On March 3, 2010, Star City held their regular bi-monthly club meeting at Famous Anthony’s on Williamson Road in
Roanoke. Roadhog called the meeting to order at 7:03pm.
We did something different this meeting…
We had a Pop-Quiz – Open Mic Friday format where each member, in turn, talked about anything they wanted
to talk about. Some VERY GOOD IDEAS were heard and some EXCELLENT POINTS were made.
Chief: Asked about training for new members, to go over club
hand-signals and formation riding skills, and it was decided that this coming Sunday, March 7th will be used as
our New Member Orientation & Formation Riding Course. Good time, also, for members to come out for a
refresher course. See details on the Calendar. (Thanks Chief…GREAT IDEA!)
Scooter: Spoke of the recent death of our SCRC sister in New York,
Pam Bock. We will all miss Pam. As a small remembrance to Pam, Grape has re-posted the link to the story of
Annoying Thing on the clubs News Page.
Scooter reminded us of the March 20th Officers Meeting in Lynchburg and Birthday Celebration to follow at
Cattle Annie’s. He also reminded us of the June 2010 Fun Run in Bedford and that there remains only 35
rooms. Book yours soon.
Jim (Big-Bird: Mentioned the National HOG Rally July 14-18 and he also had this flyer about the May 14-16
Antique Bike Show. See the flyer here:
Grasshopper: Informed the club that the 90-day inactive rule has been changed. Members are now
allowed 6 full months of being inactive before being removed from the roster.
Cacky: Suggested that a New Members Picnic for the purpose of going over riding skills is a good idea.
Trooper: Shared his feelings on our clubs riding skills and how it was these demonstrated skills that helped
him decide to become a Star City member.
Groundhog: Mentioned that Danville is having an All Male Beauty Contest and Party on March 20th with
proceeds to benefit St Jude. See information here: ALL MALE BEAUTY CONTEST
Weed: Says he’s taking it one day at a time. Weed plans to ride this Sunday! AWESOME DUDE!

Jacker negotiated a rate of $62.95 at the Quality Inn about three blocks from Cattle Annie’s. This rate is for double/double meaning two beds per room unless you specify different. Our contact there is Jennifer Park General Manager. Tell her you are with the SCRC group Phil Stanley being her contact. I have blocked off 8 rooms I don’t know if we will need that many, but don’t wait because there is a basketball tournament in Lynchburg that weekend.
