We have had a couple of meetings to date to discuss fund raising ideas. Pernille has brought up a few organizations that may be able to provide at least partial funding, I have drafted e-mails to those organizations. We are on schedule to borrow a Trisahw and have some events between the Tempe and Chandler Chapters. We have raised an additional $1000! Hope to have some photos soon with Mark's Trishaw!
Met with Mark Shelley from a chapter in Prescott. He had a lot to share about how he got funding. We also discussed insurance and how he operates his chapter. Great conversation. We may also be able to borrow his bike for a weekend!

-Introductions:
-Items to consider to start the chapter
-COVID Policy
For nursing homes use theirs
Develop one for use outside of facilities that have a policy at a minimum, follow county requirements, all Pilots shall wear a face mask while operating until State/City/County authorities clear the requirement.
-Pick the bike
Van Raam: Easier to get parts and help in the US, has wider seat base for passengers, has reverse!
-Fund Raising: Ideas: Offer to place advertisements on the Bike for big donors, Offer to sell naming the bike, Allow a group to have 50% access for large donations?, Every other week or first two weeks of month?
CWA USA is a non-profit organization that will hold funds and collect funds as a 501c3 organization. We will need to sign an agreement
All funds will be required to be used for CWA-Chandler
-Insurance:
Need to insure Pilots, highly recommended by other US chapters
Nursing homes may have their own, Possible waivers
-Trailer: Transport bike >2-3 miles one can be acquired for just a few hundred dollars and modifications can be made to hold the bike.
Cover - one comes with the Van Raam???
