Letter from the President on trail courtesy |
|
Open letter to all SWIMBA members, This Spring, an important group of foothills trail users (dog owners) came very close to losing the kind of access to the Ridge to Rivers trails that they have traditionally enjoyed. Are mountain bikers next? Certainly there are plenty of trail systems that have banned or restricted mountain bikes. What about our community? Usage of the foothills trails by all user groups has increased drastically. At the same time, behavior has eroded. If you are like me, you have seen an increase in mountain bikers not yielding when they should, not slowing down for others, riding off of the trail and demonstrating general disregard for others. |

2008 Annual Meeting / Board Member Elections |
|
SWIMBA held it's annual membership meeting on Wednesday June 18th at Smokey Mountain Pizza on Parkcenter. We had a truly excellent slate of candidates running for board positions this year. I was excited about knowing that no matter how it turned out we would have a truly talented board to work with. I'm pleased to announce that Gary Dinoso, Mike Edwards, Terry Floyd and Lisa Hawkes were all elected to the board. The remainder of the 9 that were elected this year include; David Beck, Tom Foote, Margie Rosenberg, Dirk Vandervoort and myself (David Thomas) who were all re-elected to the board. |
