PTOA Report
Terrica represented AWA at the Portland Triumph Owners Association Awards Banquet on February 25, 2012. The PTOA board elected AWA to be the recipient of their yearly donation to an automotive related organization. Terrica reported that the people were friendly and enthusiastic and the food was excellent. The gift is much appreciated and it will go into our general fund for scholarships. We are thrilled to create this affiliation and will add them to our list for inclusion in future events. Sarah is charged with making contact and including photos for them to see who we are.

New Items/ Open Discussion:
* College/High school Outreach- should we have more involvement at these levels? What would/should that involvement look like?
* Dipstick 101- we use to have a basic car care class we gave, but the numbers of people who want to take that class have dwindled over the years to the point where it's not worth us doing. Many of us feel there is still a need for it, but what should it look like now, how should it be updated and where is our audience, what is the need?
*Ms. Betty Kindle is healing from a broken leg and therefor is not in attendance at the meeting. She has been nominated for a Golden Alumni Award at PCC. Congratulations to her, she deserves it.
