Regular Meeting, July 18, 2007

HERE ARE THE SALES TAMMIES TEAMS

President Eva began the meeting by introducing guest Terry Smythe with whom all are acquainted. Terry was also our speaker for the meeting.

Attendance: 15 members, 1 guest.

After lunch, Eva, with an exhortation to "get moving on ticket sales," introduced the chairpersons of the Tammies Teams. The time is here, folks, so I guess we need to get cracking. In addition, some members were assigned names of sponsors to contact. A report is expected each week.

Speaker: Terry Smythe with an update on the 2007 Copperman Triathelon.

Though our club have pledged 7 volunteers, Terry could use another five to help in traffic control, etc.

There are presently 126 individual and 26 teams signed up of the event. The maximum number that can be handled is 165-200 individuals and 45 teams, a total of about 300 participants. Terry talked at length about the "new look" to the event. Fort example, parking at or near the event starting line will be limited at best and generally non-existent. Instead, parking will be available near the Community Building in downtown Copper Harbor with people being taken by trolley to the site. Above all, this will insure the safety of the cyclists as they leave and return to the starting line. In addition, the awards ceremony will be moved to another location and the awards plaque will be dedicated to the memory of the late Nick Bell.

The proceeds from the event will be given to the Copper Harbor Trails Committee to be spent in improving the various trails around Copper Harbor.

(Looking every bit the part of an old motorman, Frank will be at the Copperman Triathelon bringing people to and from the starting line. This should be interesting.)

Program Chair next week:
Ed Yarbrough
