Left over business: Named officers:Frank Glamser-Vice President; Laurissa HendersonSecretary; Ken O'Malley and Frank Glamser are working the April 2011 Dogwood Trail Rally.
Frank has purchased pins for the rally. He has also secured the pavilion and shelter for use at the

to send a letter to RA for door prizes. RA membership was paid in June. Notice of the rally was
sent to BMWMOA to publish in monthly magazine ON. The music has been lined up. Fletcher
Clark is working on the dinner for Saturday night. The Smart Trainer from the BMWMOA
Foundation will be at the rally. It is a ride simulator. BMWROM has moved the rally to Turkey
Creek Water Park in Newton, MS from Askew's Landing in Edwards, MS. Door prizes are
needed. The Grand Prize is a helmet from Hebert's. The BMWROM is going to give a set of
tires as a second Grand Prize. What about a slide show at dinner? Paul and Betty Vegas will
handle the pancakes at breakfast. Gumbo on Friday night. No decision yet on field events. We
need lots of advertisement on the rally. Put posters at the Kickstand and Got Gear.
