Officers Reports:
Director – Ron Matthews, It has been hot so remember to stay hydrated. If out riding and feeling bad pull over in a shady spot and cool down.
At the last District 8, at Post 78 we did not get the Participation Plaque. We needed more members there, thank you to the ones that did attend. Post 6 took the plaque till the next meeting to be held on 14 October at Post 25 in Cottonwood.
Ron brought up that many riders do not attend meetings and would like everyone to reach out to those and find out why. Meetings are only once a month for 2 to 3 hours.
For you Indian Riders, 15 July Go AZ Motorcycles in Scottsdale is having Great Summer Cookout. Take a test ride and get a free gift.
Discussed the idea of holding a raffle with the Auxiliary.
Other upcoming events, Monty Packard is a member of the Prescott Regulators and their Shady Ladies. They will be holding a Fundraiser on 5 August at the Jersey Lilly Saloon. The money raised will donated to the Yavapai Collage Veterans Scholarship program.
Asst. Director – John Moffitt, Looking for a Location Coordinator for Wreaths Across America, if no one is found soon there might not be an event this year at PNC.
Have not heard back from Walmart and have no way to track the request. Will contact ACE Hardware to try and move it there.
