Proceedings

The meeting was called to order at 7:07 p.m. by President, Greg Glodery.  The secretary ascertained that a quorum was present before continuing with the meeting.

The meeting minutes were accepted as submitted in April.  Steve Towers made a motion to accept and Marietta Darke seconded the motion.

Old Business

1.                  NCCC and NCM Happenings.  Ellis Chee, NCM Ambassador, didn’t have much to report other than the NCCC West Coast Region Meeting that was held on April 24th in Victorville.  Ellis mentioned details of the meeting were available in the CSS April newsletter.

2.                  May 22nd Gimmick Rallye Class.  Flyers were made available to members.  See additional details under “May Social Event.”

3.                  August 21st CSS Club Car Show.  Steve McDaniel, Chairman, reported that Co-Chair positions have been filled but they still need more volunteers. 

§         Ron Kennedy has accepted position as photographer for the event.

§         Donna Stewart will confirm with the Elks Lodge the room rental fee.

§         Esther McDaniel will mail flyers to last year’s participants (39 non-CSS club members).  She will wait until Hal Oberman re-prints the flyer with NCCC-sanctioned number.  (Hal came through as usual!  Flyers were mailed on May 10.) 

§         Mike Cooper to print the flyer in June and July’s newsletter. 

§         It was agreed by the Board that non-entry cars will not park on the lot during this event.

4.                  Membership Cards and Stickers.  Ken Vasilik and Ostroms Chevrolet decided that a club discount number was not necessary for CSS members to receive special discounts on parts and labor.  Just a show of the membership card was good enough.  Ann Meeuwenberg passed around new stickers to cover the old sponsor’s name and address located on the back of the membership cards.

5.                  Newsletter Biographies.  Hal Oberman will do the honors and interview a member for May’s issue.

New Business

Cal.  The class begins at 9:00 a.m. at Sizzler on 1401 N.

1.                  Treasurer’s Report.  Ann Meeuwenberg gave the Treasurer’s report.  She also mentioned that members can sponsor a trophy for the August 21st car show for only $15.00.  To date, 10 trophies have been sold and there are 18 left.  Your name will appear on the trophy that you choose to sponsor.  Ann also mentioned that we are now 101 members strong.

2.                  NCCC-Sanctioned Events.  Ellis Chee mentioned our car show and golf tournament are now sanctioned events.  The car show is WC-0422 and the golf tournament is WC-0423.  Ellis also mentioned that Ron and Linda Officer celebrated their 10th Anniversary as members.

Marietta also mentioned a price quote she received to print the CSS stationery with a two-tone, gold foil per 1000 sheets at $334.  The Board will authorize this reasonable offer. 

Marietta needs the help of all club members to donate raffle prizes or get support from their community to make the August 21st club event that much better.  We know we can count on one and all but sometimes a friendly reminder will help us to take some time out of our daily routines to give to the club.  Letters are available upon request with the CSS Tax ID number to encourage businesses to make a tax deductible donation.
