Greetings to all MetroSouth members of the MMBA. Spring is just around the corner and biking season is almost upon us. For 2009 we, the chapter board, have set as a goal increased communication to our members. As such, you’ll be receiving the occasional email about upcoming activities and volunteer opportunities. We look forward to any comments or feedback you may have on how we can make our chapter better.
Obviously, the next big thing that is coming up will be the Annual Meeting in Lansing on the 22nd(next weekend). See http://www.mmba.org/annual-meeting for more info. Our chapter will have a booth and the chapter trailer and are looking for some assistance in staffing it with volunteers. Setup is from 8am-10am and we would like to have people cover the booth in hour increments from 10am-4pm. Please reply ASAP to reserve your time at the booth.
(The list of events has been moved to the events page, please check there for the most up to date information)
All events can be found on the MMBA Calendar (http://www.mmba.org/calendar/events) and on the MetroSouth Chapter site (metrosouth.mmba.org)
We are interested in putting together a list of people interested in volunteering during the year. Volunteer opportunities can be Trail days, cooking at traildays or events, Park Liaisons, event coordinators, etc. If you are interested in helping out, please email metrosouth@mmba.org for more info.
Lastly, after the Annual Meeting we will be sending out a survey to identify the areas our chapter membership would like see addressed as well as putting together an inventory of the skills our members have to share.
First off, as you can see, the website has a new look. The migration of the MMBA website has begun and it starts with the Chapter specific sites. Any suggestions, questions, or comments can be sent to metrosouth AT mmba.org.

It’s been a while since the Metro South website has been updated. This is primarily due to some of the issues the MMBA site itself has had since the migration to new servers. In February, we’re due to be moved to a completely different system with an all new look. In the meantime, we’ll be using wordpress as our chapter’s online home.
Take a look around, we’ll be adding info as we go.
