Wicked Pissah Cruisah Haulah a NLC.
Just wanted to drop a note and check in with you all on where Yankee Toys stands in the new year.
I feel that all and all last year was pretty successful.
We expanded the schedule for those of our members looking for more meets.
We did some different things such as OEX and Gretchen's in the summer.
Expanded our reach through social networking via facebook and twitter and found great support from not only our members but from our sponsors. More importantly we made it easier for potential new members to find us and see what we are doing.
We revamped our membership application form to learn more about our members and will continue to streamline the process to make it easier for new members to join.
Yankee Toys found itself incorporated last year, which I felt was a huge step in the correct direction for the club. We have our own bank account now and Paypal account that makes all things money much easier to deal with.
Together we threw together a great Fall Gathering that saw good numbers,
despite a forecast of nothing but rain....per usual
.
We are far ahead of the learning curve now and will continue to move the club forward and grow.
BUT........
There has been some changes within our BOD.
Sheri has decided to step down as both our Secretary and event coordinator due to some scheduling conflicts in the upcoming year.
We are sad to see her go but we owe her a great thanks for staying with our new group of BOD members and helping us move in the right direction.
We thank both Larry and John for their service to YT as NEA reps.
However due to their personal schedules they also will be leaving their positions.
We are more than happy to announce that Jon D. (remy1974) will be filling our much needed Trail Leader position.
A big thanks to Eric (Vfrer) for filling one of our delegates positions and to Rick (Highcountrycruiser) for filling both the NEA delegate position and the TLCA position.
So our vacant positions are as follows-
*Secretary -Voting Position- Helps manage the MUD forum, keeps notes from meetings and assists the BOD in executing votes and other BOD business
*Events Coordinator -Voting Position- Spearheads event planning, generally the Event Chair for Fall Gathering.
I would also like to add two non voting positions this year as well and we can vote as a club on that at the spring meeting.
*Sponsor Relations Rep. - Non Voting Position - Involved in strengthening the relationship with our sponsors, updates our sponsors with club news through social networking. Sends out donation requests for Fall Gathering and works with event coordinator on the raffle.
*TLCA Rep. - Non Voting Position - Involved in keeping Yankee Toys updated of matters within the TLCA, works to keep the TLCA involved with our club by sending out notifications of club news.
We can only do so much as a BOD in our current situation.
The bottom line is we need people to step up.
If you have any time to give to this club please contact me.
If you have an interest and just want to chat with me about the position you may be interested in please drop me a line.
I'm just putting the finishing touches on our 2012 Wheeling Schedule and look forward to making some cool new announcements in the next few weeks.
Thanks for your time,
Bob
