COGGS tax help
COGGS
Saturday, January 21, 2012
COGGS is now a 501-c3 and because of our extremely successful fundraising campaign this year is going to have to file taxes. This typically is a $700-800 bill and it has been considered to ask our membership if there are any accountants in our midst who would be willing to help COGGS file for 2011. If yourself or someone you know is a professional accountant who is willing to work pro-bono for COGGS we would be more than happy to add you to our sponsorship page at whatever level the service is valued at and also hook you up with one of the sweet Thirsty Pagan cycling hats that gets you 2 for 1's on your first round for all of 2012. Please contact Sherie Nelson at stienor@hotmail.com if you're able to help.
Thank you!
Adam

COGGS wins Legacy Grant!
COGGS
Friday, December 23, 2011
We have just learned that the City of Duluth has won a $250,000 Legacy grant from the State of Minnesota for the Duluth Traverse!
Merry Christmas to us!!!!!!
Extra special thanks to Daryl Peterson for writing the grant, Hansi Johnson of IMBA for getting some very important people to write support letters and for our awesome supporters in the City of Duluth like Matt Decur of Engineering who helped us through the process.
Our success in winning this grant goes all the way back to the IMBA Trail Care Crew two years ago when Hansi Johnson invited so many key land managers and gov't officials, including Andrew Korsberg, the man who received and reviewed our Legacy grant application, to the Better Lives Through Trails presentation where we unveiled the Duluth Traverse map. Everyone who needed to hear our vision was in that room and now in 2012 we are going to take a big chunk out of making this a reality.

Limited edition cycling caps going fast!
Wednesday, December 21, 2011
Thanks to all of you who have donated to COGGS this month! We have raised over $11,000 that is going directly to trail building in the New Year!
There remain 70 of these sweet cycling caps which allow you 2:1 beers at the Thirsty Pagan beginning January 1. If we can move all of these to donors, we will have raised over $18,000!!

Annual Meeting is Sunday, Dec 11 at 2:30
COGGS
Sunday, November 27, 2011
Each year COGGS last board meeting of the year is an all-member meeting that is really more of a celebration of the year's successes and a thank you to all of our members for making COGGS what it is. This year that meeting will be on Sunday, December 11th at the Thirsty Pagan Brewery in Superior, starting at 2:30 pm. The Pagan's owner, the affable and generous Steve Knauss, has agreed to close down the Pagan from 2:30-4 pm so that we can conduct our meeting and then once that is all said and done, he'll open it back up to the public and we'll get the pizza going.
This year each member will get two drink tickets and all the pizza they want. We'll also be giving away a couple goodies using the ticket numbers as lottery numbers.
Part of the reason we needed to have a private meeting before the party aspect is because there have been a number of insanely awesome developments that have occurred over the past six months that we have done a horrible job at communicating to the general membership. Here are some of the things that will be discussed in the meeting portion of our celebration:
- Midwest IMBA rep, Hansi Johnson, will give a presentation on what has been happening throughout the Midwest region to improve mtn biking
- Recognize this year's Board and Trail Stewards for their contributions
- Duluth Traverse, what it is, how it's being funded and our partnership with the City
- City of Duluth Parks and Recreation Master Plan and passing of the Referendum and how it will positively (huge understatement) effect the progression of the Duluth Traverse
- COGGS status as an IMBA chapter and what that means to us as club members
Once we've discussed all of that, then it's party time! Please remember that this meeting is open for all members. We want everyone to show up and learn what COGGS is doing and get to know fellow COGGers. So please come!

How about getting some club jerseys made? |
Referendum Passed!
COGGS
Sunday, November 27, 2011
Thanks to the hard work of the Vote Yes! Campaign and a little help from COGGS, the Parks and Recreation referendum passed. This means not only will our Parks be fully funded and be able to provide the services for the parks we enjoy, but the libraries will be able to return to full hours and services.
Most importantly for COGGS, the passing of the referendum will actually financially benefit the progression of the Duluth Traverse, COGGS vision for a multi-use singletrack trail system that completely crosses Duluth.
Thank you for supporting this initiative! Get ready for Duluth to be transformed into the place we always knew it could be!
