Presence Requested: April 19th City Council Meeting, Proclamation of Bike Month
by Drew Gatlin 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hello board, If you are free next Tuesday evening (April 19th) at 7:00pm, your presence would be appreciated when the city proclaims May 2016 as Morgantown Bicycle Month. We plan to concurrently announce the specific dates of bike month events if the occasion allows it. You can find the council meeting agenda here <http://www.morgantownwv.gov/wp-content/uploads/4.19.16-Reg.-Mtg..pdf>. The proclamation is scheduled early in the meeting, immediately following the approval of the various minutes. So even if you're only available for a short time around then it should work! Thanks particularly to Brian and the Bike Month committee for putting this together. And thanks to all of you in advance for your support! Best, Drew

Drew, I'm ok with you registering the new BFC account under your name, but before doing so, please consider how long you plan on being around Morgantown, awaiting input from the rest of the group for sufficient amount of time for them to provide input, whether or not you think that's best suited for the Chairman's role, and whether anyone else actually wants to do it. After looking at those considerations and getting input from the group, I'm fine with it. I think you'd do a good job with it. Thanks! ~Derek On Thu, Apr 14, 2016 at 9:50 AM, Drew Gatlin <johngatlin(a)gmail.com> wrote: > All, does it make sense for me to register the new account under my name > as chairman?
