This club has disbanded and is no longer active"

WBC Members-

Your Board of Directors met in 12-20-16 to discuss the future of the club since we have been unable to fill any of the open position on the board since the planned annual meeting in October of 2016. Because of this, the board voted unanimously at that meeting to dissolve the Watertown Bicycle Club effective 3-31-17 since we were unable to maintain the regulatory reporting requirements that are required to maintain the club.

The article of incorporation clearly outlines the dissolution process and the disbursement of the remaining assets of the club.
- The remaining cash assets of the club will be directed to specific biking related improvements on the Watertown recreation trail system through the Watertown Park and Recreation Department.
- Any remaining assets the club owns which is limited to 4 gal water coolers and 4 10 gal watercoolers will be sold and proceed will be also directed to bike trail related improvements.

If you are interested in purchasing any of these, they are available at the following prices on a first come first basis
- 5 Gallon water coolers are available at a cost of $15.00 ea. (our cost was $35)
- 10 Gallon water coolers are available at a cost of $20.00 ea. (our cost was $50)

Please contact Brian Pellish at 605-351-9837 or [email protected] if interested.

While it is sad to see the club be dissolved, we all still plan on staying engaged in biking in Watertown but just without the formal club in place.

Any members interested in an overnight trip to Oakwood Lakes State Park the weekend of July 22 - 24? We would camp out and do a few rides - perhaps into Brookings one day, or up to Lake Poinsett. Also, for those who don't want to camp, they could come and ride with us Sat., then have a potluck/cookout Sat. night. We would need to know soon as campsites are filling up. Post here if you're interested.
