A
motion was made by D.
Walter to purchase a new computer and Timing Program to run
our AutoCrosses. The amount allowed by the board was
$1,200.00. Ours was made by someone in the SCCA club and it
is obsolete. The
reason for the new computer is the new operating system will
not run on windows ME which is what we have.
We need windows XP.
To have this put onto the old computer it will cost
us about $500.00. This
motion was seconded by Mike Strayer and motion was passed by
everyone. The
plan for the old computer is to give it to the Treasurer to
put the club’s operating information on it.
Club

you wish to send an e- mail to one individual use the club

CVCC
Board Meeting
Febuary
14th,
2006
Meeting
Opened: VP
J. Priestner presided over the meeting in the absence of the
president.
Board
Meetings: Make
sure everyone understands the Board Meetings are the 3rd
Tuesday of the month. There was an error in the
newsletter.
Club

Miller $615.78 paid for the new radio equipment.
Judging
school:
To be held at M. Ludt's March 19th @ 1:00.

April
meeting: Reminder
Club meeting changed to April 13th because several members
will be on a cruise.
Club
jackets: B.
Grove will get a sample club jacket to show everyone.
Awards
Banquet: Dave
has flier up on East Region website and our CVCC website
regarding the awards banquet.
Karen and Jack have sent out invitations to the top
10 East Region winners in each category inviting them to the
banquet. This
was done last year and we received a lot of positive
feedback, so decided to do it again.
Trophies: T&J
Trophies have all awards about complete. Judy will be
picking them up around March 15th. Discussion about whether
or not people want trophies.
G. Wolf discussed the possibility of giving the
people who receive a trophy as a “points achiever” a
choice of getting a trophy or donating the money to our
charity fund instead. This discussion was brought up because
numerous people have expressed that they don’t have a need
to receive so many trophies.
Exceptions might include fractured fiber, rookie of
the year, president’s award, etc.
Jack discussed the possibility of decreasing the
number of categories we give trophies for.
Dave also suggested possibly using certificates
instead of trophies. In
the past, we have had a program available on each table
which listed who was receiving what awards.
This is another way to give those people recognition.
Also could list in the newsletter.
The board will wait until after the awards banquet
for further discussion on this issue.
The club is paying for the DJ, centerpieces, DJ’s
meal, etc for the awards banquet, in order to support those
members who have contributed to the club throughout the
year.
Pocono:
D. Walter reports registration is now full. He has 2
people on a waiting list already. M. Ludt & G. Miller are in charge of workers. If you’ve never been to our driving school and are
interested in seeing what it is all about, come out and work
this event. See Mike or Gary.
Charity
Committee: Car
proceeds need to be dispersed this year.
M. Hurly will be in charge of the charity committee.
Dave mentioned that ProTeam has agreed to double any
donations made to the Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation.
There may be other organizations around that have
similar programs. If anyone is aware of any, let a board member or Mike know
about it. Discussion
followed regarding what percentage of the profit from the
car will be donated to charity.
From the profit cleared, 80% will go to charity, 20%
will go toward club improvements. All of this money is
currently in a CD until decisions are made about the money.
Fall
Rallye: Keith
may do a rallye or cruise to Huntington County in the fall.
New
Laptop: L.
Kiser will be downloading new software for the new club
laptop computer. We will want to get together
once this is done to co-ordinate software with the timing
equipment. Will advise of date.
Go-Karts: M.
Ludt is planning a go-kart night at Carlisle Sports Emporium
7-9 pm on March 15. Cost
should be approximately $40 per person, if we get 20 people.
If you are interested in joining this fun event,
email Karen at jaxkar@suscom.net,
or let M. Ludt know at the March meeting. Money will
be due at the March meeting to M. Ludt. If you cannot
make it to the March meeting and are interested in joining
in, give him a call.

a call from Spencer Newcomer of YCCC, they are inviting our
club to a bowling tournament on Saturday March 25th at 4:00

Summit
Point Driving School: Northern
Virginia Corvette Club is having a high speed driving school
on the big track at Summit Point on Monday April 10th.

Spring
Carlisle:
Flea
market April 20-23rd. Our club has a couple of spots
available. Dave said that J. Watts will be at Carlisle
all weekend. Club members can bring car
parts'accessories to sell. See John, if
interested.
New
Member Readings: A
discussion was held regarding whether or not potential
members should have to be present during their first or
second readings. Nothing in our club Constitution
requires potential members to be in attendance. If we
do change the by-laws, it would refer to a requirement for
attendance, at least, a candidate's first or second reading,
with exception made for a "hardship" (such as
working second shift), excused by a board member.
Discussion will continue on this topic as it would require a
change in our by-laws. The possibility of a by-laws
committee was discussed, as if we are going to make one
change to the by-laws we should look at the by-laws in their
entirety to see what other changes might need to be made.
Respectfully
Submitted,
Karen
(In
the absence of club secretary, Judy)
