Update
We had a good meeting yesterday, although attendance was a little less than we had expected. I will have the minutes completed, and sent out to the distribution list as soon as possible.
We set up a ride committee to get the ride agenda underway. We have to develop an agenda for the year to submit to the National office, and we are going to develop an annual ride that we can call our own to use as a promotion for the charity we have adopted as our own. I will devote a post to that later.
A special congratulation to Jean Sanders who has agreed to be our LOS Rep. There are a lot of women out there riding, and we hope to welcome some of them into our organization. Jean will sit on the Executive Board, and we are proud to have her there.
Our Yahoo Group has already become active, and it looks like it is going to work better than I had hoped.
After the meeting yesterday, Greg Sandstrom (our Sergeant-At-Arms) put on his Road Captain hat, and led us on a ride that went through Shelton, and over to the Little Creek Casino (where the Northwest Star-B-Q will be held in August). We enjoyed a fantastic breakfast/lunch before heading back toward home. The Port Townsend contingent (including our Tail Gunner, John Galle) broke away to head up to their neck of the woods while the rest of us enjoyed the ride home along the canal and through Belfair.
Notice
Brothers Power Sports (our sponsor) is running a special for our members that includes 25% off the cost of all V-Star accessories in stock, 10% off for special orders on V-Star accessories, and 10% off all other accessories in the store. If you can think of something you need or want for your scooter, this might be a good time to consider that purchase. In any case, take the time to thank them for providing a place for us to meet, as well as donuts, juice and coffee. We appreciate their generosity.

In the meantime
I am still putting the meeting information and ride together before I post it here, but I have taken a suggestion from Christopher to set up a place to exchange comments that is a little easier than the blog. The link is http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/bremstars/, so take some time to go over there and get the discussion rolling. I will post the link on the sidebar of the blog with our other favorites.
If you don't have a yahoo account, you will probably have to fill out the profile (it is free). I checked out a couple other free forums, but I am familiar with yahoo groups, and I think this will work well for us. You can opt to have every post sent to your email address, so you will know when there is something new posted on the group.
If you didn't make the meeting this morning, we missed you.
Slapper took down the 50/50...way to go, Girl.

Pete's comment
Pete left a comment on the last post saying that we will attempt a ride after the meeting Saturday.
I checked the weather prediction for the week on Yahoo, and they say it will be warm and cloudy.
Make sure your insurance is paid up, and be prepared to show your valid endorsement. We will get our required ride waivers filled out for the year.
Remember to fill your gas tank before you get to the meeting.
Stay safe.

We ARE official
Pete let us know yesterday that our charter has been signed by the folks at STAR International, so Bremerton, WA Chapter 403 is officially official. Now we can concentrate on all the fun things ahead.
He also said that our patches should be showing up sometime in March.
Have you checked out the message boards on the STAR website? There is a lot of good information being shared about upcoming events, and tech related stuff for every model of star bike out there. It you haven’t gone in there to see what is available, you should. It is there for you to use and enjoy.
Keep the shiny side up…

After thought
After the meet-up at Jimmy D's, some of us took a short jaunt down to Allyn to check out the biker wear shop. We were pleased to find a lot of basic items at a great price, and I am sure that each of us will go back to buy something we need.Kris and Roy are the owners of the shop, and they are good people. When you get the itch to dust off the bike, make sure Allyn is on your list of places to visit.
Need patches sewn on? Bring your stuff to Twisted Angel (they are in the same building as the chainsaw art).

New Links
Larry and Mona Hering will be riding to Laughlin, Nevada for the 2007 Laughlin River Run (April 25th-29th), and they are looking for interested riders to go along. If you are thinking about going, leave a comment here, or let Richard Huff know, and we'll get all the details for you.
If you aren't familiar with this event, there is a new link on the sidebar that will take you to the website. Check out the photo galleries.
The link to the NorthWest Star-B-Q is also there for those of you planning ahead.
I am sure we will talk about these events at the February meeting, but you don't have to wait to get more information.
We also have the links to our family of Star Chapters in Washington State (that we could find links for), so check them out.

The gathering was good
The meet-up at Jimmy D’s was a total success! We had more than twenty people show up, and it was another great opportunity to put names and faces together. The staff at Jimmy D’s did an excellent job of setting up an exclusive area for us, and the service was top notch.
Pete talked about the need to develop a ride schedule for the year (each chapter is required to do this), so we will ask for some volunteers to serve on the “Ride Committee” (three to five members would be perfect).
Bill Culbertson agreed to step into the Treasurer position, so we are one step closer to being organized. We will also need one of the ladies to be our LOS Representative, so keep that in mind, and let Pete or Sue know if you are interested.
Our next meet-up has been scheduled for March 17 (right after the March meeting) at Greg and Diana Sandstrom’s in Port Orchard. The details will be forthcoming.
