Kalamazoo Bicycle Club Summit

13 KBC members attended the Bike Summit meeting on Saturday, March 21, 2009, held in the basement of the ReMax Kalamazoo office on South Park Street in Kalamazoo.
Celine Keizer moderated the meeting, during which two topics were addressed:
  1. The possibility of establishing a more formal fund-granting protocol to ensure KBCÕs monies are well spent in supporting local bicycling activities.
  2. Long range planning for the clubÕs future Ð what it is doing now, and looking into what it can do to encourage the sport henceforth.

Look for a more complete report on this meeting in an upcoming PedalPress.

Thanks especially go to Jim Kindle, of ReMax of Kalamazoo for providing the venue, and to Celine Keizer for guiding the attendees through the discussions.
