- Harper’s American LegionA follow up to the last meeting discussion on being approached for a celebration ride on 4th July to commemorate the Legion’s 250th year. Krystal plans to communicate further with the Harpers Ferry Legion and bring updates back to the club at the March meeting.
New Business
- Website Membership Login & Password The update is being distributed with paid dues. Lifetime members will receive a separate email.
- QR Code– We made an executive decision when creating the QR Codes for the club and the DNR. The intent is to use on our website/maps and the possibility of adding to Merchandise and/or the trailer decals.
In researching, the President found that for the QR to stay active and change with updates we needed a “Dynamic” QR Code. These are different than the free ones advertised.
The cost is $119.88/year for both codes.
A motion was made to pay the fee for both codes and review the analytics in 2027 before renewal by Fawn Brickman:
