Old Business: Past Events;
The Vacaville Car Show was discussed and the Club Participation Trophy that was awarded to TACA GSC in error was given to Dennis Trimble for delivery to the GTO Club along with our apologies. We had 4 cars in attendance and 6 registered, however, the GTO Club had 7 cars in attendance although some of those present had not indicated that they were GTO Club Members on the Registration Forms. Debbie Lamaison from Cotati was able to attend her first TACA GSC function with her beautiful 1979 Brown Trans Am. Her friend "Z" came with her.

There was no attendance for the Apple Hill run on October 29th .

New Business: Upcoming Events;
No Club Members expressed an interest in attending the Veterans Day Parade on Saturday, November 11th and the California Berger All Pontiac Show & Shine was postponed until Spring 2007. The Towe Auto Museum Christmas Tree Decorating Party is coming up on Sunday, November 26th. There is usually a Pot Luck Dinner at 6:00 PM. Our tree and decorations are at the museum. Keith will find out what Pot Luck item we will need to bring and a time for decorating the tree.

Keith will be contacting members concerning Autorama participation. He has entry forms and it is believed that only 4 cars will be allowed. The cost is $50 to show and $75 to be judged. Feb. 8th is Set Up and the Show is Feb. 9, 10 and 11th.

J.O. suggested that money for Jackets be refunded to those that have given deposits and the motion was tabled until January. He also recommended that the "Transarama Fund" be deleted as a bookkeeping item effective Jan. 1st. Dennis mentioned that he had recommended that action previously. The $275.40 Lancet Bill was due 10/16/06 but has not been deducted from the Checking Account. He also announced that the Capital City Firebirds are receptive to a joint activity.
