Registration for a cycling event with the institution includes a T-shirt and cycling bag. There’s a 15 dollar registration fee. Those registered get a packet for fundraising via pledges. Registered riders or teams of riders get sponsored by those pledging.  Cycling is indoors.

> n  9:33; Talk about Advertising. Trevor sent a tentative flyer to Kate and Brenton. He hopes they got it. Included in the email were questions: should we mention mentoring possibilities and our FB page. Justin is comfortable with having people visit our FB page. We’ll need someone to guard it against improper exploitation from a business or other entity.

> --Gary mentions the idea of selling snack food prior to the state convention for fundraising.  This is something to put on our up-coming agendas. Perhaps we can have snack packs delivered to hotel rooms says Garry. We can offer discounts to early purchasers.  We should talk about what goes in the snack pack in future discussions.
> 
> The convention will be after Halloween, which means cheap candy. Garry’s Trick or Treat Bag perhaps? We’ll also probably want non-candy items.
