John reported on the membership numbers and how we are holding steady, compared to prior years. Walt thanked those involved in the preparation of the annual meeting. Walt read a message from the ACBS vice-president John Bergstrom thanking NCO for the invitation and praising NCO for the fine meeting and awards presentation. John Vorhies reported that NCO has reimbursed the Bergstroms for their hotel accommodations in accordance with the earlier motion. Les next reported on the coming show at the IX Center. Progress is being made and apparently all will be ready. Dave Williams has prepared a hand-out brochure detailing the history of NCO and featuring photos of our boats and a listing of our current officers. Les reported that the carpet is ready. Jeremy has made the tongue-protectors and signs and Cliff Wolfe has assigned specific dates and times to each officer and director to be present. At last count, Les reports he will have in excess of 9 boats, with the outboard club bringing 6 or 8 engines and a few boats. A discussion followed concerning the suggestion that one of the Lyman “crate-boats” be brought to the show. It was somehow MOVED, SECONDED and APPROVED that Jack bring the 13 foot Lyman in its crate to the show. The vote was 12 in favor, 1 opposed.

Bill Hunter reported on the 4 year varnish test that he has been conducting. Bill brought the samples and explained the process. It was obvious to some, that after 4 years of exposure to the sun, certain products held up better than others. Bill will do a written report for inclusion into the next issue of the Beacon. Dave Williams reported that he is conducting a “strength” test of mahogany in conjunction with Case Western Reserve University. Dave will have a report later this year on the loss of strength in a given piece of wood that has been sanded and refinished during the restoration process.

Jack offered to let the Turners stay at “Casa Sourek Road”. Cliff reported on the wishes of the Great Lakes Historical Society to have NCO return to Vermillion. Cliff, as a member of the Board of Directors of the Society, reported on the loss that the city of Vermillion sustained when NCO ceased participating in the weekend. Les reported that the Port Authority demanded 5 thousand dollars deposit against docking fees, and that was the principal reason for the loss of interest on our part. Jack indicated that many ACBS chapters are paid to bring boats to shows and outings, giving the venue a drawing card and some interesting boats to add their advertising. Walt reported that as President, and under the Constitution, he has the right to appoint 5 At-large Directors, and he named Sylvia Chappell, Dave Williams, Joe Nemes and Gary Kosiba as Directors for one year till January 2010.

Since Jack cannot be present, Gil agreed to take the notes in February, and Marilyn agreed to take the March minutes. On MOTION the meeting adjourned.
Respectfully submitted.
