This is something I’m going to try to do after every meeting. It’s just a little run down on the meeting for those of you that couldn’t make it. Our February meeting featured a presentation on IHSTO Extreme Wheeling. The PowerPoint was put together by Monte and then narrated by Monte and Daniel. It was a great presentation and opened a lot of eyes to what some of us put our Scouts through. Nice job guys.

Our next two Road Rallyes are planned and they are as follows.

Feb 20th. This one will follow the Nestucca River from the coast range to Pacific City. Once in Pacific City we will have lunch at the Pelican Brewery. Welcome to the Pelican Pub & Brewery This should be a great trip.

March 20th On this Rallye we will visit the Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum in Hood River. We will be driving part of the way there on the Historic Columbia River HWY. Index This should be a fascinating trip as well.

The new OBDR coordinators are Phil Hinds and Colin Rush. This year’s OBDR will be less of a route and more of a discovery. It will take place Aug 14-22 in the Steens Mountain and surrounding area.

We had 4 new members at this month’s meeting. Which I think brings our total this year to an even 10 new members. Which is awesome and I am in email contact with several others that haven’t been able to make it to a meeting yet.
Next month's meeting will be March 4th. We will have a presentation on past OBDR trips. With pictures from Greg Foster and some stories from Phil and a few other past participants. Don’t miss it.

Good job on the new members, and my hats off to the person who gets the add in Craigs list every month.
I was wondering if there were any plans for the Portland Swap meet?
I have taken that Friday off just in case I am needed.

The CL ads have generated several new members. I will continue to run the ads every month, in fact I am thinking about running them in the Eugene section as well.

As far as the Swap meet goes, I have taken Friday off as well. I plan on going just the one day though.
