Club Mileage Reimbursement: Approved at the May club meeting and effective immediately, 40 cents per mile and ferry expenses for SAG vehicles will be reimbursed for qualified rides.  A ride will be considered qualified if it is an officially listed club ride.  Reimbursed miles will be miles actually incurred in the course of the ride and not miles as a result of travel to the ride start.

Expenditures Approved:  At the May club meeting a grant of $312 was awarded to Mulkilteo School District ECAAP (Early Childhood Education Assistance Program) for its upcoming bike rodeo.  The grant will be used to provide helmets to children participating in the rodeo. 
 

Additional grants may be awarded later in the year
