A great ride with a lot of climbing and a great view overlooking Palomino Valley, ending with a fun potluck celebrating Terry Graham's birthday. Happy Birthday Terry! BCH-NV State Meeting in Tonopah: Bristlecone Chapter in Vegas is no longer an active chapter (they didn't renew 501c3, so the state doesn't see them as a chapter entity.) The State will request those individuals from Bristlecone who are still interested in remaining in BCH-NV to join another chapter. High Sierra (Toni, Jerry and Don) were asked to review and update the state bylaws. Carson Valley Chapter Money - the four years are up from when the Carson Chapter decided to fold. Half of the money will come to High Sierra and half will remain in the NCHNV state account. Suggested by Don that we track what we do with it and possibly open separate account for money disbursement, all opposed and all approved to just put money in general fund and we can track by knowing what the amount is. TMCC Trails Certification Workshop: Toni and Jerry attended a workshop on proposed new course(s) to be developed by TMCC on trail maintenance and design. A lot of items were discussed, and we will keep you posted on any updates New Business: National BCHA Meeting: Are there any issues you would like Steve Clifford to address at the state meeting? We've been starting to build notes for Steve to take to the National Meeting in Arizona. We already have that they shut down all the printing materials and there are no new member (recruitment) items. High Sierra Calendar: Bailey sent out the calendar via email which is the only time the TENTATIVE calendar will be sent out, as we populate and discover dates/times/etc. throughout the year you will need to update your calendar, as information will be discussed at meetings and minutes. Booth: A request was asked for us to do a booth for the NV Outdoor Experience at the Carson City Gun Club on June 21st sponsored by the Wild Sheep Foundation. Monthly Club Ride: Will be the Members Fun - Bryce Canyon Trip --Terry Graham announced to meet at the Golden State Fuel Station in Fallon at 9am on Friday, April 25th.
