New subject: March Meeting and Chairperson

26 Mar 2014

      Sorry Derek,
Someone else is gonna have to be in charge of the meeting.
Last chance for me putting together a meeting was last month but it
was thrown under the bus as the TAP folks had their own instead of
getting folks together and finding a new chair.
Cause as Robert Zimmerman said "No, No, No, it ain't me babe. / It
ain't me you're lookin' for, babe."

Services to next week's agenda?
Thanks,

April meeting is quickly closing in and we have heard nothing, nada, zip,
Someone needs to step up and take charge.
Bike Month will be here soon.
I regret to say that I'm not that person and as such I hereby tender
my resignation as Vice Chairman, effective immediately.

Perhaps folks are still thawing out?
I was planning to be there tomorrow (with stale Oreos from the meeting
I
missed last month).
Any kind of Oreo is good.

Sounds like finding a new chairperson is top on the list
for next meeting.
I would say that it needs to be on the top of the list before the
meeting!

We need to do some rallying of our troops.
Indeed.
Someone really needs to step up so the BikeBoard can get back on track
and move forward.

Looks like we have no real agenda.
And no one has stepped up to take the chairperson position.
We really need this to happen folks.
So since I was only alerted to one agenda item (from Jonathan) I will
say that the meeting is not going to happen.
It's okay, the TAP folks are having a meeting anyway tomorrow. If
anyone wants to join in on that I'm sure they'd be happy to have help.
The BB has been thrown under the bus...

Good day folks,
It's come to my attention that I'm not going to be able to make it
to
the March 6th meeting.
I'm going to consider this a good time for a new chairperson to be
appointed.
I suppose this probably isn't the best way for this to be done, but
I
also guess that it will just have to be.
If folks want to meet and discuss this as a group before the meeting
or whatever, I'm sure that can be arranged.
I'm not resigning from the board, but it is time that we have a real
chairperson.
Now everyone think a bit, then hopefully get outside to enjoy at
least
a modicum of this nice weather.
Gunnar.
