In a different thread here, Brian V. pulled the following from the just posted minutes from the Jan. 9, 2019 board meeting:

Starting tonight April 15th the Central Park east drive milling and paving will commence.  Conservancy says they will mostly mill AND pave, not the usual mill and more milling before paving.  We shall see.  Be aware as some sections maybe only milled.  Plan is starting at east 90th and going to 110th..  I assume ending where the paving was last done. Caution!

The following message comes from the Central Park Conservancy Recreation Committee:

"I am writing to alert you to a Department of Transportation project in the Park which will begin this evening, Monday, April 15^th. DOT will be milling and paving the upper East Drive, from E 90^th to 110^th. The work will be done overnight beginning each evening at 9:00pm and stopping at 5:00am. This is a major endeavor because the East Drive is an extra lane wide. Dot is planning to mill and pave as they go which will reduce the stretches of Drive that will be milled only, and thus rough surface, during the daytime.

I believe club members have attended these for years.

The B SIG ride is ON, but the start time is delayed 45 minutes, to 9:15.  Please plan to arrive by 9:00. 

As roads may be slick in the morning, pease excercise caution riding to the start or to the subway. 

The C SIG's start time is delayed for tomorrow's ride. You should be receiving an email from your group leader confirming your specific start time.

The rain will probably end by 8AM, but a few stray showers may linger and the roads will still be wet at 8:30-9:00.  Some riders have to leave home an hour and a half to two hours before the start time. When riding to your meet-up location be cautious on the wet roads and the painted crosswalks.

Ride safely.

There are still open slots for this event. The exhibition is said to be very good.

Neile Weissman is organizing dinner at LaShuk afterwards; message him if you want to be included.

To further sweeten the deal, your very own President (me) is picking up the first round of drinks at La Shuk! Who could say no to that?

So, our Treasurer appears to have been on vacation for some time. . .

I not realize our financial results have not been posted.  When I get back from vacation, I will make sure it`s done.  It would have been better jus didt to email me.

Btw the board gets year to date p/l and the balance sheet just before every meeting.

but the Treasurer does not seem it fit to insure that these statements are posted  on the Message Board.

and our Secretary has misplaced his pencil and/or computer. . .

and our President has nothing to say about these matters. . .
