1) To help bring the surrounding communities together through biking charity events--like raise funds for pet shelters.Seems there isn't enough of those. And, it helps expose our bike club name to the surrounding communities.

2) By volunteering you develop stronger ties within the biking community and work with the members to

perhaps enhance the bike club---for instance, make it easier for members by offering an additional

membership type, like a 2-yr membership at a discount, similar to what CRW offers. Another idea is

to have a dedicated section on the NVP site for members to upload photos from recent bike rides---perhaps

have them rotate on a monthly basis.

Treasurer - Responsible for money (paying bills) and reporting out at the monthly NVP Board meeting the financial status and attend board meetings; complete annual tax forms; calculate and pay insurance

Romaine Randall

I've appreciated the opportunity to serve on the Board this past year, to learn its role in the Club's operations. I enjoy having a say in decision making and contributing to the Club by being a voice for members.

As the outgoing vice president, I would like to continue to serve the club as one of the directors.This year ,I reinstated the dining club and we have a second night planed for January 26th.I’ will continue to promote this activity as long as the membership shows interest. In addition to supporting the NVP Apple Country Century, I’d also like to explore the possibility of an NVP long weekend riding event.

I Would love the opportunity to continue contributing to the club. This general position is perfect for me. Here I can offer a wide variety experience to bring the NVP community together. Yes, more new things like Zwift. More group outings like Le Ride Documentary film. More recognition dinners for our key members.

I love everything the sport of cycling has to offer. Fitness, physical and mental health, being outdoors, speed, competition and the chance to be around interesting people from all walks of life. I enjoy a diversity of riding including road, time trial, mountain, indoor training, roller racing and especially hill climb races. NVP for me is a unique combination of a club with excellent rides, social activities but above all friends who will help and care about you both on and off the bike - that is the uniqueness that I want to help preserve as an ordinary member of this fine club. Thanks for considering me as a general board member.
