MINUTES OF NORTH COAST OHIO MEETING
March 1, 2010
The meeting was called to order by President Walt Stashkiw at 6:40 PM at Dimitri’s Restaurant in Independence, Ohio. In attendance with the President were Vice-President Jeremy Goldstein and Treasurer, John Voorhies, In the absence of Secretary, Jack Lynett, Marilyn Demaline was appointed to take the meeting minutes. Also present were Past-President, Greg Glick, Directors, Bill Hunter, Gil Maringer, Les Demaline, Cliff Wolfe, Don Emery, Joe Nemes, Ray McFarland, Dave Williams, Gary Kosiba and Guests, Mary Emery, and Rose McFarland.
Minutes of the February 1, 2010 meeting were approved with the following corrections; there was not a 3rd place award for People’s Choice at the I-X Boat Show in the planned budget and the correct year for the Annual Meeting is 2010. Motion to accept as corrected was made by Don Emery, seconded by Greg Glick. Motion passed .
Treasurer reported that we received some of the 2010 dues monies from ACBS Headquarters so the checkbook balance was increased in February. Memberships for the current year include 4 new members, as a result of the I-X Show. But we are still down 14 members who have not renewed. John will advise the Board members of the names of those not yet renewed so we can contact them.
Les Demaline thanked Bill Hunter and Cliff Wolfe for their help at the I-X Show as well as all of those members who displayed boats and/or worked at the show. Awards were presented to the boat owners who brought their boats for display in the NCO Booth. Those members who were not at the March Meeting will be invited to the April Board Meeting to receive their awards.
Jeremy Goldstein passed out a copy of the flyer he will be mailing to NCO members for the SPRING WORKSHOP scheduled for Saturday, April 10, 2010 at his shop Custom Marine in Sandusky. Dave Williams suggested that directions to the shop be included on the flyer. The program will be from 9:00 AM until 1:00 PM. Lunch will be available at Danny Boy’s Italian Eatery near Custom Marine Inc. The flyer will be posted on the NCO website, also. Gil and John volunteered to provide chairs and Emery’s will make the coffee.
The notice for the Field trip to the Mentor Car Museum on May 8 will be mailed out in the coming week by Bud Long.
The Rendezvous at Turkeyfoot Island Club is scheduled for Saturday, June 5. Jack Lynett will prepare and mail the flyer for this event and Gil Maringer will be in charge of the Poker Run.
The June 26th Portage Lakes Boat Show was reviewed. Committees and workers have been appointed and Gil Maringer is working on the Show Poster. He would like to change the poster content using a photo of the show site. He will get some prices on the new format as well as prices on the framing of some of the poster for the judges as well as for retail sales. The members present thought the metal frame looked best and was less costly than a wood frame. Joe Nemes will have a prototype of the boat show awards for the April meeting. Les Demaline had an inquiry from an antique and classic car club who would like to be a part of this show. Walt will review the show site, and then contact the club, if he feels there will be enough space to show the cars.
Les and Marilyn Demaline gave a brief report on the ACBS Quarterly meeting recently held in Mt. Dora, Florida. Much time was spent at this meeting on ways to secure new and retain old members in the organization. The packet for those members planning on attending the Annual International Meeting and Boat Show in Bay Harbor, Michigan will be included in the Spring issue of The Rudder.
Next on the agenda, discussion followed in response to a request from the Algonac/Clay Historical Society on behalf of the Legends of Algonac. Our chapter has been asked to contribute to the fund honoring the achievements of Chris Smith, who invented motor boating and Gar Wood, who set world records for three decades. Gil Maringer reported that Herb Pocklington , head of fund raising for the memorial statue, spoke at the Antique Boat Center event in February and Les Demaline reported that Herb also made a presentation at the recent ACBS Quarterly Meeting. Because of the importance of the two honorees to our hobby, Dave Williams made a motion that NCO contribute $500.00 to the Legends of Algonac. The motion was seconded by Cliff Wolfe and passed by the Board.
Walt reviewed a request from ACBS Headquarters updating their records with the names(s) of member(s) who head up the following committees: Education, Safety, Community, and Youth Development. At this time it was determined that one person, Les Demaline, would assume charge of those areas and make them part of the same committee.
The Board authorized the renewal of the Web domain and Dan White, Web Master will be notified to process the renewal. Some discussion followed about how to encourage more use of the web site. This will be an ongoing project for the coming year as we post more show information and make forms available to our members on line.
Don Emery expects to have available at the April meeting, information on our return to the Edgewater Yacht Club for the 2010 Annual Meeting.
The next board meeting will be on April 5, 2010 at Dimitri’s.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 9:00 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Marilyn Demaline
