Parking for annual meeting; Ride before meeting. (Updated).
Dear DC Randonneur,
Annual Meeting, Parking, and Directions
Reminder: Annual meeting at Glen Echo Town Hall on Saturday, January 24 at 3:30 pm.
Parking: We have been asked not to park near the Glen Echo town hall. Instead, we need to park in the parking lot that is just off Oxford Road, three blocks southeast of Glen Echo Town Hall.
Directions to the Glen Echo parking lot.
From Maryland, take DC Beltway south toward American Legion Bridge, Exit 39, MD190 (River Rd) east toward Washington. Continue 2.2 miles to a right onto MD614 (Goldsboro Rd). At MacArthur Boulevard, make a right then a quick left into parking lot for Glen Echo Park and Clara Barton House.
From Virginia, at Maryland end of American Legion Bridge, take exit 41 onto Clara Barton Parkway east toward DC. In 1.5 miles, bear right on ramp leading to Cabin John overpass. Turn left onto overpass to MacArthur Boulevard. Turn right and continue 0.7 mile to lot for Clara Barton House and Glen Echo Park on right.
From downtown DC, go west on Massachusetts Ave. At Westmoreland Circle, continue on Mass. Ave into Maryland. Turn left onto Goldsboro Rd at the T, then in ½ mi. turn right onto MacArthur Blvd, then quick left into parking lot for Clara Barton House and Glen Echo Park.
Ride before Meeting
Weather permitting, there will be a ride before the meeting, starting from the Glen Echo parking lot at 8 a.m.–total distance is about 67 miles but with shortcut options. The route combines portions of several Crista rides to head northwest, paralleling the Potomac to Seneca Lake Park, where it heads north (following the route of the recent Woodsboro 100 that started from Dave Berning’s house — moderately hilly). After a rest stop at Boyd’s, we continue a little further northwest before turning down Peach Tree for lunch at Cugini’s pizza at Poolesville. The ride home features a brief hike across a field near Dave’s house that Crista says is fun, then follows back roads to get past Potomac. Cue sheet and GPS file will be posted to the website.
Following text, describing the meeting and agenda, is unchanged from prior post:
Besides the business meeting, this is also a social event, and we plan to have food and beverages available (maybe some classic randonneuring items such as pizza, energy bars, gatorade … your contributions are welcome; more later …)
Proposed agenda for the annual meeting:
- President’s report on 2008
- Treasurer report on 2008
- Brevet schedule for 2009
- Volunteer coordinator report on 2008 and recruitment of volunteers for 2009 ride schedule
- Approve budget for 2009.
- Member discussion and vote on proposed bylaw amendments.
- Website report.
- Elect Board members.
- Recognition of members
- Adjourn
We plan to circulate the ‘08 financials, ‘09 budget, and any proposed bylaw amendments at least a week prior to the meeting. The Board has not yet discussed the nomination process for Board members, but we know that members have expressed a desire for a more-open process than in the past.
If you have issues that you would like to discuss that are not covered in the scope of this agenda, please email me.
