Monday, October 6, 2008
The MINUTES of the regular meeting of the Officers and Directors of the North Coast Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society, held October 6th, 2008 at Dimitri’s restaurant, Parma Ohio.

Guests included Al Jones and Mary Emery.
The Minutes of the previous meeting were approved with a slight change to be corrected. John Vorhies reported on the status of the treasury and the fact that the membership now stands at 102 members. Invitation letters to join NCO have been sent to Chris-craft Antique Club members who live in our area and who are not ACBS members. Letters were sent to ACBS members in our area who are not NCO members inviting them to join our chapter at the annual renewal. A recent issue of our Beacon Nerwsletter was provided to both groups
Gil reported on the Annual meeting and that it was scheduled for December 13th at Edgewater Yacht Club. A more specific report will be forthcoming to include dinner choices and more detail. Don and Mary Emery, Edgewater members, helped with the arrangements, and will again donate the desserts to NCO.
Walt and Jack and Bud reported on the ACBS annual meeting in September in Coeur D’alene Idaho. It was MOVED by Jack to invite Gail Turner, ACBS First Vice-President to our annual meeting. SECONDED by Bill Hunter, the motion PASSED. Jack will write to Gail Turner and invite her and her husband Bill, and will indicate that NCO will pick up the cost of their lodging.
Ray McFarland reported for the Nominating Committee and will have a further report at the next meeting. The vacancy of Jim Basset was discussed, and it was suggested that Eric West fill the remaining portion of the term. President Walt Stashkiw, with the approval of the Board, appointed Eric to the un-expired term to January 2010.
Jeremy Goldstein reported on the construction of wooden stands, to protect the shins of people who might run into a trailer tongue during the IX show and was authorized a budget of $500.00 for eight (8) the such stands. Jeremy will get quotes on some 4X4 signs as well. Eric West showed some vests that his wife Julie can make for the booth workers. It was suggested that 6 would be enough and Eric was authorized to have her proceed. The issue of shrink-wrap or just plastic wrap was discussed. It is helpful to cover the boats when leaving the IX center at the end of the show, because January weather is usually bad and salt from the streets harms the boats. Joe Nemes offered to buy the wrap and donate it to the Chapter and he will then use the left-over in his business.
The ACBS annual meeting in Muskoka Ontario Canada was discussed and many officers and directors are planning on the trip in September 2009. It was emphasized that a passport will be needed to get back into the US after such a trip. More information was to be obtained and published at a later date.
The Constitutional Committee reported that the revisions are near complete and that a final version will be presented at the next meeting, with a motion to approve the Constitution and By-laws and it was suggested that the final version be posted to the web.
President Walt show the Board the award he accepted at Coeur D’alene on behalf of NCO for the BEST WEBSITE, and congratulations go out to Dan White for his work.
The next meeting was scheduled for November 3rd at Dimitri’s restaurant.
On MOTION the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted.
