No liability waiver forms. The gate liability forms are in the file cabinet. Tom Deike knows where. Where are the Radios? The President is supposed to keep them. Hill crew is to catch riders only.
Old Business: Rich Reichel had a hard time getting sponsors. If the club wants to make a changing sign, Motocross Today and on the other side Hill Climb Today, and it could be parked at Rich Reichel’s shop. He needs to take the event list to get yearly sponsorships to make it an easier sell. The club can add to the advertising budget, then, to make the advertising more efficient. He sold $400.00 of advertising. Vetters, Stormy’s, Reichels and Sherwood Motor Sport are this events sponsors. Rich is taking the past due advertisers list and will contact them. If Vetters brings a trailer, it is ok, and Sherwood’s also to park them by the bottom of the hill for advertising. The Kato Cycle Club sign should be put out. The President mentions that one of the things that happened this year, there seems to be confusion about the camping area and what was to be out. We were unsure, and at one of the meetings voted to have time to extend till Dec 31st the deadline time for misc hardware removal. Slipy’s structure is still up and grills and wood is around. The rules are extended, and $25.00 per week fine is still in effect after January 1st, or; open for discussion. The rule was originally made to keep the club grounds neat and orderly and to abolish established camp sites. The rules are there for a reason, or they need to be changed. The rule is specific about its contents says Marty. He calls for an action on this Der. Al Weingartz motions to drop the fines against everyone involved in leaving personal property behind. Darwin Vos 2nd his motion and the vote passed.
New Business: Kevin Case and Metro Sales are going to donate for 1 day for a hill climb event, portable bleachers. The only this that the club needs to do is pay for the transportation of the unit. It is on a semi trailer. This is a donation of $600.00 that Kevin Case said he and his company would cover. They would like to have us cover the cost of delivery to and from which would be $50.00 each way from Nicollet. There is room for 100 spectators. Motion by Ron Reemer to target Fathers Day, Rich Reichel 2nd, passed. Ron Reemer is giving up the shirt concession and will help with the transition. All of the shirts, new members, and T’s and Sweatshirts etc... This which would create an open, volunteer position.

communication we will get a better view. There was a synopsis that was started
