I'll try to write up a meeting report tonight or tomorrow. I've been out of town.
Meanwhile, can anybody identify this masked man? Somebody said Geordie from Startrek Next Generation, but I don't think so, although he is "warped."

COASTAL CRUISER MEETING FEBRUARY 9,2006
We met at Moxie’s Restaurant at the Sandman Hotel at 3233 St. Edwards St. in Richmond at 6:00 pm for supper. They refer to themselves as “upscale casual.” Actually it is a good place, the food is good, prices ok, and the servers are every bit as attractive as Earl’s. In fact, Dr. Rob even hung around later for quite a while chatting with our server while the rest of us shivered outside!
The meeting convened about 7:45 with the following members present:
Greg B, Jim & Lindsay C, Garry C, Marcin C, Bruce D, Norm F, Clarence G, Chris H, Rod McD, Mike McT, Dr. Rob, Mike N, Brad R, Phil S, Steve S, Steve T, Jeff S, Martin S, Gary T, Bill W.
Guests: Rob Mullen & Karr Smith.
Agenda:
1) Cruiser Days will be named something else since that is a Toyota Dealer identified Trademark. Allstone will be the Committee Coordinator. Phil will supply the power plant and Audio equipment, Jim, Lindsay, and Denny will do T-shirts, Dr. Rob will be Master of Ceremonies, Steve T will negotiate with Toyota Dealers, Greg B will do First Aid if he’s not working. WE URGE ALL MEMBERS TO GET ACTIVE AND PARTICIPATE IN DEVELOPING THIS PROJECT. WE NEED EVERYBODY’S HELP TO MAKE IT SUCCESSFUL. We still need to address things like parking attendants, canopy tents with tables & chairs, raffle ticket sales and prizes, food sales, booths, other sponsor prizes, site rental and insurance, posters, Toyota Trail advertising, camping & wheeling organization, and more.
2) We talked about this month’s successful Clear Creek Run, and the oncoming “Forbidden Mtn” run, River Shiver, May Big Bar run May 20-22 to Churn Creek Provincial Protected area near the Gang Ranch, Whipsaw and Cascade Wilderness area, Yalacom R. and Swartz Lake, Quesnel Canyon, and possible more local trips to Margaret Pass and Chehalis Lake TBA.
3) The VHF radios worked well on the Clear Creek Run Jan 28, even just using the rubber duck antennas. It is hoped that other members will get their HAM qualifications and new radios in the near future. For course information, contact Ron Kolody at ronk@telus.net.
4) Greg Bowie spoke about the possibility of establishing a Fraser Valley Chapter of CC. Dr. Rob pointed out that we probably need to talk to TLCA about this to make sure that a new Chapter would be recognized. In any case, leadership is needed if this idea is to fly.
5) The meeting raffle was dominated by Mike McT when he won first and second prizes of combination wrench sets. Gary T won the tap & die set. Also quite a few spare parts for FJ60 engines were given out, donated by Keith Kisselback.
The meeting broke up around 10:30 as members drifted off into a haze of diesel smoke, while across the street, desperate hopeful gamblers fed their rent money into the one-armed bandits in pathetic attempts to beat the River Rock house odds and overhead the 737s careened toward their programmed destiny at YVR.

Thanks for the report, Bill!
I know I usually stick needles into people, but once in a while, I can be convinced to apply a band-aid or two and provide some emergency first aid.
I've got a good kit in the 74...so we should be okay for that.
Also, Clarence is going to be the assistant coordinator for this event.
"Cruiser Days is a Toyota Dealership Trademark"?!? Has Gord or Dan at JP mentioned this to someone between the last Cruiser Days and now? Prior to Cruiser Days 2005, I spoke directly to both Gord and Dan and asked them if they mind if we use the same name for the event. As far as I can recall, they gave us their blessings...and this was never a problem. Come to think of it...I'm going to drop by JP and visit them tomorrow.
Please keep an eye on the Cruiser Days 2006 thread for updates...and please post ideas, questions, concerns, etc. rfe. the event in that thread. Thanks!

I told you Stone would be a better Medic then I
Seriously, if anything happens, we will work in tandem and assist, as anyone would.
Going Coastal: Cruizer Daze....
Our own, nothing to do with Cruiser Days of old, and could be considered phat. Credit goes to Rod M.
Raffle is offered by Petra, and if I read that right...she suggests any other Cruizer Chick can offer in and assist.
Thanks for the write-up Bill.

I ain't wearing a white uniform for you though, Greg. Are you able to "borrow" a portable defib from work to bring to the show? You never know...standard food fair are hotdogs and burgers. That might be enough to send someone over the edge.
