MINUTES OF NORTH COAST OHIO MEETING Minutes of the regular meeting of the Officers and Directors of the North Coast Ohio Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society Inc., held Monday November 3, 2008 at Dimitri’s restaurant in Parma Ohio. The meeting was called to Order by Jeremy Goldstein at 6:30 PM Present were: Vice President Jeremy Goldstein, Treasurer John Vorhies, Secretary Jack Lynett, Directors Joe Nemes, Dave Williams, Don Emery, Gil Maringer, Bud Long, Bill Hunter, Cliff Wolfe, Ray McFarland, Les Demaline and Marilyn Demaline. Guests included Mary Emery, Cheryl Maringer, Ginger Long, Rose McFarland, Kim Vorhies, Gary Kosiba, and Past President Greg Glick. Jack Lynett reported on the Constitutional Committee and the Constitution and By-laws as were presented via e-mail and at the last meeting were approved on MOTION. Slight changes in some spelling were to be corrected and the Constitution and By-laws will be posted on the NCO web site.. John Vorhies reported on the state of the treasury and the fact that the membership totals seem to be standing firm at 102. Les Demaline reported on the coming Mid-America boat show at the IX center. A discussion was held concerning new and old signs. It was determined that our old banners were apparently in the possession of one of the Belfi brothers, and Les would attempt to get them for use at the show. New signs were discussed and it was determined that Jeremy would get two signs, each 4 foot by 4 foot and Jeremy would make the standards to hold the signs, A sample of the wording was passed around and corrections and suggestions made. Next followed a discussion of carpet. It was determined that the price that Les had obtained was the best since it included binding. Les was to proceed with getting the carpet. Vests were discussed and it was determined that 4 vests would be sufficient and Les will proceed along those lines. The overall cost to the chapter of the IX show was discussed. Many of the expense items will have a useful life of many years, and are really investments. On MOTION of Don Emery and SECOND by Bill Hunter, a limit of $1400.00 was placed on the IX show to include the signs, carpet, banners, printing and “shin-protectors” to be made by Jeremy. The MOTION passed without dissent. Gil reported on the annual meeting. The notices are ready and will go in the mail shortly. The menu is secured and the notices will include the ballot for the election of officers. ACBS vice-president John Bergstrom has accepted NCO’s invitation and will attend with his wife Pat. Greg Glick has agreed to provide two “goodie” or gift bags to be presented to John and Pat at the meeting. Nice nautical items for the silent auction are sought. Ray McFarland reported on the Nominations Committee and those officers and directors whose terms were ending have all agreed to stand for re-election. Jack reported that the Awards Committee has met many times via e-mail and has made its selections, which will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Gil has volunteered to assist in the presentation of the traditional Golden Hose Clamp award. A discussion followed on the 2009 NCO pictorial calendar. It was MOVED and SECONDED and PASSED that we again produce the calendar, but that in future years, arrangements be made for a “fly-by” session so that the calendar can reflect the boats in motion, rather than static at a dock. On MOTION, SECONDED and PASSED it was determined to continue paying the costs of Dan White, our web-master for his work on our site, which has twice won international awards. The coming season was discussed and it was determined that April 4 2009 would be appropriate for the Spring Workshop at BoatCraft. The 30th of May 2009 was determined to be the date for the Rendezvous at the Turkeyfoot Island Club, and Jack will assign duties and will provide the burgers and dogs again and will cook. Cliff indicated that Vermilion has asked us to return and it was suggested that we all support such shows as Toledo August 22, Indian Lake July 18, Buckeye and Chautauqua. It was announced that Chautauqua will be at a different location than Holiday Harbor, where it has been for years. It was suggested that a presidential duty should be to place all of these shows on the web, publish them in the Beacon and be certain that our events bet sent to ACBS for inclusion on its web site and the Rudder Magazine. Marilyn filled us in on their recent visit to the Michigan chapters. Michigan will host the 2010 ACBS annual meeting at a new venue and Les will be the chief-judge for that event. Other events of interest are the quarterly meeting at St. Michaels MD on the Chesapeake Bay June 19th, and the annual meeting in Gravenhurst Ontario Canada next September. Jack pointed out that the show at St. Michaels has changed its rules to permit judging of boats on land. The Bay is salt water, many boat owners do not want to bring boats and subject them to the salt water, so this year, they can be judged on land. Marilyn suggested we consider a “yearbook” with lots of pictures and stories instead of the quarterly newsletter as is the custom with the Michigan chapters. There being no further business, on MOTION the meeting was adjourned at 8:15pm. Respectfully submitted
Jack Lynett
