      Hot Topics

      Election Meeting is April 11

      Our Annual Meeting, Business Meeting and Elections this Thursday, April 11 at 7:30 pm at the UA Hall will include:

      • Elections for the Board of Directors and President
      • Please come and vote! We need 15% of members for a quorum - or 48 people.
      • Business Meeting on the state of the club
      • Snacks & beverages
      • Dancing to DJ Allison

      These people are running for board positions:

      President: Todd Newman

      Board Members (Five 2-year positions)

      Anne Gilbert (incumbent)

      Dan Flynn

      Dennis Gonzales

      Darlene Morin (incumbent)

      Margaret Shooshanian

      Nominations can be made from the floor for board positions, only (not president), but those floor nominations will need to be voted for by “write-in” on the ballot.

      We need your help! Please sign up here to volunteer.

      Looking for help leading activities!

      Betty Cornell is looking for one or 2 people to help
      co-lead the Dexter Monday bike rides from 2-4pm, with an optional bite to eat afterwards. Bike rides will begin Monday, June 3rd, parking at the end of Grand St, at the Forest Lawn Cemetery. Contact Betty if you're able to help.

      The club is looking for a member to host a "Pedal & Paddle" kayak / bike event on the Huron River in Dexter. . . Just someone to select a date, and time. . . and show up. We've done it before, and it's been a lot of fun. If you want to volunteer (or if you want more details first), call Joe Knopp at 810-923-1567.

      Thank You to our Volunteers!

      As the 2023/2024 Board Of Directors finish our term, a big thank you to everyone that volunteered this year.

      Over the past season we have had many people who helped out in many, many ways. A HUGE THANK YOU to each and everyone of you. As I have reached the end of my term limit as President, I have to say how much I appreciate everyone's time. I especially want to thank the past Board Of Directors. It was cohesive group. I truly believe is stronger for the contributions each of you made. THANKS AGAIN!
