Our Chartered Club Info - Time to Update?
Posted: Sun Mar 01, 2009 11:58 am
All,
Received my MOA Anonymous Book yesterday and noticed that our club information appears to be out of date. This prompted me to look at our listings with the national organizations online. Here is our listing from the BMW MOA web site's Chartered Clubs section (http://www.bmwmoa.org/club/chartered_clubs):
club: . . . . .Blue Ridge Beemers, #173 founded: 6/1/1987
contact: . . Chuck Auckerman (BlueRidgeBeemers@aol.com)
. . . . . . . . .PO Box 8081
. . . . . . . . .Charlottesville, VA 22906-8081 US
. . . . . . . . .hometown.aol.com/blueridgebeemers/
meetings: . 1st Sunday rides each month, see club website for time and location.
events: . . . Easter on the Blue Ridge, Easter weekend. Contact Steve Coburn for details 434-974-7069
Our club listing on the RA site (http://bmwra.org/clubs/) appears to be up to date.
Is it time to update our club listing with the MOA? What about charter renewal and associated fees for MOA and RA? I'll be glad to handle the MOA renewal/update, if necessary. Please let me know if our charter is up for renewal and hasn't been done yet. If someone has already taken care of it, I will gladly chip in to help cover any renewal fees. I don't know the renewal process for RA, but I'm willing to help with that as well.
I think we need to update the web site URL (change to blueridgebeemers.org since AOL Hometown has been shut down) and the "events" information, at minimum. Sadly, Steve Coburn is no longer with us according to this thread http://blueridgebeemers.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=153 (R.I.P. Steve - never met you, but wish I had). Also, I'm not sure if Chuck's contact info is correct, but it doesn't match the BMW RA listing, which appears to be more current.
Since we need to update our MOA listing anyway, I propose that we rename the event: "Easter on the Blue Ridge - Coburn Memorial Ride" and update the contact info (maybe put "see web site/forum for details" or I'd be willing take this on and we can list my phone and e-mail). We should also consider adding the ride down to Willville as an annual event since we had such a great time last year (see http://blueridgebeemers.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=325).
So, did anyone ride today? Not me. Too sloppy out there. I don't mind the cold, but draw the line at snow and ice...
