MINUTES OF NORTH COAST OHIO MEETING
Monday, September 8, 2008
MINUTES of the regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors of the North Coast Ohio chapter of The Antique and Classic Boat Society Inc., held on the 8th day of September 2008, at Dimitri’s Restaurant, Parma Ohio.
The meeting was called to Order by Vice-President Jeremy Goldstein, acting President, in the absence of Walt Stashkiw. Present were Directors Dave Williams, Ray McFarland, Les Demaline, Marilyn Demaline, Gil Maringer, Bud Long, Don Emery, Eric West, Bill Hunter and Joe Nemes. Past President Greg Glick, Treasurer John Vorhies and Secretary Jack Lynett were present. Guests included Mary Emery, Cheryl Maringer, Kim Vorhies, Julie West and Lucy Hunter.
The Minutes of the previous meeting were approved, as posted on the Web site.
Jeremy asked for a report on the recent Portage Lakes Show. John Vorhies reported on the profit made on the show from the fine work of Bud Long on advertising and the hat and shirt sale by Julie West.
A committee was appointed by Jeremy to arrange a venue and menu for the annual meeting. Gil Maringer and Eric West and the respective wives will explore locations and dates. The weekend of December 12 and 13 was suggested, along with some locations. The committee will report at the October meeting, in time to send notices to the membership. Jack recalled that NCO had always tendered an offer to the President of ACBS to attend at our cost. Gil will let Jack know as soon as a venue and date are determined, so that an invitation can be sent to incoming President Dick Werner or Gail Turner. A MOTION was made and PASSED to underwrite the cost of room and board for the invitee, not travel costs.
A Nominating Committee was appointed to come up with a slate of officers for the annual meeting. Jeremy will chair the committee with Ray McFarland, Cliff Wolfe and Lucy Hunter as members.
An Awards Committee was named to include Jack Lynett, Greg Glick and Bill Hunter. The First Mate Award, The President’s Cup, the John Smith Award and the Golden Hose Clamp award will be announced at the annual meeting.
Les reported on the progress of the IX committee. Jeremy has agreed to help in the signs and trailer protectors. Les was given a budget of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) and will report next month on his talks with Ken Albee. The suggestion of carpet runners was made, and will be explored.
John Vorhies reported on the state of the treasury and the fact that membership is presently at 101. John continued with his report on the Conneaut show. John has indicated that the attendance was low and participation slow, and it might be wise for the Chapter to maybe direct more attention to the Lakeside show and abandon the Conneaut show. More to come in future months on this topic.
The next meeting was determined to be at Dimitri’s again, and is scheduled for October 6th, 2008.
On MOTION, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted.
Jack Lynett
Secretary
