SUMMARY:2021 State Convention
DESCRIPTION:The 2021 State Convention to be held March 27 at 8:00AM via Zoom. An email with the login instructions will be sent to all the officers and directors. \nInformation on Raffle Tickets Here Visit the Bitter Root Chapters Facebook page for the Drawing at 4PM www.facebook.com/BitterRootBCH \nAgenda \n2021 CONVENTION CANCELLED – Well\, Pretty Much\nIn many ways 2020 is still biting at our heels. Vaccines are now coming available\, but even with the most aggressive of timelines it isn’t likely the number of doses given and population reached\nwill provide an environment where most would feel comfortable with an in-person convention yet this March. The Bitter Root chapter is disappointed – yet again – to have to say Montana’s annual convention has been cancelled. Many hours were spent last year preparing an exemplary meeting: location\, layout\, speakers\, breakout sessions\, banquet\, and of course the more social portions: evening gatherings\, auctions\, and vendors. We were excited to once again showcase the Hamilton area\, which included a tour of the historic Daly Mansion. Our convention committee forged ahead again last fall with hopes that all would calm down and allow the 2021 convention to take place but\, alas\, it wasn’t meant to be. \nThough the convention has been cancelled\, the State will host a board meeting via Zoom to conduct all necessary business. Primary participants of these meetings are the State Officers and State\nDirectors\, though any BCH member in good standing is welcome to audit the meeting. There has been a whisper of hope that perhaps a get-together could be scheduled later this summer; keep your fingers crossed and be ready to offer assistance should this work out. Smoke Elser suggested a get together (rendezvous style) in August that would allow us to gather\, socialize\, ride and perhaps hold a couple other activities at Monture Ranger Station.  We all thought this was a great idea and will be putting together a committee to work on it.  If you have an interest in being on that committee\, please reach out to Sherri. \nThere IS one portion of the convention that will still take place: the annual raffle! The Bitter Root chapter will be donating all profits from the raffle to BCHMT. The State usually receives the\nproceeds from the live auction items\, which consists of an item donated by each chapter\, plus its share of the 50/50 drawing. They lost funding last year\, and the Bitter Root does not want to see\nthat happen two years in a row. A packet has recently been mailed to each chapter\, which contains raffle tickets and instructions. You can help in two ways: grab some raffle tickets to sell to\nfriends and family – yes\, strangers\, too! — and purchase some yourself! Contact your chapter president or treasurer to obtain the tickets. We hope to make tickets available online; a link will\nbe added to the State’s website if we are successful. The raffle drawing will be held at 4pm Saturday March 27 via live feed. We invite you to join us online during the live drawing. There are\nthree great raffle prizes available! Check the raffle poster in the newsletter for details. Let’s work together selling raffle tickets to raise a boat-load of funds for the State. \nThe Bitter Root chapter will now pass the convention baton to the next chapter in line. We look forward to seeing you all next year in a new location! Thank you for all your support through these\ntrying times. The convention committee wishes you and your loved ones a safe and healthy 2021!
