MINUTES OF NORTH COAST OHIO MEETING The following are the Minutes of the regular meeting of the Officers and Directors of the North Coast Ohio Chapter of the Antique & Classic Boat Society Inc, held November 6, 2007 at Dimitri’s Restaurant, Parma Ohio. The meeting was called to Order by President Greg Glick at 6:50 PM. Present were VP Walt Stashkiw, Secretary Jack Lynett, Treasurer John Vorhies, Past President Gil Maringer, and Directors Jim Basset, Les Demaline, Don Emery, Jeremy Goldstein, Eric West and Bill Hunter. Guests included Marilyn Demaline, Al Jones, Cheryl Maringer, Kim Vorhies, Mary Emery, Tom and Marty Belfi, Kevin Ropes, Julie West, Kathy Stashkiw, Dave Williams, Chris Gillcrist, and Lucy Hunter. A new attendance record of 24 members was established. Greg asked for the approval of the minutes of the October meeting, which were posted on the web site. It was MOVED, SECONDED and PASSED that the minutes be approved. The Nominating committee reported the “slate” officers for the coming annual meeting: Walt Stashkiw for President, Jeremy Goldstein for VP, Jack Lynett for Secretary and John Vorhies for Treasurer. All of these officers were nominated for a one (1) year term beginning January 1 2008. The committee nominated Bill Hunter, Les Demaline and Gil Maringer for the position of Director, serving 3 year terms to January 2011. In addition, the committee recommended Marilyn Demaline to fill the vacancy when Jeremy Goldstein moves to Vice President, and the committee provided the incoming president with 7 suggestions to fill the five available Director-at-Large positions. Les and Jim Basset reported on the coming show at the IX center in Cleveland. Jim is looking for boats and has 7 at this time. Les has talked with Ken Albee the director of the show and Ken would like NCO to again conduct the sailboat contests at the large water pond. Les will talk more with Ken, but NCO is willing to again construct the boat kits, and Les will supervise the sailboat contests. It was suggested that perhaps the Lyman Club would lend some manpower during the construction phase of the boat building. It is estimated that 100 kits will be needed. NCO had invited the ACBS President to the annual meeting, and since he had other commitments, it was suggested that Jack write to Mike Lloyd, Commodore of the Lyman Boat Owners, extending the invitation to Mike and his spouse to attend at our expense, and NCO would offer to pay the hotel expense as well. The annual winter workshop was discussed, and Gil Maringer offered the facilities at BoatCraft again this year. It was suggested that since it was held at that location last year, that perhaps Jeremy would open the doors to his shop. Gil and Jeremy will work out the details, to be announced at a coming meeting. It was suggested that the date be coordinated with the other schedules of ACBS activity. The discussion of the annual calendar was next. It was determined to again proceed with the calendar, and Jack would try and find another vendor, since Office Max told him not to come back. It was suggested that at all shows, that a “dress code” be established. It would be desirable if all the NCO members attending an NCO event, wear the same color tee shirt and cap. This would give recognition to the members and staff, and provide high visibility for the benefit of the visiting public. Les will look into he cost of shirts and caps and will report at a future meeting. Walt circulated an outline of the various steps necessary for a successful NCO show at Portage Lakes. Most all of the items on the list had been performed by Walt, and he asked for some board members to step-up and take over some of the activities. Some board members signed up for some of the parts of the outline. Walt will call on others to help with the show and will assign duties well in advance of the June event. John Vorhies reported on the membership numbers (105) and he reported on the state of the treasury. Any member wishing to know more about the state of the treasury should contact John. The exact numbers will not be published in the internet with these minutes. Chris Gillcrist reported on the status of the Museum’s move from Vermillion. It appears that Lorain has made the Museum an offer, and Cris indicated the Museum is moving in that direction. Cris reminded NCO that a donation check of $550 was never received at the Museum and that they have had other mail-related problems. John Vorhies will re-issue the check and since the earlier one is probably “stale”, John will not incur the added cost of a “stop” order. Bill Hunter brought the “varnish boards” and reported on the 3 year progress on his test. Bill will write a report on the various brands of varnish, the application and the effects of the sun, wind and weather on the identical boards with different manufacturers. Respectfully submitted
Jack Lynett
