First Indy BMW Club Meeting for 2020

First Club Meeting for 2020

Hello BMW Club,


I hope everyone is having a good holiday break. I am sending out a reminder for the next meeting on Saturday, January 25th at 1:00 pm. I’m not sure of the menu, so please stay tuned for further information.

It is also time for the Board to vote for President, go over the 2020 annual budget and address any other issues. I plan to have a Board meeting starting at 12:30. The January meeting is a club vote for two seats on the Board of Directors and to go over the 2020 calendar.

Happy New Year,
Joe H.

December 2019

The December meeting was hosted by Archey and Theresia Shearer in their home on December 7, 2019.

The club provided turkey and ham.  Members brought in a variety of delicious side dishes and desserts.  We know how to cook and ride great motorcycles! 

Joe Hochderffer brought the meeting to order at 7:15pm by thanking our hosts, the Shearers.

We did not have any new members present.

Next meeting is being hosted by Margie Ledgerwood at her home on January 25, 2019 at 1:00pm.

Joe reminds members that the Board of Directors has two open seats.  Jim Thatcher (who is standing in for Andy Clark) and Richard Snodgrass terms are ending.

Joe is requesting a Board meeting 30 minutes prior to the start of the scheduled 1:00pm meeting.

If anyone is interested in hosting a meeting in 2020 please let Joe know.
