Items of business were:
1.      “Getting the word out” and
2.      The Charter.

  1. “Getting the Word Out” –
    1. Flyers, Tri-folds, and Business Cards –

1.      Posting flyers at cafeterias – Stratcom, Doghouse (Bldg D), Dining Halls, MPF, Welcome Center, First Sergeants Assoc, and any bulletin boards where they will let us? Others?

2.      Tri-folds – Especially used at MPF, Vehicle Registration, First Sergeants Assoc, and others?

3.      Business Cards – to be carried by members and used as often as possible.

Question: can we get these items published through military graphics sources? 

  1. Charter – questions/comments raised by Legal Office during review:

-  Access to membership – restricted and, if so, how much? Suggested was “unlimited access to base for vehicles”? This paragraph refers to Article III, Section A:  Membership. As the leadership of ORA, we agreed that restricting the membership has both good and bad points. Your comments: 

-  Membership – “known or unknown outlaw motorcycle club”? Same reference as above is a quote from the example charter we used. We suggest deleting that statement. Your comments: 

-  “Jointly and severely liable for the finances and obligations of the ORA” – documentation.  This statement refers to Article III, Section A. This is an area of concern – our questions are below.

                        *What is Little Rock doing on this?

                        *Can we limit the clause and/or liability of the charter?

                        *Club sign up that limits the membership, club, and officers?

            *Waiver of Liability, address to Legal Office?

                        *Address question back to Legal Office?

Your comments:

 Membership standards of conduct: loss of base or more driving privileges. Referring to Article III, Section C & E –

                        *Before or after conviction of DUI/DWI/other offenses?

                        *Delete this particular paragraph/clause?

*Should members have a contract to sign upon registering and paying the initial dues?

                        Your comments:

 -  Legal definition of impairment/disability – able to ride safely? Redefine? Referring to Bylaws, Article 1, Section C, # 6 and recognizing that we don’t want to get into a argument with ADA, etc.

Your comments:

 -  Association funds – initial dues, fundraisers, pay-as-you-go for rides and activities, etc.
