OTC 20th Year Celebration
It’s been 20 years since OTC received its chapter charter from the AMCA. Members gathered at the
museum to celebrate the occasion and were
entertained with stories of the early days,
memorabilia including a recently discovered video of OTC’s first Pre-16 ride out of McMinnville and
BBQ dinner.
Several founding members were on hand to
celebrate the event.

outside the museum using casual rules of order.

Old Business:
Gene requested comment on the 2011 Road Run.
None was offered but those in attendance agreed
we should work to keep RV and Hotel guests as close together as possible.
We are awaiting the AMCA Board decision on 2013
National Run that is due March 2012.
Gene announced a new venue for the Old Timers banquet. This year's banquet is being held in the
Bob Lanphere shop located directly behind
Paradise Harley-Davidson on Cascade Ave in
Tigard.
2012 Road Run site selection
Ben took the floor to provide an overview of the
four sites suggested for 2012:
Baker City
Cottage Grove
John Day
Enterprise
Shannon suggested we might defer our road run for 2012 to support the Northern Rockies Chapter
ride in Canada next year. It was mentioned that
our road run helps to fund yearly club activities.
Following these discussions and Q&A, Gene called
for a vote. 17 votes were tallied for Cottage Grove. One vote was recorded for John Day. No
votes for Enterprise or Baker City.
OTC 2012 Road Run:
The Village Green Resort in Cottage Grove is the
host resort for the 2012 Oregon Trail Road Run.
Village Green Resort
Village Green RV Park
Registration fees, room rates, run itinerary, and
meal plans will be announced on the Events web
page when registration opens in February. Target dates are either July 12~14 or July 26~28. An
announcement on final dates is expected soon.
We’re looking for volunteers to staff the 2012
Road Run Committee. All positions are open.
Please consider investing some of your spare time in helping support next year’s event. Contact Gary
to sign up.
Bylaw Change:
Shannon proposed that we amend the bylaws to remove reading the meeting minutes at the start
of each meeting and replace this with a call for
changes. As meeting minutes are published in the
Trail Gazette and distributed by email, all members have the opportunity to review the
minutes before each meeting. Changes to
previous minutes will be recorded in the current
minutes.
A vote was called and by a majority of those present, the bylaw change was approved.
Meeting adjourned at 4:18.
October Business Meeting Agenda
The October Business Meeting is being held at the
Powerland Texaco station Saturday, October 8,
2011. Topics we’ll discuss:
Review of September meeting minutes
Treasurers’ report
2012 Road Run Committee selection
Christmas Party
New Business
Our Business Meetings are where we discuss
issues important to Chapter operation. Your
thoughts are needed to make decisions for the future. We hope to see you there.
