Larry- 12.5K in due came in from memberships, bringing our overall to 92K

Ricky- when planning/riding in areas with bike lanes, use them as much as possible.  The more we are seen using them, the more likely people will get out and use them as well!

Linda- offered help from the Women’s Team during the Crit at the FW tent.

Paul- bill 3615 went before the committee and passed with one change; instead of having 3 months to complete the safe driving course you would get 6 months.  The bill should be on the agenda on March 15^th for the Education of Public Works Committee.  Upcoming- Hilton Head doing a Southeastern bicycle symposium, May 4-5 is Mayor’s Bike/Walk to School Day
