Next Meet-up
We have scheduled a meet-up for April Fool's Day at the Clearwater Casino. The plan is to meet somewhere in the parking area, and wander inside for an informal lunch. We haven't set anything up with the casino, so we are taking a chance that we can find an area that will seat all of those showing up. What the heck...it's supposed to be an adventure...right?
If Pete has anything to add, we'll put it up here or on the Yahoo Group. If you haven't joined the Yahoo Group, do it now. We will be using it to post pictures, links, and all discussions.
Stay safe...

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.
