Board of Directors Report, March 8, 2011
Bikers Down Society-Toad Memorial Fund has just completed its third year of operation and has been very well received by the motorcycling community.This year we even added more clubs to help raise money or just volunteer.A special thanks to the Darksiders who helped with the Toad Memorial ride in August as well as raising money for our Society. We have had other clubs donate money and time also and we would like to thank them all.
There were three main functions again in fundraising activities in this fiscal period.They included the
Annual Memorial Dance in March 2010,the 2010 Toad Memorial Poker Run in August 2010 and the draw for the 250 Hyosung motorbike in September at the Wharf Rat Rally.
Once again members and volunteers traveled to numerous events to sell tickets on the bike and t-shirts.
We now also sell t-shirts and all tickets at Riding In Style Leather/Beccas Boutique where the next bike
is on display for all to see and even sit on it.Bikers Down Society along with Riding In Style Leather will
be having a Friday Night Bikers Down bike Night at 528 Sackville Drive starting at a date to be announced from 6-9pm where hot dogs,pop,water,coffee will be available for a donation to help raise awareness and money for the Society.
We will continue to work on our policies to change our bylaws to reflect who we need to become.Bikers Down has had an article written in the Bedford ,Sackville ,Halifax,and Dartmouth community news.We also had coverage on CBC radio with an interview of Bikers Down Chairman Jimi Swinamer.
For the upcoming year we must continue our push for public awareness and government support to make our roads more motorcycle friendly.
