I hope all of you are enjoying the spring weather around the country and riding your old bikes. For us in the Northeast, spring is a welcome time. The truly lucky ones are those who can ride year round. But we all have one thing in common, we love our old machines. I attended AMCA Omaha, Sunshine and Perkiomen Chapter National Meets this year. This is the 60th Anniversary of the AMCA and we should all be proud of our heritage and encouraged by the future that lies ahead. I can report that the National Meet scene is strong and vibrant as always. Vendors are still attending in strong numbers. Our Members and friends look forward to these meets. And the judging participation and number of bikes judged is very positive for the future of this program. By the time you read this newsletter, two National Road Runs sponsored by the Cherokee and Bluegrass Chapters will have taken place. Two more Road Runs are scheduled, one by the Oregon Trail Chapter and the other by my own Allegheny Mountain Chapter. If you or your Chapter Members have not attended a National Road Run, I encourage you to do so this year. Please consider sponsoring a National Road Run in 2016. Road Runs are the ultimate fun experience on an old motorcycle in my opinion. And celebrate our Anniversary by encouraging a friend or neighbor to join the AMCA this year. If each Member brought just one new member into the Club, our numbers and influence in the antique motorcycle community would grow significantly. And it shouldn't matter what brand of motorcycle your friend or neighbor owns. We welcome all brands and owners in the AMCA. Please think about it.

 Our Executive Director, John Cerilli (JJ), has been attending the National Meets and participating in the judging program. He continues to introduce himself to the Membership at the meets and attends and participates in our Board Town Hall Meetings. John is rapidly learning about the Club, its history, culture, operations and its Members. Please feel free to e mail or call him with any questions or concerns about the Club. Town Hall Meetings at National Meets, begun two years ago, have proven to be valuable for the Board and the Members who attend. We have had some very good questions and comments from Members which indicates involvement and concern about the operation of the AMCA. These meetings offer an excellent opportunity for Members and the Board to have a positive discourse. Please try to attend and encourage your Members to do the same when attending National Meets. At the Board meeting in Daytona on March 7, the Board took a major step by unanimously agreeing to formulate a Strategic Plan for the AMCA. Significant discussion on this subject, including a review of the Membership Survey conducted a few years back, occurred over the Internet before the meeting. The Board continued the discussion at its meeting. The Board modified its Mission Statement and adopted new AMCA Value and Vision Statements. The Board also did its own analysis of the Club's strengths, areas of concern, opportunities and risks. The strategic planning process is explained beginning on page 49 of the May/June issue of the magazine. If you haven't read the article under the heading, THE ROAD AHAEAD: Strategic Planning for the Future the AMCA, please take a moment to review it. To my knowledge, this is the first time the Board has decided to adopt a strategic plan for the Club and seek input from the Membership in the process. We are asking every member who wants to make a positive contribution to the plan to contact John Cerilli. The Board approved the AMCA Heritage Membership Drive which encourages all AMCA Members to recruit their friends who have an interest in antique motorcycles. This drive will have a contest format with prizes for individuals and Chapters that recruit the most new Members. John Cerilli's column Riding Vintage on page 10 of the May/June issue of the magazine mentions this program. The next issue of the magazine will announce the Membership Drive details. Regrading the tax situation for USA based Chapters, AMCA retained CPA, Chuck Deluzio, reports many, but not all, Chapters consulted with his firm about their tax matters. As we have reported over the past year, the Club is no longer responsible for filing a Federal group tax return for the Chapters. Each Chapter is responsible for filing their appropriate Federal and State tax returns or file for their own tax exemption and approval through the IRS. The Board continues to offer to pay for tax returns prepared by Chuck Deluzio's firm (not any taxes due) for all Chapters sponsoring National Meets and Road Runs and offer a free one hour consultation to all other Chapters. The decision to utilize these services is a Chapter decision. I encourage all Chapters to do so.
