FROM THE
PRESIDENT
On October
8th, after three years as President, I will be stepping down
from this position. I look forward to seeing everybody at the
meeting to meet, welcome or become a new officer. You can help
create or change the direction of B.I.K.E.S. For those
interested in becoming an officer, a brief description of
officer’s duties are as follows:
President —
Presides
at
general meetings; calls committee meetings as needed for
McClinchy Mile Ride, picnic, etc; represents (or appoints
someone else as representative) B.I.K.E.S. with outside
organizations as needed. 5-8 hours a month.
Vice President
— Plans general meeting programs; assists with committees;
performs duties of President when needed. 2-5 hours a month
Treasurer —
Deposits
membership dues and notifies Database Coordinator of updates;
provides monthly financial statement to membership; pays club
bills, member expense reimbursements and other expenditures as

Secretary —
Keeps
minutes of general meetings and provides to newsletter editor;
collects club records; handles correspondence related to
McClinchy Mile Ride and other club issues. 2-4 hours a month
Remember —
the organization can only survive with the help of people
committed to cycling in Snohomish County. We are fortunate to
have 30 years of history with our club.
Healthy communities had another joint meeting where good news
was shared by Lynnwood, Marysville and Everett. Lynnwood is
soon to start on 2 million dollars worth of pedestrian/bicycle
bridges and some new
blacktop for
the interurban trail in the 44th and 196th street area.
Marysville is painting bike lanes in several areas and creating
connections for non-motorized modes of transportation. Everett
has completed a non-motorized multi-use path on Marine View Dr.
and will be accepting comments on the soon to be released Alta
Planning bicycle plan.
Keep your
pedals turning
