August 10, 2010 - Meeting Minutes

Secretary’s Report: Steve called the meeting to order at 6:58. The minutes were read and accepted as recorded.

Treasurer's Report: The Treasurer’s Report was read and approved. Steve discussed the income and expenses for the month. A detailed Treasurer’s report is available to all members upon request.

Introduction of New Members and Guests: Yippee, we have one new member to introduce, and if you’ve been to any of the most recent activities you would have had the chance to meet her. Her name is Jane Delisle, make sure you introduce yourself to her the next time you see her. Welcome Jane, were glad you’re with us!

Past Events: First up, Sam and Linda’s, Anything but Bowling Bowling Party. Wow, what a mouthful! Well, we had about 17 bowlers having a _________ time (you fill in the blank). It’s really hard to tell who has the most fun, the bowlers or the spectators, hmmm...

Then off to Bru’s Room for another fantastic dinner with all trimmings. Glad that the Roger’s made an appearance and they didn’t even have to be reminded, way to go Bob and Dolly! I don’t know anyone that left there hungry and if you did, shame on you.

Next was Bella Roma’s for another great afternoon of food and friendship. And just to make sure we are all on the same planet, the food was terrific! Just ask Tony or Alan, the size of those Calzones and Stromboli’s, enough for a couple of meals!

Sam talked to us about a few of the cruise-ins and shows that he went to, to distribute the Tattoo fliers. Alan, Dawn, Kristen and John made the show at Maroone Plaza and distributed another 100 or so fliers.

Come on out to Tower Shops this Friday and help distribute some more.

Don’t forget, this Sunday the 15th is the Tattoo Show and Expo. We are the hosts of the show, come on out and help your club with parking, registration, 50/50 ticket sales, car judging, selling water and Gatorade and the multitude of other activities it takes to run a successful car show. YOUR club needs your help! Make sure you bring your hand held radio or walkie-talkie so that we all will be in constant communication.

Old Business: That would be the Tattoo Show and Expo! That’s right just in case you overlooked the bold writing above. Your club hosts the car show! Please re-read the bold lettering again.

New Business: Linda made mention of having a couple or three Club t-shirts that she has for free in size large if any of you women want them. Contact Linda for more information.

TK brought up a neat possibility for the November activity. It’s a boat cruise to the Lighthouse at Hillsboro Inlet and back on November the 13th. The boat ferries people over every hour back and forth, you can climb to the top of the lighthouse, explore the surrounding beach etc. Then off to an early “linner”. Oh, for those rookies, that’s a cross between lunch and dinner, “linner”. This tour is only available a few times a year so it sounds like it might be a cool thing to do. Stay tuned for more information.

Another activity brought up for a potential September Club social event was a brunch and show at Lip’s. This activity is for adults only as this is a show that includes female impersonators and can get very salty if you catch my drift. But everyone this person knows that has been there has had a great time.

Steve gave us a quick synopsis of Hot August Nights Car event out in Reno, NV. He says there were about 6000 cars. That’s right Pimp Daddy, 6000. The report was that he saw some of the most perfect cars that he has ever seen and if you ask me, that’s saying something. He took almost 1000 pictures and almost 3 hours of video, so look for some pictures to be floating around.

Social Events: Look above for the bold face type and reread what’s going on this Sunday, the 15th, that’s this Sunday.

See some of the New Business section for some more on Social Events. Kim Ford is to check into the Lip’s shows and times, maybe another trip to Bella Roma’s, October 3rd is the B I G picnic, e-mail Dawn Rooks if you have a favorite dish you might want to bring and share with your Clubies. (didn’t think I was going to use it this month did you? WRONG!) E-mail Dawn at penkrimelsmom@comcast.net and let her know what you want to bring. She will be coordinating the side foods. Tom Perna mentioned something about a wife auction, but more on that to follow.

Hey, and don’t forget about bringing your hand held radio or walkie talkie to the B I G event this Sunday! Look for the bold type in the sections above.

Charity: Still taking donations for the Women in Distress Center, of school supplies. Everything from kindergarten through high school. We will be taking collections up to the Tattoo Show, this Sunday, that’s the club’s car show, remember??? Steve will be going to the center first thing on Monday morning to drop off our donation.

For the month of August, our charity is a donation to the Joe DiMaggios’ Children’s Hospital, which comes from the Tattoo Show that is happening this Sunday, the 15th.

General Discussion: Why yes there was, and thanks for asking....

A motion was made to use club funds to purchase a couple of boat sized coolers in order to keep the water and Gatorade ice cold for selling them this Sunday at the Tattoo Show. Motion was seconded and approved.

More discussion on club activities, including the Tattoo Show duties, picnic and fees of $5.00 for all guests who attend the picnic, the club supplies the meats and stuff for the picnic, and Dawn Rooks will be coordinating the side foods that each of us usually bring for everyone to sample. Look for her e-mail address someplace else in these minutes. Don’t forget to start looking for items to donate to our annual picnic auction. Now is the time to donate all those things you considered “re-gifting” somewhere, and all those things you put on a shelf intending (but never actually happening) to put on your car or truck, etc. In addition, it’s not the time to be shy. You patronize local businesses all year (be they restaurants, barber or beauty shops, cleaners, etc) maybe they’ll be kind enough to donate a gift certificate for a meal or service!! All you have to do is ask. The worst thing that can happen is they say no!

Based upon the close proximity of the September Club meeting to the Labor Day holiday, with many of our members travelling and unavailable, it was decided to push back the monthly meeting to the second Tuesday, September 14th. Once again, this is an exception! Our regular first Tuesday meeting schedule will definitely resume in October.

We had a Bob Roger’s showing and he brought his daughter Alyson to have dinner with us. Glad to see you Bob, kind of reminds me of old times. Good times, good times.....

There was a motion to adjourn the meeting at 7:58, seconded and the meeting was formally adjourned. Sam won the 50/50 and donated it to Alyson for her birthday present on the 11th.

So, until this Sunday at the Tattoo Show, keep your wheels on the ground, hands on the wheel, stay in your lane and don’t look at that girl in the halter top (or for you women, the Canadian guy in the thong).

Next meeting, September the 14th, the second Tuesday of the month.

Later,

Alan Rooks - Secretary
