President's Message June 2020 - Membership Extension and more..
Greeting fellow Baltimore Bicycling Club members,
Website:At the January 7, 2020 meeting regarding increasing rider participation, the topic that generated the most interest/feedback was improving the BBC Website. One recommendation was to have a Website Manager, whose duties include reviewing and editing submissions as needed, declining non-relevant or inappropriate material and forwarding submissions to the Web Designer for publication.
Our first Website Manager is Alice Smith, whom many of you know as a 13-15mph rider. All website submissions for the front page should now be submitted to: websitemanager@baltobikeclub.org.
BBC Awards Banquet 2020
Normally in early November we gather for our end-of-year Awards Banquet and Elections. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this year we were not able to hold our end of year event safely.
We held our election via internet voting software and our new Board of Directors is listed in our program. In recognition of all of our volunteers including ride leaders, event coordinators, and club organizers as well as prior years’ recipients of the Wayne Rodgers, Barbara Parks, and Hall of Fame awards, we have prepared the usual event program. The 2020 Awards Banquet program has been posted on our website.

President's Message May 2020
This BBC news was sent via email to all active BBC members:
Kent County Spring Fling, (KCSF): Regrettably, in late March, the 38th annual Kent County Spring Fling was cancelled due to the impact of covid-19. Bob Carson, our longtime coordinator, has stepped down as the KCSF event coordinator. Bob worked tirelessly on KCSF year-round and his leadership will be missed. Thank you for all your hard work Bob!
New leadership team: Board members Marg Draper-Harris and her husband Mike will team up with me, (Pat Lapensee), and my wife Denise Huson to coordinate KCSF starting in 2021 (Memorial Day Weekend). We'll be taking a page from Bob’s book, “Let’s make next year’s Spring Fling the best ever!”
