MINUTES OF NORTH COAST OHIO MEETING
The first order of business was the approval of the minutes from the October meeting. John Vorhies reported a treasury balance of $10,152.00. As Membership Chairman, John reported a current member roster of 129, 7 more than last year. REPORTS OF 2005 EVENTS: NCO will again have a display at the IX Center Boat Show from January 14-23, 2005. Les Demaline, Chairman reported that the show has given the club a 30' x 50' space. He is attempting to locate a Chris Craft Cobra and a Silver Arrow to display this year along with some of our member boats. The addition of this kind of craft allows us a chance to display different types of boats that are not owned by members of the NCO Chapter. If the owner of a Cobra that Les has already contacted consents to bring his boat to the show, a motion was made by Bill Hunter, seconded by Don Emery to provide up to $450.00 to the Cobra owner, who is an ACBS Member, to defray the expense of bringing his boat to the show from Cincinnati. Motion carried. Les will continue to pursue the Cobra and a Silver Arrow. In addition we discussed purchasing some type of free-standing pennants or flags to set up at the show that would display the NCO Chapter activities. Jack Lynett, John Herwick, and Chip Judd will check with some local vendors for the availability of this kind of product as well as the cost. A motion was made by Dennis Naylon, seconded by Bud Long to spend up to $500.00 for the banners that could be used at both inside and outside shows. Motion carried. Bill Hunter will chair the Annual Rendezvous event on June 4, 2005 at the Turkey Foot Island Club. Vermilion Boat Show is scheduled for June 25, 2005, chaired by Les Demaline. Portage Lakes Show is scheduled for July 2, 2005. Jack will confirm with Walt Stashkiw that he will chair the show again. The Chautauqua, New York Show is scheduled for July 16, 2005 and will be coordinated by Gil Maringer and Holiday Harbor. There will be an invitational event for NCO members again in August at the Turkey Foot Island Club.

To use the on-line request for check submission, members should go to the NCO Web Page, Members Only, and enter [deleted] and [deleted] as the password.. Dan also plans to publish a winter issue of The Beacon that will include a report from the Annual Meeting on elections and awards. Don Emery, Chairman, reports that the Annual Meeting will
be on Saturday, December 11 at the Edgewater Yacht Club. We
will begin with cocktails at 6:00 PM, dinner at 7:30, followed
by a short business meeting and presentation of awards. Jack
Lynett will mail the meeting invitations along with the ballots
for election of officers and directors to all NCO members.
Don has prepared a slide show of boats and boating activities
that will be played throughout the evening. Denny Naylon,
Chairman of the Nominating Committee presented the following
ballot for 2005: Director till January 2006 Don Emery (To replace Dennis
Naylon's ) Our constitution now allows appointment of up to five directors for one-year terms. Jack Lynett will review our constitution and consider amending it so the President can appoint as many directors as he wants, subject to the approval of the Board. Gil Maringer gave a report on the Portage Lakes Dock Project. Gil, along with 5 NCO members, Jack Lynett, Bill Hunter, John Vorhies, Ray McFarland, Scott Shookman, and Barge Captain/Owner Norm Schoenmeyer accomplished the revamping of the docks at the State Marina. They covered the bolts that were a detriment to any boat launching at this ramp site, and especially so for a wooden boat. In two days the volunteers completed this project. Cost to the Club was just $584.00 for the materials and the use of the barge. A news article commending the project was reported in the November 1 edition of The Suburbanite and details and pictures will appear in the winter issue of The Beacon. Good job, Guys! Bill Hunter will do the 2005 calendar and expects to have them ready for the Annual Meeting. He requests pictures of member's boats, preferably pictures of boats under power moving through the water. Dan White asks that he be allowed to do a new copy of our logo since Cliff has not yet provided same. Cliff will be contacted once more time. If not provided, Dan will have one made. A work day will be set to complete the Sail Boat kits for the Youth Sail Boat race in Vermilion. Members will be notified. Ray McFarland reported that he may have access to a Chris Craft kit boat. If so, the club may use it for a pattern that could become a project for a youth member. Les Demaline proposed that we schedule a Spring Workshop for the coming April. It was suggested that we contact John Riddle, a boat restorer from Vermilion to see if he would be interested in hosting one. John Herwick asked the club to consider a donation that may help a needy family, boater or a serviceman. This will be explored. Before adjournment, Lucy Hunter congratulated John and Nancy Herwick on their 24th Anniversary which was November 1. Future meetings scheduled are the Annual Meeting on December 11 at Edgewater Yacht Club and a regular Board Meeting on Monday, January 3, 2005 at Dimitri's Restaurant. Meeting adjourned at 9:30 PM. Respectfully submitted,
