• Lola’s Birthday is tomorrow, Mark Gamas is Sunday. Club sang to Mark, Lola’s birthday wasn’t known about until after the meeting……
• Deb Knapp is suffering from mod/severe back pain. She has low mobility without getting nauseas from the pain. Pain Dr is now recommending injections at the nerve endings to “numb” them and allow her to walk. Club delivered a card and some frozen meals to help out during her painful healing.
IX. WebMaster: Micke Barnes: webmaster@idaho4x4.com nothing new. Did mention that you can search on the website for HAM or Coms and it would pull up an interesting article on the reasoning behind why we use them.
X. Land Use – Christian Dahlstrom nothing new.
XI. State Association: Nathan White
• S.I.O.RA. unsure on how well they did for State Ride & Rally. State Association assured them they hosted an event not a money maker and the reasoning behind the event was to bring clubs together…..they did just that and a great job!
• Northern Idaho Club did come down and have a great time. They have not made a decision on joining the State Association yet, but are leaning towards a yes.
XII. Previous Events:
• SIORA hosted 2019 State Ride & Rally at Nat Soo Pah, Twin Falls. 3 members attended.
• June 30th Nathan White hosted a Rock Run. Multiple Clubs were in attendance: HDOR, WWOR, HBRK & IOR. Nathan spoke about the Rock trails beginning to get changed by SBS and ATV into roads by stacking rocks. Wanted to ask for compliance to unstack rocks after passing thru.
