What is SMASR???

MaineToo · February 01, 2004, 06:06:46 AM

I think any and all of it is great. Give me a couple of days though. I want to see if we can get two things:

1. Some direction from FTR in reference to a meeting place. Maybe they have or use one.
2. A person from FTR to attend our first meeting.

Also I have the use of a large meeting room. Only problem is that the location sucks. It is on US 41 in Sarasota. Right by Sarasota Memorial Hospital. Hard to get to from the interstate although as a one shot deal who cares I guess. We don't have to use it all the time, maybe just for the first meeting. Hey, what about one of the motel/hotels near an intersate exit? Don't they often have meeting rooms that you can rent and sometimes use for free? I'll check in to all these possibilities in the Sarasota area and let you know by Thursday. A couple of you check out the motel meeting room situation around SR 64 and I-75. That OK with everyone?

BTW... rainy weekends suck!

As far as SMASR for a club name ... I think it is a good suggestion but one of the topics for the first meeting needs to be the name for the new club. Everyone that plans to attend the first meeting bring a few name suggestions and we will look at them all together.

I dont know about everyone else,but I work until 5, how about early evening or a weekend?

john holmes · February 01, 2004, 09:17:16 PM

Im in!

Screaminseaman · February 02, 2004, 07:09:48 AM

S.M.A.S.R stands for southern mud and sport riders association of Florida. The of Florida stays hidden.
I agree with Mainetoo We all need to come up with ideas and names for the club. I have a listing of the bi-laws and so does muddbuggy. We will bring to the meeting.

MaineToo · February 02, 2004, 02:36:40 PM

Kevin and I met briefly today. I currently have a copy of the by-laws you mention. There are some typos and things that need to be added and other things that need to be removed. I am working on them. It will be way more easy to get the by-laws where they should be BEFORE we adopt them then it will be AFTER we adopt them.

Anyone find a meeting place yet?

Nocturnal · February 02, 2004, 04:40:52 PM

I work nights Mon - Fri. so a weekend meeting would be preffered by me. But with enough notice, I would take the night off for the first meeting. I just wouldn't be able to attend many after that.

john holmes · February 03, 2004, 05:50:36 PM

Oh crap, I'm glad you reminded me. I will definitley be in the dog house if I don't take my sweetie out on valentines day.After I get back with my sweetie then me and my wife are going out also....lol....(just kidding)

MaineToo · February 04, 2004, 05:28:03 PM

I'm not doing anything on a weekend this time of year except ride. During the week is fine. There are enough months when it is so hot I don't want to ride. Then weekends are fine. But for right now.. week days only.

Hey Vista

Welcome. Thanks for the offer for the website. I imagine we will take you up on it. We first have to have our preliminary meeting and decide on a club name.

ATTN: ALL
By-laws are ready!
I have an idea for a sponsor and meeting place. I-75 at the Clark Rd exit.
I have received the NOHVCC's (pronounced NOVAC) "Club Start-up Kit". It is well done and totally applies to the start up of our club. http://www.nohvcc.org/flash/index1.htm

Please keep Carlie Brucia and her parents in your prayers.

Nocturnal · February 08, 2004, 05:30:05 PM

Sounds Great Mainetoo. Just give a date and a time so we can make arrangements to be there.

Location is good. Date and time please....

Web site will be sponserd by me company. www.vistasystem.us. (No need for banners... Just to help out with what we can)
