MINUTES OF NORTH COAST OHIO MEETING MINUTES of the regular meeting of the Officers and Directors of the North Coast Ohio Chapter of The Antique and Classis Boat Society Inc., held at Dimitri’s Restaurant, Parma Ohio, on the 5th of May 2008. Present were: President Walt Stashkiw, Vice President Jeremy Goldstein, Treasurer John Vorhies, Secretary Jack Lynett, and Directors Joe Nemes, Bill Hunter, Eric West, Cliff Wolfe, Ray McFarland, Dave Williams, Bud Long, Gil Maringer, Don Emery and Les and Marilyn Demaline. Guests include Lucy Hunter, Julie West, Kathy Stashkiw, Ginger Long, Cheryl Maringer and Mary Emery. President Walt Stashkiw called the meeting to order at 6:35pm. Having the minutes posted on the web site, and copies having been sent to the Officers and Directors, a motion was made to ACCEPT the minutes as published, there being no additions or corrections. Treasurer John Vorhies reported on the status of the funds on deposit and on the present membership numbers. John also reported on the coming Conneaut show. He reported that the Elvis entertainer will not be back this year, due to some undisclosed conflict with the Port Authority. As with other years, the Friday night fish-fry is again scheduled, and the car show is planned again. Members were urged to mark JULY 26 on their calendars. Jack Lynett reported on the Rendezvous, scheduled for MAY 31 at the Turkeyfoot Island Club. Notices have been sent out and the food assignment list will go out this week. Gil was asked about the entertainment, and he indicated that a GPS device would be available to accurately measure boat speeds. Some challenges for top speed were thrown out, to be decided on the water. Walt reported on the progress of the Portage Lakes Show on JUNE 28th at the Harbor Bar and Hook Line and Drinkers. The show poster was displayed, and Cliff Wolf was congratulated on the fine art work and the production of them. Joe Nemes passed around the prototype of the participation awards he designed and made. It is a beautiful view of a Chris-Craft at full throttle with the show information in the background and t is etched on solid aluminum. Joe explained the final awards will not be as heavy, having a thinner base. Eric West discussed the menu for the awards dinner, following the boat show. After a discussion of various food choices, it became the consensus that a buffet to include carved prime rib with chicken, vegetables, desserts and wine would be the choice. The cost will be shown on the registration information when it goes out. Bud Long reported on the sponsor-program and will be seeking companies to assist in underwriting some of the show costs. Julie West reported on the Tee-shirt program. Julie presented to the Board various designs and shirt types. A pen-and-ink drawing of a boat passing the Portage Lakes Clock Tower was chosen for the back of the shirt, and the ACBS logo would be on the front. Julie would try and work the words “Portage Lakes Boat Show” into the shirts someplace. It was suggested that no specific date or year be placed on the shirts, to enhance the ability to sell them later. The Board decided not to include the Medina Fourth of July Parade in the “official” activity this year, and action was withheld on the Chapter’s participation in the Lakeside event. Members and the Board and Officers were encouraged to participate in these events. Cliff Wolfe reminded the Board that again this year, the Cleveland Yacht Club is holding the annual “Boat Hop”. It will be Saturday June 7th and promises to be a fun event. Les Demaline reported on the progress made toward the IX show next January. So far, Les has been able to get 5 mahogany boats committed, and is working on more. The Board has felt that in the past that there was not enough “mahogany”, so Les is attempting to bring more wood to the show. In addition, some large inboard engines will be obtained to supplement the space. A discussion was held on the use of the banners and signs that North Coast has shown in the past, and Jack and Jeremy will work to obtaining a large sign to replace the 3 small ones. Jeremy has agreed to store it and transport it when it is completed. A MOTION to that effect was made, SECONDED and PASSED because it involved the expenditure of money. Les and Marilyn and Jack reported on the recent ACBS quarterly meeting in New Orleans. Many great stories of the people and the area were reported which showed the strength and resilience of the people who rode out Hurricane Katrina. As a part of the meeting, local boaters took the ACBS Board members and guests on the lake and rivers surrounding New Orleans. An interesting discussion followed wherein Jack and Marilyn presented the pros and cons of NCO trying to host an International ACBS annual meeting and boat show. Jack suggested NCO combine with the Indiana Chapter, maybe the other Ohio chapters and the Lyman club and try and land the ACBS show in 2012. It could be at Cedar Point with lots or hotel rooms and dockage available. It could be in conjunction with the large in-the-water boat show put on by Lake Erie Marine Trades Association. (LEMTA) The Chapter would be responsible for the pre-event activities while the International would take care of the costs and organization of the meeting. It was suggested that a “feasibility” study be done and further exploration be made. Jack will do some additional exploration. The next meeting will be held at the Turkeyfoot Island Club as a part of the Rendezvous on May 31st. President Walt Stashkiw asked that anyone that has items for the agenda for that day send them to him, so that they may be covered. Final reports on the Portage Lakes Show are expected that day, since the show is a month later. On MOTION, the meeting adjourned at 8:20 pm.
Respectfully submitted.
Jack Lynett
