Wayne said State Elections are
coming up on March 23rd. He said that State is nothing without the
trikers so we all need to do what we can to support them. At this
point the following are running for office:
Director: Wayne Eck
Co-Director: Elroy Kettleman
Secretary: Retta Waite, Cathy
Peek
Treasurer: Debra Hester
Historian: Ish, Dan Seely, Sonny
Suskey
Road Captain: Tom Wing
Newsletter Editor: Sarah Eck
Webmaster: Kathy Walter
If anyone else is interested in
running for a position, please let Wayne know.
Trike nights will be the last
Friday of each month for January, February and March. They are at
Wayne and Sarah Eck's and everyone is welcome. Sarah said we will
make pizzas this time so everyone is to bring a topping, a side dish
or a dessert to round out the meal. The address is 10329 E. 101st
St. North. Contact Wayne at 316-744-2841 if you have questions.
Tish Seely, Weekend Activities
Coordinator, passed out a list of suggested rides/trips and asked us
to vote for what we wanted to do. She has tentative dates for
everything except parade dates, which cannot be changed. She is
taking into consideration parade dates, and local, state, and
national trike-ins and has chosen dates that do not conflict with
those. She will tally the numbers and bring information to the next
meeting. We will lock in places and dates at that time. On the
list were:
ECK Chapter Picnic June 5th
Road trip to Hays, Atchison or
Dodge City and we wrote in a return trip to Abilene.
Hutchinson Salt Mines Museum
Tanganyika
Wildlife Park
Coronado Heights Buffalo Ranch
Park City Parade
Dexter Parade
Black Arts Parade
Garage Sales
Haysville Parade
Halstead Parade
Yoder Parade
Bill Taber, Road Captain, suggested
combining a trip to Abilene with the Ft. Riley Museum. He has
talked to base officials and can arrange for us to be met at the
gate and escorted to the museum. He would need names of everyone
going and we would have to have ID available. If we go as a group,
no helmets are required and we would have to stay together while on
base.
If there is anything else you want
to do let Tish know so she can add it to the list.
Wayne brought up going to Prairie
Rose on a Sunday afternoon in August. The cost would be $30 per
person and this covers the chuck wagon dinner and gospel music
show. Reservations can be changed up to 24 hours in advance.
Following the show, we will go to Dale's and Kathy's house for ice
cream.
Bill invited everyone to Cowboy
Church on Monday nights at 6:30 at Prairie Rose. They have guest
speakers, the preacher has challenge messages, and there is music
and dinner. Chicken, sausage and potatoes are always provided and
everyone brings a side dish or dessert to share if you want.
Bill has 3 quilts that he bought at
Yoder. He wants to donate them to BTW for auctions. One will go to
State and the other two will be decided later.
Sarah Eck, State Newsletter Editor,
asked how many might be going to Branson for the National Trike In
in June so she can check on hotel rooms. She figured 15 rooms would
be needed if we want to stay at the same place.
We passed the hat and Treasurer,
Jerry Dunn, reported we started with $400.19 from the last meeting,
$14 was dispersed for stamps, we collected $49 in the hat, bringing
us to a total of $435.19.
Bill brought up leaving tips for
the wait staff at whichever place we have our meetings. He said
last time he counted a little over $7 total was left on the tables.
There is one wait staff person who is assigned just to us and $7
isn't enough. It was suggested that we either leave better tips or
we should take money out of the "pass the hat" to leave a tip.
After discussion and a vote it was determined we need to revisit
this at the next meeting in February.
Wayne said that our chapter is
growing and the needs are changing. He proposed that the title of
assistant director be changed to co-director. It was a unanimous
vote to make the change.
Our next meeting is Sunday, February 14,
at Ryan's on N. Rock Road, at 3 PM. We have several things to
discuss and vote on so please try to come.
