1st AOAA meeting

[akram]

Good point Shane. And I say that because without people in the interior supporting this it is not going to happen. Dezi, the interim chairperson, gave a presentation on what AOAA is and about. The biggest thing is there needs to be involvement. You have to be a member of AOAA to have a vote when it comes time to form the board for the chapter up here. The meetings are open to all though. Only one real usergroup was represented last night, the offroad community. A few others were there though. So it has been discussed about getting the word out. Dezi has some pamphlets. I will try to get a bunch from her. We need to put these out at the auto stores, outdoor stores, bike places, outdoor rec on wainwright and eielson. they are trying to get Dermot Cole to wright an article about AOAA. Also looking at advertising the meetings on Craiglist, alaskalist, eielson for sale board and putting it in the community events calendar in the news miner. A few issues that are ongoing in the interior were discussed. But what it comes down to is having people involved and wanting to do something about the issues. Seems like that statement is being made a lot, and for a good reason. Right now the next meeting is scheduled for 20 June at 630pm, location TBD.
