The idea of representation at the 2008 North Carolina State Fair by CBA/ABATE on a state level was discussed. Greg Moore noted there are thousands that come right by the existing North Carolina Highway Safety Expo, operating by Sgt. Mark Brown, entering the fairgrounds each year. Why not have a booth with one of our banners and possibly provide water to those that are passing by. Mohan will contact Doc Ski and Becky will talk to Matt Shamblin to get their input.
Jill Lewis reported on the Blood drive held on 31-May in Siler City. Flyers were posted all over Chatham County, which helped the number of donors this year was 25!

Attendees: Jill Lewis, Greg/Jennifer Moore, Bruce Miles, Ed Devine, Iris/Mikey Hindle, Bruce Lee, Bruce Miles, Mike/Cat Mohan, Vinny Neuman.

President’s Opening Remarks – Mike Mohan

Mohan gave some highlights from the recent Sunday Executive Council meeting and thanked the members who attended the Saturday Committee meetings representing Chatham. You can read the detailed report in the state newsletter or on the state website, but highlights include:

· The State is looking at some cost-savings options. One option is that some members would not mind or would prefer to read the State newsletter online. If you would like to do this, please let Cat know. For now, we are just gathering the number of folk who would like to do this so you would keep receiving your newsletter until further notice.

· Quigley Update – we have talked about this as a chapter in the past but it was brought up at the State meeting to go back to chapters to see if they want to donate any funds to ABATE of CA for this effort. After discussion, a motion was made to not donate as a chapter, 2’nd’ed and passed. (Vinny voted against the motion.)

· To be voted upon at the next state meeting: Increase in membership dues - renewal dues would cost the same as new membership. After discussion, Chatham supports this initiative and will vote accordingly at the State meeting in July.

· Lee Anne Redwine MSAP award information. Mohan read from criteria. Vinny has already submitted a few nominations.

Constitution changes to be voted upon at the July State meeting:
Article V, Section 8 currently reads: “20% of the net profit made on any non-charitable event conducted by a chapter or district shall be assessed by the State Treasury.” Proposal is to add the following after the preceding sentence: “Each chapter shall have at least one event of this type each year.” After discussion, CCCBA decided to vote 3 yes, 2 no (each chapter has 5 votes).
Mohan read the changes that passed (see state meeting minutes)
State event will be 29-31 August (Labor Day weekend) – noon Friday to noon Sunday, Ole Gilliam Mill, Sanford NC; this will be an informal gathering of CBA members but also open to the public; $10 donation per person.
Secretary’s report – Cat Mohan . April meeting minutes were emailed to membership at an earlier date. Motion was made to accept minutes; 2nd’ed and passed.

Treasurer’s report – Jill Lewis. Jill gave an update on CCCBA treasury; motion was made to accept Jill’s banking info; 2nd’ed and passed.

MSAP Report – Vinny Neuman for Becky Whitley

PTA carnival – Becky, Vin, and Burnie went to talk to people at the carnival about CBA. Vinny made a request about purchasing a banner to advertise CCBA and the MSAP program so we’d have it available at events such as this. The chapter asked Vinny to look into cost.
Becky attended the driver’s Education seminar in High Point.
Burrito Bash – 11-Aug - to take place at the Pittsboro General Store to benefit CARE (Chatham Animal Rescue) and Chatham Co. CBA. CARE has already collected items for auction; we need to also get some donations together as these items will be combined.
Over 1700 students trained from CCCBA’s MSAP program

Legislative Report – Vinny Neuman

State Lobby Day – Vinny needs confirmation by 15-May if participants want him to contact the appropriate legislators to set up an appointment to meet. Reminder: CCCBA will buy lunch for members who show up for Lobby Day.
CBA Central District – voted to give $500 to Doc Ski to help with Lobby Day expenses.
Learners permit bill – Vinny requested the members to write their reps
Action alert – Safety Center at UNC; need members to send communication to their senators asking them to support the “Motorcycle Safety Center” proposed by Senate Bill 1121 which would support the development and evaluation of a ‘crash-prevention’ approach to motorcycle safety.
Mary Peter’s issue –Both Democrats and Republicans seem to not embrace her ideas regarding helmet laws but the MRF is still watching her.
Senator Frank Lautenberg maybe on the way out; he has been the number one helmet law advocate; Democrat (NJ) Rep. Robert Andrews has announced his bid for that Senate seat and has vowed to vote against any mandatory helmet legislation.

OLD BUSINESS
