Meeting Minutes —March - 2005
Tuesday, March 8, 2005

The meeting was called to order at 7:06 p.m. by President, Farieda Reardon. There were 13 members present. Farieda thanked those who participated in the Front Street Park cleanup the past weekend, and asked who had the Keep Brevard Beautiful bag and info on who to report to with results of the clean-up.

OLD BUSINESS:
A discussion was held on guest speakers and it was decided that we would schedule  them quarterly. If anyone would like to have any  additional speakers they can coordinate with the president on such issues. Lou Lemire agreed to be the technical support speaker this year.

NEW BUSINESS:
The idea of a newsletter/flyer was discussed and voted upon. We will put together and distribute to watercraft dealers to give out to new buyers. Appointed contacts to each dealer will be as follows: Lou Lemire - Beach Sportcycles, Tom Wilson and Fran Miron - Spaceport Cycles, Andy Ziegler - House of Power, and John Reardon - Champions. Occasional visits by contacts to check on quantity of newsletters on-hand should help remind them to pass these out.

Andy made a motion that was voted on and carried to offer a free six month membership to all new buyers of watercraft to the club as an incentive for these new owners to renew and join SCJR.

Picnic dates were announced for  Saturday, April 30, Sunday July 10 and a third date to be announced. As of now, all will be held at Sebastian Iinlet State Park.
