Membership
Joyce provided membership cards for those who had paid dues. Also was provided a list of members who had not paid dues. The list was provided to alert those of us who had not paid our dues to become compliant.
Safety
Al Gailey reviewed the importance of maintaining a valid insurance card on your person at all times. This would pertain to both medical and vehicle coverage. Wayne Farr suggested having the medical insurance card around your neck, or in some obvious place in order to expedite medical treatment. Additionally, it is important to have a completed information form on file with the Moo Cows.
Ride Captains are reminded they are responsible for a safety brief before each scheduled group ride. Everyone should check out the website for safety information on riding in groups, hand signals, etc. http://www.moocowbikers.org/handsignals.htm

Devotion
David Riner provided our devotion on the "First Mad Cow Disease" from the text of Exodus 32. David referenced the Golden Calf and how the people so easily followed a philosophy in a time of uncertainty. We ourselves are subject to those times and should always be in a state of renewing our minds, walking the walk, and producing the fruit of a true relationship with the living God.
Closing
Vice President, Randy Adams closed in prayer.
