September 2010 Meeting Notes
|
The first meeting of the fall season was hosted by the
Atlantic Driving School. Special thanks to Robin & Bob Foulsham for not
only hosting the meeting, but sponsoring it as well. The expertise in the
room was amazing and the MSOL’s own Michael Crosby and Art Wood spoke on
a number of driver’s education topics. Judith Dupile (RMV) took a number
of questions from the members in regards to school bus laws, 7D
requirements, Homeland Security concerns, and issues coming down the
track. Atlantic Driving School also demonstrated the Seat Belt Convincer,
which can be available to any member wishing to use it at an event. (For
additional info, please contact Bob Foulsham).
In other news, the MSOL donated to Daniel’s Ride over the summer and was
listed as one of many sponsors. Daniel currently suffers from Leukemia
and the ride will benefit his family.
During the October 6th Meeting, the Members will be asked to vote on a
By-Law change.
Currently, under Article VII, Section B it states:
The Board of Directors shall be comprised of the Officers, plus six
other persons who shall be elected annually.
The proposed change is for Section B to read:
The Board of Directors shall be comprised of no fewer than five
with a maximum number to be determined by the Board of Directors.
With the changes in membership, we feel as though this will provide ample
opportunity for those agencies wishing to sit on the Board.
The MSOL will also be setting up a booth at the New England Driver Safety
Conference on October 29 & 30th at the Radisson in Nashua, NH (Exit 1)
from 8a-4p. We are looking for people to man the booth – even if for only
an hour. If you are interested in attending, please contact Chris
Harrington at
charrington@bolton-ma.gov
Also, mark your calendars for Operation Yellow Blitz on October 21, 2010.
Agencies participating should contact Paul Harkins at
Paul.Harkins@state.ma.us
Our MSOL slap bracelets are available to all PAID members. These should
be a great handout to the public and really get our name out! Chris
Harrington currently has them; so again, please contact him so that he
has them on hand.
As always, your input is important! If you have any pictures from your
summer events, please forward them to Jennifer Bellissimo for website
publishing!
