The club meets at 7 p.m. Thursday May 14th at the PUD, 2320 California St., Everett.  Join us for a pre-meeting dinner at Papa's Mexican Grill, 1909 Hewitt Ave. at 5:30 p.m.

The May 14 meeting agenda includes the election of the club officers who make up our board for the coming year. Will this be the year YOU will step up and help make BIKES a fun and effective force for cycling in Snohomish County? Volunteering also builds job skills and personal confidence.

Like every organization, we need new blood. Commit some of your time to BIKES.

All positions will be open for nominations in May, however we do have volunteers to run for president (Kristin Kinnamon), treasurer (Debby Grant) and secretary (Mary Jo Gerst).  So, we are most in need of:

Vice president: Helps coordinate events and activities; performs duties of president in her absence; responsible for planning programs (speakers, slideshows, topics) for general meetings. 3-5 hours per month.

Ride Coordinator (not a board position): Contact ride leaders and coordinate a monthly calendar of rides; submit rides to newsletter editor and post to website; encourage and mentor new ride leaders; help create tours and training rides calendars.

Website Content Coordinator (new, non-board role): Would you like to get experience working on a website? With a short lesson and some practice, you can update the ride calendar, add events to the home page, or post minutes or photos.
