TAB Incorporated | ||
| At the fall meeting on Nov. 10,
2009, TAB voted to incorporate as a non-profit organization. This will insure
that TAB can continue holding bike rides and other activities with less
concern about liability for its officers and ride leaders. The Code of Regulations was adopted on January 23, 2010. You may review the proposed Code here. If you have any questions about incorporating, feel free to contact Debbie Tassie at dtassie@tassielaw.com. Click here for November meeting minutes. |

Note from Toledo Metroparks | ||
| Around June I
received several complaints from members of your club regarding the condition
of the pavement in Oak Openings. At that time I responded to the concerns
by conveying that the main road way was scheduled to be re-paved by late
summer. What I did not convey was that this project was submitted as part
of a larger bundle of projects for state funding. Metroparks is still waiting
for final approval, and the paving season is quickly drawing to an end.
As such it appears this project will not happen now until next spring.
In the meantime maintenance crews have been doing some patch work and slurry coating in the park and on the Wabash Trail to provide the best possible solution, short term. I wanted to update your group as I know you are avid users and supporters of our park system. Please share this message with everyone. Please do not hesitate to respond for further details or questions. Sincerely, Dave Zenk Superintendent of Parks Metroparks of the Toledo Area 419-407-9728 |
