May 2, 2011 FORC meeting, River House, 6:30 PM (agenda listed) WE NEED YOU!

[Bexter]

We look forward to seeing many faces for our May meeting. If yuo have not yet renewed your membership, please consider doing that at the meeting on Monday. The reason this meeting and our June meeting are so important is that we will be discussing the Midwest Mtn Bike Fest in detail. We NEED lots of people to help us pull off the Fest in awesome FORC style... so please come to the meeting and let us know how you can help. The Fest is June 24-26th (though unofficially sounds like it's starting on Thursday June 23rd).
