July 8, 2008 - Meeting Minutes

Secretary’s Report: Steve called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM. The minutes were read and approved as reported.

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

Introduction of New Members and Guests: Wow, we had 14 new guests and members show up this time. What were you all doing? PHSYC! There were actually no new members or guests. But there could have been if only we started to promote the club! What do you guys say, let's start asking some of those car folks that we talk to if they are interested in a fun group of people and get them to a meeting! Remember, guests are always welcome at all our meetings and events.

Past Events: Well to begin with, let’s check in with our “Show Ho” and find out if he was at every show possible in the last month. The 4th of July show had about 92 cars and our Rick Rose won a Top 25 Trophy, and you guessed it, a tee shirt! Next was a cruise-in to Flakowitz Deli. Rick reports that this cruise-in is the first Saturday of the month and the food is great. Check our Rockin’ Rich’s web site for more info and look at the social events, just in case. There was an update on the Mustang Club’s show. Our own Rick Rose and Alan Rooks each won a trophy out of the 739 cars that were in the Spring Festival Flea Market Show. Way to support the Club guys!

Old Business: Tee shirts are due any day now. You’ll be wearing yours soon Tony, so don’t worry too much. Check out your e-mail for a message from Steve when they arrive.

The Tattoo Show is coming up fast so get ready to help us out. We’ll need help in all areas, parking, judging, water sales, and 50/50 sales. You name it, we need your help at it. The first group should plan to be there around 8:00 to start parking cars and anyone else can come as they can. Wash your ride and come out and help support YOUR club!

New Business: See the Social Events section for the new business on Flakowitzs’. Or is it New Business under the Social Events section? Who knows? Pimp Daddy Tony doesn’t. I just thought I would throw that in there just in case. By the way, help us find the Grasso’s. Send in your guess for a chance to win Tony’s broken lights. You know you want too. Just think, they may be worth nothing someday, and wouldn’t that make your retirement? Hmmmm?

Social Events: First is the “something like bowling” night with Sam and Linda. Then dinner to follow at Scrubys Bar-B-Que. They have it set up so that if you purchase a dinner special, to be named at the restaurant, you’ll get 5.00 off you bill. WOW, thanks guys! (Side note; Dawn, you can have those ribs now.) Okay, getting back to the minutes. The “something like bowling” starts at 3:00 at Strykers Family Bowling, on 44th St between University Dr. and Pine Island Road. See you there…! Then from the New Business section, we are planning a cruise to Flakowitz (like you couldn’t guess) on Saturday the 6th of September for a Cruise-in, and food as our September Club social event for the month. Yes that’s right FOOD, glorious food… Oh sorry, got carried away there for a minute. (No pun intended.) Wash your sled, and come on and join us!

Charity: Last month our charity was the USO for all the good work they do for the Servicemen and Women at home and abroad. Bringing a little bit of home to a far away country. We even had an anonymous donor of an extra 50.00 for them, making the total donation sent $150.00. What a bunch of generous people. Above and beyond, I say thank-you, to whom ever it was. This month and next is our school supply donations for the Women in Distress in Ft Lauderdale. During this time we will be collecting school supplies to pass out to those served by Women in Distress. For those who wish, you can make a cash donation. We plan on sending our expert shoppers out with donation monies to fill in the gaps for the kids. See the web site or contact Steve so that he can meet you to collect your donation. Or better yet, bring it with you to our next club meeting and get involved!

General Discussion: Dream Cars Museum, still a possibility. Evie is working on a Charity listing of all the donations made since day one of the Club, for all to see. Think about a charity for September, and whether or not this belonged in the General Discussion section or the Charity section. Hmmm?

For any other information, check out the web pages and check your e-mail. Except Johnny C., you check your Post Office box….

Linda won the 50/50 and donated all the proceeds to the toothbrush fund for the kids. (See Evie for info on this long running necessity.) There was a motion to adjourn the meeting at 7:45, seconded and …………………

See you at our next meeting on the 12th of August!

Alan Rooks - Secretary
