1. The 2011 Nampa Ride will be held May 20-21.

3. Jim is working with motel check-in to work out a "Pre-sale room" policy where PNC Thunder would accept room payment NLT May 1st.

4. We still need to stress safety with the group and the "One Second Rule" spacing, our break times, and our speed.
 
5. We discussed ideas around PNC Thunder providing an actual ministry for others outside the riding group. Ideas included feeding the hungry at
     the Puyallup armory, yard work for an elderly or handicapped person, a Thanksgiving and or Christmas pounding for a needy family, etc.

11. Steve Swanland has stepped down and we will be accepting nominations for a new Safety Officer.
 
12. Pastor Dave would entertain the idea of having a "Biker Sunday" so we would need some suggestions as to what that would look like.

PNC Thunder end of year meeting minutes from 10/30/2010

Fall 2010 Meeting Minutes

1. Meeting was opened in prayer by Lee Evans.

2. Safe riding formation was addressed by Lee and the one second spacing rule was explained.  Prior to each ride we need to remind riders to safely pay attention, watch your spacing and pray for protection and wisdom while underway. Also we need to have rest breaks every 45-60 minutes.

3. Jim Pasinetti gave us an update on changes to the Nampa ride that include taking a more direct   route to get there earlier. Jim is working on an advanced pre-paid motel charge for the riders to help expedite check-in where only one credit card or check is used to cover all the room costs and that person would distribute our room keys. Getting there earlier would allow being able to go out and eat as a group. Then the ride home would be different than the ride to Nampa.  More details on this will need to be worked out over the next several months. The Thunder Board discussed imposing a $10 ride fee so we can support reaching out in areas of ministries outside of ourselves.   Currently there is $665.33 in the account. We are making the Nampa ride deadline May 1^st   to allow time for the final preparations to take place.  The Nampa ride will take place May 20-21, 2011.

4. Lee brought up the fact that we are a motorcycle ministry and had several ideas concerning helping those who can’t help themselves with yard work or painting, hauling, etc.  Lee mentioned the feeding of the homeless once a month at the Armory as a way to get involved in the community. Perhaps we can support a needy Thanksgiving and Christmas family with gifts and/or food. Another thought was to adopt a section of highway 410 from highway 167 to Eli Hill for clean-up. There are still opportunities to help Al and Gloria, which Lee will inquire of them.

5. Lee introduced his Colorado Springs ride which will be a ten day ride July 6^th to the 16^th. Anyone is welcome to participate.  Dave Lowery also plans to lead a ride to Libby Montana next July.

6. Scheduled rides will be the 1^st and 3^rd Saturdays June thru September 2011. Check the web site.

7. Lee will be accepting nominations for the Safety Officer to replace outgoing Steve Swanland.

8. Pastor Dave would entertain the thought of a Biker Sunday, so submit any ideas to Lee, Jim or Mark.
