<BR>I was wondering if anyone would like to donate their services to function as a webmaster for the MARS club. the web site hasn't been updated or changed in years. Also we should elect new officers for the club at least a president and treasurer who will inject new life and energy in our organization. An organization will only be successful if all of its members put in the effort to make it work. Does anyone have any ideas? please step forward. We need to reenergize the club's structure and purpose. We must change to better address the needs of the club's members. I remember waaay back in 1999 when i first joined, i was so excited about seeing other recumbent riders and bikes. it really opened my eyes to how varied and interesting recumbent bikes were and they still are for me today.

<DIV>We haven't collected any membership dues since 2004, so you can still consider yourself a MARSian in good standing. The only information about MARS that I know of is the flyer that appears on our website:</DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://www.recumbents.com/mars/media/libdocs/MARSflyer.pdf">http://www.recumbents.com/mars/media/libdocs/MARSflyer.pdf</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It provides a reasonable description of MARS, except that we don't currently collect dues and Andy is no longer our webmaster. The info on where to buy bents also needs to be updated.</DIV>
