NOVEMBER -- MONTHLY BOARD MEETING
The Board meeting was held at the home
of the Bowen's on November 18th and opened by the President.
Eight of the ten officers and board members were present.
Ken acknowledged the success of the
Penn National Race Track night out under the coordination of
Keith. The Board recommends that it be repeated next
year.
The Board commended Board members
Marlin, Bill and Dave for their joint coordination of the
successful Rufe Fun Show, Auction & Funkhana. The
Board recommends that next year's show earmark 100% of the
proceeds to the Elks Club from the auction portion of the
show only. Much discussion followed as to the
guidelines to follow in the future when designating proceeds
from club events. The Board also discussed the club's
assets/expenses and options to increase income.
The upcoming bus trip to Wellsboro was
discussed. The bus company requires an additional $80
for insurance/clean up if the club decides to allow beer on
the bus. The Board recommends that this is not an
expense that the club should absorb.
Dave gave a report on the 2004 Pocono
Driving School. The deposit for the track will be
mailed on November 21st. Dave will be mailing the
brochures to individuals on his driving school mailing list
by the end of November. There will be no increase in
cost for 2004. Dave will look into getting a 'porta-potty'
for the workers on the track infield.
Dave reported that the tentative date
set for next year's H&H Show (Sept. 25th) has a conflict
with Perry County Corvette Club's sanctioned event.
The H&H Show may have to move to an earlier date in
September.
The Board reviewed the most recent list
of club members who renewed their memberships for
2004. We have 208 paid members, down from 229.
NCCC may increase their dues by $10 next year.
Carlisle has invited CVCC to
participate in their Holiday Parade scheduled for Saturday,
December 6th, at 10:00 AM.
Since 2005 marks the 40th anniversary
of CVCC, the Board discussed the possibility of a car raffle
(40th Anniversary Corvette). More discussions to
follow.
The Awards Banquet is scheduled for
April 3rd. Dave will compile the NCCC points to be
added to CVCC point tabulation. The East Region Awards
ceremony will also be included in our Awards Banquet
evening, as we have done in the past.
Dave reported that Gathersburg Corvette
Club has invited CVCC to celebrate their club's 20th
anniversary. Invitation will be announced at monthly
club meeting.
Gary suggested that a club member, who
may be interested in the Treasurer position in the future,
volunteer to learn this position's duties during the year
2004 (in the event that Gary chooses not to run in the
future). Although this is officially an
"elected" position, someone with experience is
recommended due to the complexity of the accounting tasks.
The Board discussed options for
selecting a regular meeting place for the board
meetings. The Elks in Carlisle and the Ole Yale House
in Mechanicsburg are being considered.
The next Board Meeting will be held at
the Sunnyside Restaurant in Carlisle on December 16th, at 6:00 PM.
All current and new Board members are invited.
Spouses/guests are included. Cost of dinners is the
board members' responsibility.
With no additional discussion, the meeting
adjourned at 9:00 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Acting CVCC Club Secretary
Trish
