MINUTES OF NORTH COAST OHIO MEETING
Monday, January 9, 2006


The meeting at Dimitri's Restaurant was called to Order by President Greg Glick at 7PM. Present were: President Greg Glick, Treasurer John Vorhies, Secretary Jack Lynett, Past President Gil Maringer and Directors Bud Long, Eric West, Don Emery, Ray McFarland, Cliff Wolfe and Les Demaline. Also present were Sy Lynett, Marilyn Demaline, Mary Emery and Jim Bassett.

Upon MOTION, the minutes of the annual meeting of December 3 were approved.

President Glick reviewed the various boats in construction and renovation and the anticipated completion dates.

A review of the coming IX Center show was presented by Jim Bassett and a location map was circulated.

The Annual Rendezvous was discussed and after discussion, it was MOVED by Eric West, SECONDED by Ray McFarland and PASSED that the event be catered and held at the Turkeyfoot Island Club and that the Chapter defray some of the cost of the food for those attending. Jack Lynett would select a menu with the caterer and up to $10.00 per person of Chapter funds be used to underwrite the event. Jack will prepare and mail notices to all members, showing the costs and the chapter expense.

The July 4th Boat show will be held on Saturday July 1st at the Olde Harbor Inn on Portage Lakes Drive this year. Walt Stashkiw will be Show Chairman and the show will be greatly enlarged this year with additional docks from the old Simmons Marine. The show will be followed by an awards dinner at the Turkeyfoot Island Club. It was suggested that sufficient time between show and dinner be provided, to permit individuals to load their trailers in the daylight.

A discussion of the Lyman Boat Show, June 24 at Lyman Harbor was discussed. Don Emery, a member of LBO, agreed to get applications and information on the show, and make it available to NCO members who wish to attend.

The subject of the Beacon Newsletter was discussed. The consensus seemed to be against any type of "electronic newsletter". Rather it was felt that the members deserved to get a hard copy edition in their hands, as in the past. Jack pointed out that according to Ted Grulikowski, only 2 ACBS chapters (out of 57) use the electronic format. Many NCO members do not have access to computers, or chose to use them. It was suggested that we locate an "editor" who was willing to undertake the Beacon, and Greg was going to explore that.

A "spring workshop" was discussed and Ray McFarland will talk with Alleghany Chapter about their workshops. Gil will talk to Matt Zimmerman to see if any workshop activity is planned by Buckeye Chapter.

Greg raised the issue of "incorporation" and 501(c) 3 status, and after a discussion, it was decided that it would be little or no benefit at this time, and the issue was "tabled".

Cliff Wolfe invited all the NCO members to a "Boat Hop" at the Cleveland Yacht Club on Rocky River May 27, 2006. He will obtain more information and applications for the next meeting.

On MOTION by Les Demaline, SECONDED by Cliff, it was MOVED and PASSED that the Chapter donate $500.00 to the Inland Seas Maritime Museum, in Vermilion, in appreciation of the Museum paying the City for dock space during our Vermilion show last year.

The Treasurer's Report is attached in the minute book and shows that the Annual meeting in December had $1796.00 in income from dinners and the silent auction less the expenses for the Yacht club and awards & trophies, which resulted in a profit of $406.00.The Silent Auction alone brought in $476.00. Thanks to all who donated items, and to all who purchased them.

John Vorhies has volunteered to take a "recon" trip to Conneaut Ohio to explore their invitation to have a boat show at the city docks. He will report later.

The next meeting was scheduled for February 6, 2006 at Dimitri's restaurant.
In Jack's absence, Gil agreed to take minutes in February and Marilyn in March.


There being no further business, on MOTION the meeting adjourned.


Jack Lynett
Secretary
