CVMA Meeting Agenda
8 October 2006
September 24th Regional meeting in
New Hampshire
:
- Life
membership requirements: 1 sanctioned (B.O.D.) run per year…3
sanctioned runs over a 3 year period…one of them being the
Nationals.
- Protocol
and MC 101 are required reading for ALL and new members.
- Chapters
are allowed 1 Support member for every 5 Full-Members. In order to be
a Support member, you must have known your sponsor for at least 6
months, or attended 3 rides with the CVMA members of that Chapter.
- The
State Representative will verify any State Membership DD214 before any
applications go foreword.
- State
patches are being made and can be worn ONLY on the front of the vest
or jacket. Patches may be in the form of state abbreviations. R.I.,
Ma.
Ct.
- There
will be NO more extra Chapters formed per State. In the event a larger
state has members from areas in different locations across the state,
they will become “Detachments” of that Chapter (Pockets of
membership).
- NCOM
(National Coalition of Motorcycles) has been approved by the B.O.D.
and the national CVMA organization has joined the NCOM group. It is up
to individuals and Chapters to join NCOM if they want to, but be
advised such MC organizations such as Bandito’s,Outlaws,and 1%
Mc’s also belong to this NCOM organization. Red & White will not
support NCOM.
- Communication
to Board of Directors will ONLY be through the State Representative.
No member should be e-mailing the B.O.D. members direct.
- The
Rhode Island
Chapter will Host the 2007 Regional meeting next year and we must
start preparation for this NOW!
Issues:
The drop off donation run for the Hasbro Children’s Hospital will be
on Monday October 16th at
11am
. The staff cannot support a weekend run and can only schedule a weekday
drive. Everyone is encouraged to attend, and we will meet that morning at
Bick fords parking lot off of
Jefferson Blvd.
at
9:30 am
. We will need at least one pick-up truck or Cager to haul the gift
bags…we have an approximate 80 gift bags to date. Any extra items will
be put together for a 1207th Family support group care package
drive in November and a Veterans Home drive for the December time-frame.
Again, another member of our organization had been pulled over by the
local Hells Angels MC. A meeting was to be planned and as of this time no
contact for a date and location has been made. It is my intent that we
reach out to any local MC’s and discuss our Mission and intent to ease
any threat of our presence by any motorcycle clubs. We have made contact
with the
R.I.
State
Police in regards to our organization in the same regards. A business card
with our website should be carried by our members for this type of
situation.
E-Mails:
The
Adjutant General and I would like to take this opportunity to thank
everyone who attended the welcome home ceremony for the 43d MP Bde on
Sunday morning. The turnout was fantastic and the overall show of
support was outstanding. It is imperative that we continue to be
there, both coming and going, to pat them on the back, to shake their hands and to wish them well. Again
thank you very much for your attendance Sunday and for what you do each
and every day in support of this program.”
Colonel
Brian W. Goodwin the Chief of Staff RI Army National Guard.
