The next meeting is our annual election (Thurs, Oct 10). This is an open call for nominations for the next year. Our officers' terms start Nov 1 (actually delayed until after the rally since it is that first weekend). We are looking for people to fill all positions except the RideMeister. Tarek has graciously agreed to stay on since he loves to ride and doesn't mind inviting people to come along. So this is for the positions of president, vice president, treasurer, and secretary.
If you recall from last year, we didn't have anyone step up so I decided to be the 'club manager' and leave the positions of president and vice president open. As of now I still don't have anyone for any of the positions once again. I don't mind taking care of things but it would be nice to have some help. I could use someone who is more familiar with Facebook than me to post interesting articles and news more often than I do. Our current treasurer travels a lot and would like someone to take over for him.
Please consider stepping up to take a turn in keeping the club active. It really doesn't take much time and it isn't difficult. We are one of the oldest BMW motorcycle clubs in one of the largest cities in the US! We have about 150 paying members and about 30 to 50 people at our meetings each month. Think about taking a turn in a position in the club. Or nominate someone you know who might be willing. Most people won't self-initiate but will consider if asked. If you know of someone just email me and I'll ask them!

PS. I would like to hear some feedback about the "MeetUps" we have started in north and south Houston. I know lots of people can't make the monthly meeting on a Thursday evening so I started these meetups to kind of 'decentralize' the club and make it more convenient for people to get together and meet others.
