MINUTES OF NORTH COAST OHIO MEETING
A discussion was held concerning the Rendezvous. Jack Lynett thought it had run its course, and the last Rendezvous was expensive to the treasury with a loss of more than $700.00 and was poorly attended. Jack felt that the continued drain on the treasury should not continue. It was suggested that we not have the event catered, and return to the days when we brought our own food and cooked it. Bill Hunter expressed an interest in continuing the event, and agreed to become chairman. It was MOVED, SECONDED and PASSED that the Rendezvous be held at Turkeyfoot Island Club on June2. The indoor boat show at the IX center was discussed and is scheduled for January 12 thru 21, 2007. Les informed the Board that the theme would be more inclusive this year with the new director Ken Alvey. Jim Bassett agreed to again schedule the boats and people, and a MOTION was made, SECONDED and PASSED to again support the presence of NCO at the IX center. Bill Hunter next presented his varnish report. Bill had prepared 8 identical pieces of mahogany, and used 8 well known products in an effort to determine how each product held up to the weather. He followed the manufacturer’s directions straight from the can for the application. The 8 panels were placed with a western exposure at the waters edge. The panels were outside for two seasons. Bill brought them for the Board to review. His conclusion was that at this point, there is little loss of sheen to any of the products, and they all looked almost identical. It was suggested that Bill put the panels out for another year, and report back on any significant changes. Eric West reported on the proposed menu for the annual meeting in December. John Vorhies reported on the status of the treasury, and it is generally at or near the same amount it was this time last year. The exact amount is not to be published, but members may contact John for further information. The Nominating Committee report was given by John Vorhies. The slate shall consist of: Greg Glick for President to 2008, Walt Stashkiw for Vice President to 2008, John Vorhies for Treasurer to 2008 and Jack Lynett for Secretary to 2008. Directors for 3 year terms till 2010 are Bud Long, Ray McFarland and Jim Bassett. Les Demaline reported that the small boat building project at the Inland Seas Museum is progressing. Les asked the Board for support in buying two boat kits, and letting the Museum assist the youth in the building process. It would not involve NCO members doing any hands-on work, but would assist youngsters who might not afford to enroll in the program. A MOTION was made, SECONDED and PASSED to allocate $550.00 to purchase 2 kit boats and permit the Museum to choose the youngsters to build them. Les will report more on this project as it progresses. John Howard, a director and past Vice President of ACBS, spoke on the up-coming ACBS international events at St. Simon GA, and Lake George NY. John encouraged NCO Board members to attend and participate in the activities of ACBS. John indicated he would be happy to explain events like the Hudson River Cruise to individual members after the meeting. A discussion was held concerning a spring workshop. It was suggested that perhaps Joe Hodges, a restorer at Portage Lakes, might be interested in opening his shop to NCO. Gil Maringer will check with him. An inquiry was made concerning the annual NCO calendar. Jack and Don Emery agreed to again produce the calendar, and to have it ready for sale at the annual meeting. On MOTION the meeting adjourned at 8:25 PM
Respectfully submitted
Jack Lynett Secretary
