MINUTES OF NORTH COAST OHIO MEETING
November 2, 2009

MINUTES of a regular meeting of the Officers and Directors of the North Coast Ohio Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society Inc., held on November 2, 2009 at Dimitri’s Restaurant, Parma Ohio.

The President called the meeting to Order at 6:40pm.

Present were President Walt Stashkiw, Vice President Jeremy Goldstein, Treasurer John Vorhies and Secretary Jack Lynett along with Directors Dave Williams, Joe Nemes, Gil Maringer, Don Emery, Bud Long, Bill Hunter, Ray McFarland, Marilyn Demaline, Les Demaline and Gary Kosiba. Members present included Mary Emery, Lucy Hunter, Rose McFarland, Jim Denny, Char Denny and Debbie Kosiba and guest Pat Bradshaw.

The Minutes of the last meeting which were provided by e-mail and which are posted on the NCO web site were APPROVED.

John Vorhies presented the Treasury report and provided a copy of the check register to the President. There is no major change in the financial status of the organization. John next reported on the Membership committee. One new member, Ross Keifer has joined the Chapter since the last meeting, bringing the total membership to 96.

Gil Maringer reported next on the coming annual meeting. Serious questions arose concerning the location, the costs and a failure to obtain a Yachting Club member, to save the Chapter 5 percent. A discussion was held and alternative locations were explored to include Dimitris along with  discussion of the costs and the contribution of the Chapter to the overall cost of the evening. On MOTION made by Bill Hunter, SECONDED by Greg Glick, it was RESOLVED that the Chapter subsidize the event for costs beyond thirty dollars ($30) per person. In addition, any proceeds from the silent auction, would be used to assist in the subsidiy,

Les Demaline reported on the IX show, which will feature Portage Lakes boats this year.
Les reported that the Portage Lakes Historical Society is assisting us with the booth and table. Les reports that the future of the 10 day show at the IX center is still undecided because of some questions concerning the economy, but if the show goes ahead, NCO will have its prominent space under the Ferris wheel again, near the center of the show.
A count was obtained by Bill Hunter of the boats that were coming and it appears that enough boats will be present. It was suggested that a video player again be obtained, so that the public can see other activities of the  chapter. The IX show is scheduled for January 15 thru the 24, 2010. Les presented a budget to the Board indicating the expected costs, using the carpet purchased last year, and the “tongue protectors” built by Jeremy last year.

Jack Lynett and Bill Hunter reported on a recent trip to the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton NY and the delivery of Jack’s “Boat-in-a-box’ to the museum’s permanent collection. Jack and Bill urged any NCO member that has not seen the museum, to consider the trip. A suggestion was made that perhaps sometime in the near future, that a “road trip” be planned either by charter bus, or caravan with boats to enjoy the St. Lawrence river, the Thousand Islands and the museum.

The Spring Workshop was discussed. While no specific date was yet chosen, a discussion was held concerning the location. Restoration shops such as Jeremy’s and Ray McFarland’s were suggested. President Walt appointed a committee of Bill Hunter, Ray McFarland, Jeremy Goldstein and Gil Maringer to explore the options and report to the Board their recommendations at the annual meeting in December.

It was determined that the Rendezvous would again be held at the Turkeyfoot Island Club on May 29, 2010 and Jack agreed to again be the chairman of the event.

The date of June 26, 2010 was chosen for the Portage Lakes show.

Bill Hunter reported that the Awards committee was all set for the coming annual meeting, and Gil Maringer agreed to assist in the presentation ceremonies.

Jack confirmed that the guests, ACBS Vice-president Jim Mersman and his wife Wendy, will attend and Greg agreed to obtain the traditional “goodie” package for them. Some items will be added that evening.

Jack reported that the Fall issue of the Beacon had gone to press, and Les reported it had  been mailed today.

The next scheduled meeting of the Officers and Directors following the annual meeting will be held January 4, 2010 at Dimitri’s restaurant, Parma OH

 Being no further business before the Board, on MOTION the meeting adjourned at 8:24pm

Respectfully submitted
