Officer Reports and Voting
President:
Several new events were added last year and we will continue to add new locations and additional events in 2012…OEX training last year was a huge success. FG went smooth…requests were made for additional lighting and PA system. Walter Moses mentioned getting the PA system. Social media has been very positive and we attended GCLC and Bay to Blue Ridge to help establish good relations with some of the other Toyota Land Cruiser clubs in our region… we added 17 New members. Participation incentive winner is Larry Cooper. The BOD is working on streamlining operations so next leadership will have a clean blueprint when the reigns are turned over.
Open positions: Secretary and Raffle Chairperson/Coordinator
Proposal to waive the Fall Gathering fee for the BODs has passed. This will lower the cost for the BODs by the event fee only and will not cost the club any money. BODs are still responsible for all associated costs i.e. camping, bbq, etc.
Vice President:
We have created a new Sponsor letter and a strategic coordinated effort to support and target new and past sponsors. Anyone that would like to help with the follow-up and solicitation of sponsors is encouraged to email or PM Scott.
Participation is essential and will be rewarded!
