RE Report:
Phone calls – most are solicitations.
Groupon would like to work with us on an event, selling spectator tickets. Considering for the ARRC. Perhaps application for SOLO as well, some autocross maybe. Tends to be good for buyers, not so much for sellers but some possible marketing opportunities. Discussion. Agreed to look into for the ARRC.
Mid Year meeting for scheduling for 2017 this weekend.
SCCA Region store open on National website. We can get the Atlanta Region logo on anything. Notice is posted on Atlanta Region website, Facebook page, and forum area.
Membership numbers are down by about 3%, against rising numbers elsewhere in the Club. We are not sure why, will consult region reports to try to discern the reason.

Event in May, event in June. Both went well, even with changes to the track. Numbers are good 17 at one, 22 at the other, breaking even. Heat may be a factor.
