General Meeting - October 7, 2009

The meeting was called to order at 7:25 PM by Pres. Keith Thorson.

The meeting was attended by Keith, Ted Bechtel, Dennis and Terry Trimble, Robert and Fay Holland, J.O. and Irene Raff. Visitors Jake Credut and Deanne Moura were introduced. Jake is a Senior at UC Davis, originally from Frazier Park, CA and owns a '77 SE, 2 '79 TAs and a '79 Firebird-all of them, works in progress. He was given a Membership Application. Deanne is a friend of Fay Holland, really desperate for excitement if she came to our meeting!

The TransScript was approved as printed and J.O. gave the Treasurer's Report which was approved as presented.

There was discussion about moving our Meeting Place with suggestions made for Mel's Diner, Baja Fresh, Roundtable and Sizzler. Mel's Diner was selected to be used beginning in January 2010. Mel's has a back-room and is located near Howe and Fair Oaks Blvd. We will stay at Coco's for November and our December meeting will be at The Station Restaurant.

Keith plans to check with the Towe Museum for Christmas Tree decorating in December. It was discussed that our Christmas Tree was thrown out or mixed with others and we have no tree. Our decorations are supposed to be stored at the Towe but Ted Bechtel recommended that every member create an ornament utilizing Picture Ornaments from Walmart with pictures of their cars. Also, if the event is scheduled, bring old ornaments. There was no further discussion about a new tree.

Keith opened business concerning Officer Elections for 2010. Dennis Trimble recommended that the current slate of Officers remain but Terry Trimble declined another year as Activities Director. There was no volunteer for that office. Ballots will be sent out in accordance with the Club By Laws, however, the choices will be slightly restricted and a write-in is suggested for Activities Director or any of the other positions as well.

Ted Bechtel moved that the meeting be adjourned at 7:57 PM
