2023 GII End of Year Event GII is hosting the end of year party on Saturday, November 11, 2023.  The club wants to say thank you for a fantastic year, so this event is free to all paid club members only.  Although it's free, you must RSVP by November 6 to be admitted into this party. If you have a guest that wants to come, they can join you as well. The admission for them is free when they sign up for a one year membership with the club for only $35.  This way they aren't just a friend of the club, they're part of the family too.  Follow this link to Join GIIMember Signup/Information.   Can't wait to see you there!  Click here to RSVP: End of Year Party Registration.
The Slick Chain Awards Who is that club member that is always late? Always in the best kit? Never has the route? Mike Moore is one of our members who LOVES to take pictures! The Slick Chain Awards are where you, the club members, nominate your friends (or yourself) for superlatives.  Only club members are eligible to win Slick Chain Awards.  Follow this link to see the categories and to nominate your fellow club members: Slick Chain Award Nominations  

At our end of the year event, we will announce the winners of the Slick Chain Awards.  

 


GII Board Member Nominations

We are looking for club members who are dedicated to making a difference in this club by joining the leadership team.  General requirements of all board members is that they are expected to join board meetings that are scheduled at least six times per year and do whatever is reasonably required for the great of the club.  Each director can create their own sub committee if they choose as a best way to manage the role.  Although the roles are supported by the whole board, the leaders should be self-motivated, be able to run with their positions with minimal direction, and report back to the group.  The roles that are available and a short description are as follows:

  • Communications Director: Manage the dissemination of information about the club to everyone.  This includes managing social media (Instagram and Facebook), creating newsletters, and webpage updates as needed. 
  • Secretary:  Take meeting minutes during board meetings and other events where leadership information is exchanged and provide typed meeting minutes. This person may also help edit club disseminated information like newsletters and emails. 
If you are interested, send an email to GII Leadership at info@giibike.org.  Please include in the email your name, the position that you are interested in, and a few sentences about your ideas for the club and/or something about yourself that will help people to know you.  Final selections will be determined by a vote.  

 

!!!!ATTENTION MEMBERS!!!!  The GII Online Store is now open.  Pactimo is having a special sale for our members and everything is 40% off until October 31, 2023!   This is a perfect time to get the Fall/Winter gear that you need.  Delivery is expected by the end of November, so you don't want to wait!  Don’t be left out in the cold!

IMPORTANT: Please take care to select the correct garment and size. Pactimo Custom garments are made to order and are not kept in stock for return or exchange.
