Bill Hunter made a motion to accept the nominations as presented; seconded by Ray McFarland. Because Jack Lynett has accepted the nomination for the Board Position of Secretary, it was moved and accepted that Gil Maringer remain on the Board as the Past President/Director for 2006. A notice will be sent to all NCO members announcing the slate of officers for 2006 along with the details of the annual meeting which will be on December 3, 2005 at the Edgewater Yacht Club. As members of Edgewater, Don and Mary Emery will co-chair the annual event. The Board voted to have the same entrees that were offered on last year's menu. NCO has agreed to pay for the hors d'oeuvres. Eric West offered to work with the Emery's to finalize the menu and help with the ordering of the hors d'oeuvres for the evening's event. Cliff Wolfe made a motion to accept Eric West's offer. Motion was seconded by Bill Hunter and passed by the Board. The Board agreed to not have a speaker for the evening, but will invite the new ACBS President, Jeff Rogers to attend as a guest of NCO. We will pay for the cost of overnight accommodations and the banquet meal. We will also hold a Silent Auction. Board members are asked to bring items to contribute to the auction. Don Emery will set up a continuous slide show of 2005 boating events that will run throughout the evening. Jack Lynett will publish the Annual Meeting Notices and mail to all NCO members.

Les Demaline introduced Jim Bassett who has agreed to run the show at the IX Center from January 13-27, 2006. The Board agreed to continue the IX show since it offers us the opportunity to educate the public about our hobby and the preservation of antique and classic wood boats. Members who are interested in displaying their boats at the show are requested to contact Jim Bassett.

The Board agreed to continue sponsoring the annual Rendezvouz at the Turkeyfoot Island Club. Members would like to continue having this event catered. Further information will be forthcoming after the election of officers for 2006.

The Club will look at alternatives to replace the Vermilion Show. Consideration will be given to moving to Lyman Harbor in Sandusky if a date is available.
Gil Maringer would like to encourage NCO members in the Lake Chautauqua area to assume responsibility for that show. Jack will send letters to those members in New York to determine if there is an interest in taking over this show.

The Portage Lake Fourth of July Show will proceed for 2006.

Comments were shared among the Board members that 2006 might be a good year for NCO members to attend some ACBS Boat Shows in other areas outside the North Coast of Ohio. It is a great opportunity to see new places and meet new faces.

There was discussion on the future of the Beacon Newsletter and whether we should continue it in its current format or consider jobbing it out to a third party. President- Elect Greg Glick will review options for publishing a special Boat Show edition for the I-X Show and will look at costs of adding such things as colored photos and the number of editions to be published each year. We will also review newsletters published by other chapters for new ideas and formats.

Jack Lynett announced that ACBS member Jim Shotwell is now offering for sale Chris Craft kit boats, an item that was offered by Chris Craft in the 1950's. As a chapter that has been active in promoting youth membership and involvement, it is possible that NCO may be offered a kit free of charge. Cliff Wolfe and Bill Hunter moved that we accept such a gift, if it is offered.

The meeting adjourned at 9:25 PM. The next meeting will be at Anthe's Restaurant in Portage Lakes on Monday, November 7, 2005 at 6:00 PM.


Respectfully submitted,

Marilyn Demaline, Secretary
