Annual Meeting

The BMWRO held its annual meeting on October 3rd in Agate Beach, Oregon. 18 members attended. A nice luncheon spread was available, followed by presentations from our president and trustees.

   Our president Mike gave a recap of the previous year and discussed the success of this year’s Ride Oregon Rally and thanked all the volunteers who made it possible. 

   Results of our annual election were presented by Carol, with Mike Davis being selected as president, Carol Dallas as secretary and Kurt Miller as our newest trustee at large. Their terms will start January 1st. All other trustee positions remain unchanged. 

   Carol Dallas awarded a coveted lifetime member award to Joy Cesafski for her continuous commitment to the club and tireless efforts to improve the experience of all club members. Congrats Joy!

   VP Dave Chmieloweic gave an update on upcoming activities, look elsewhere in this letter for more information. 

   Chris Wallace gave a brief update on the Beemer Beat. Always looking for content, however due to issues with the email software please limit photos to five per article. 

   Finally there was a drawing for door prizes, nifty little display boxes with a GS resting inside. Much thanks to Leesa Davis for creating these.

   We adjourned, and reconvened several hours later in the lounge at the Allred Hotel in Nye Beach. We had a beautiful spread of appetizers provided by your club. This was a great chance to visit with other members to discuss previous and future events.

   Thanks to Mike Davis for arranging this fun and informative event.
