SEPTEMBER 3, 2023
The September District 5 Meeting was held on Saturday, September 3rd, 2023. The meeting was on the game field for the District 5 Bike Games at Paradise Point in Ozawkie, Kansas, just prior to the games at noon, during the Labor Day Rally. The meeting was kept fairly short and informal, due to the district about to start the games.
Reports.
The Treasurer’s Report and Secretary’s report were waved due to needing to get moving forward with the games. The accounts are in good standing and were reported to the district. See the Secretary’s Report in the newsletter for the August District 5 Report.
Product Line Report: The district had much of the product out on display for the games. There are lots of new shirts and tank tops available for both men and women.
Old Business.
The December State Meeting and District 5 End of Year Party will be held on December 9th at the Moose Lodge 6621 Turner Dr., Kansas City, KS 66111. The party will begin at 7:00 pm, after the state meeting. We are still need of donations for door prizes, silent auction and party in a wagon for the End of Year Party. The band for the End of Year Party will be Craigzlist Killerz.
The new microphone was ready to go for the bike games at the rally.
New Business.
There was some discussion about looking into a new canopy to use for the sign-up area for the bike games at the rally. Obviously, it could be used for other purposes as well. It was decided to look into pricing one, and bringing the findings to the next district meeting for further discussion.
The Meeting was adjourned to start the District 5 Games.
