MINUTES OF NORTH COAST OHIO MEETING
John Vorhies reported on the state of the treasury and reported the treasury was at the same level as this time last year. It was suggested that the exact dollar amount not be published in the minutes that are available on-line, it being the business only of the officers and directors. Members can contact the treasurer for more specific information. John also reported on the membership and the fact that three new members have joined. It was requested that these three new members receive invitations to the coming Rendezvous. Because of a refund that was due to Matt Zimmerman, it was suggested that those funds be used to defray his membership, and that he continue to be on the mailing list of NCO. John then reported on the Conneaut show scheduled for July 29. Flyers will be in the mail soon giving details on launching, hotels and so on. Greg reported that the "Beacon" quarterly newsletter of NCO will soon be published. He will send an electronic version to the board prior to publishing, for additions or corrections. Gil Maringer reported on the recent trip of NCO to the Warther museum in Dover Ohio. For those who did not attend, it was an enjoyable trip with much to learn about this master carver. The Amish noon meal was worth the trip in itself. Gil reported on the progress of the Chautauqua Show, and the fact that the local members are raising money for the program and have secured a band for Saturday afternoon. Walt Stashkiw reported on the progress of the July 4 show,
on July 1 this year. Jack Lynett reported on the Rendezvous, scheduled for June 3 at Turkeyfoot Island Club. The menu has been selected and Jack stressed the need for reservations, since the caterer needs a count prior to the meal. Liquid refreshments will be supplied by the officers and directors, and Jack will be contacting members to supply such liquid refreshment. There will be a "donation" jar at the beginning of the buffet line to help defray the costs and ease the burden on the treasury. Gil showed the Board some photographs of an "original" Chris-Craft with some strange cleats and colorful engine parts, suggesting that the Chapter may wish to begin a "restoration project", but the suggestion died for lack of a SECOND. Gil also showed us an early Chris-Craft product called "Wood Preservative Toxic" used to preserve wood in the Twenties. It was suggested that the title "Toxic" in large letters on the label, was probably the earliest "truth-in-advertising" approach. Jack pointed out the ACBS raffle of a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe to be awarded at the Annual Meeting in Lake Tahoe in September and will get tickets from Headquarters to permit NCO members a chance to win. A discussion was held about the boat-building program at the Great Lakes Historical Museum in Vermilion, but no action was taken. On MOTION the meeting adjourned at 8PM. Respectfully submitted
