The next Board of Directors meeting will be Monday June 10th. Members are invited to share their ideas and opinions at every meeting. Agenda for the June meeting will be available soon.
The annual Team Alameda BBQ/Potluck will be on Sunday, July 21, 2013. This year, we've consolidated two traditional annual events (spring potluck and fall BBQ) into a mid-summer general membership meeting and family affair you won't want to miss! Details forthcoming in the June Newsletter and via e-vite to all members.
Save the date and book your room now! Our annual Half Moon Bay to Santa Cruz ride is Sat-Sun 9/7-8. We have some rooms on hold at the Mission Inn Hotel in Santa Cruz for Sat night 9/7. If you are going to do the ride both days, you'll want a room, so call and reserve now, because the hotel will be filling up due to the Big Kahuna Triathalon on Sunday. Phone number is 831-425-5455. Just tell them you're with Team Alameda/Lisa. Single rooms are $125 and doubles are $130. This is always a great ride along the coast, and they're even letting us have the patio again for our post-ride refreshments and entertainment!
