Meeting: TUESDAY October 16, 2007 7:30 PM Hi Everyone, Well, our season opener got rained out, but not our determination. The Moonlight Ride has been rescheduled for Saturday, October 27th. We had a productive meeting with some new members, "Welcome", and many regulars. We will be presenting a check for $1000.00 to the town of Cave Creek dedicated to the trail system. Shannon outlined the upcoming rides for September through December. Anyone wanting to introduce the club to any new destinations please let Shannon know for the spring season. Barb discussed the scheduled events through December, ending with the Christmas Ride at Bumble Bee. All rides and events are scheduled on the website with a link to RSVP. Please use our Eventer to let us know if you are attending, and while you're there, check out the wonderful job Andy did on the rest of the website. Kudos! See you on the trails! Susan NOTES FROM OUR NEW EVENT COORDINATOR Hi everyone. I'm Barb Ciocchetti, also known as "Safeway Barb", since I worked at the Tatum & Cave Creek store for 10 years. Now I'm retired--yea. I already know most of you, but look forward to meeting those of you that I don't. I'm excited about being the Event Coordinator & hope that we can have a lot of fun with lots of participation from all members. I'm open for suggestions, & would also appreciate any help you'd like to give. We have a fun filled schedule through December, & some great plans for 2008. I hope to see you all soon.
