plan.

We'll make sure we do a better job next year. An email will be sent out shortly regarding the camping trip to Black Balsam as well as the annual. If you do not receive an email, please click here and update your contact info.

Gundy · 08-12-09, 07:44 AM

Spoke to Eric and changed the date from the 12th to the 19th. Ya'll need to confirm the minimum of 10 for a breakfast. 878-4366
Alas, I'll be out of town for this meeting. It will be the first annual we've missed in over a dozen years.
Ya'll have fun!

Brock · 08-12-09, 08:00 AM

I will be there...

smkymntn · 08-12-09, 11:26 AM

Wont be able to make it due to Daughters 11th birthday :(

Mongofj60 · 08-12-09, 09:23 PM

Won't be able to make it either, thought it was the 12th. Mike is flying in from Utah for the Clemson/Boston College game. First annual meeting I've missed in 10 years. Y'all have a great time.

smkymntn · 08-13-09, 06:47 AM

I will try to make her party the week before, I will let you know
