TREASURES REPORT:

OLD BUSINESS:

- NEW CLUB APPAREL – Mike Santella reported to the membership on the new club apparel that Brad Barrie has been working on. Mike passed a cost sheet around so that the membership could see the different articles and their associated price. Mike then ask the membership a series of questions centering on how much the Club wanted to spend to have these articles produced explained that they consider this for a while and he will return later to this subject to get their opinions.

- CLUB CALENDARS – Carolyn Warren brought 7 Club Calendars to the meeting to sell to the membership. $12/each.

- GUEST SPEAKER OF THE MONTH - Mike Santella announced to the membership that he decided to ask the Guest Speaker to come back next month to our next meeting because the noise level would just make it too hard to be able to hear him and his topic.


NEW BUSINESS:

- NEW TRIPLE XXX RULES - Mike Santella spoke to the membership about the meeting that he went to at the Triple XXX drive-in in Issaquah. This meeting was attended by most of the car clubs in Washington. New rules were discussed and Mike explained these and the consequences if they are followed:
--- The parking space around the Virginia Mason facility will be roped off, and we cannot park any cars there or block the entrance. Any cars parking inside the roped off area or blocking the entrance will be towed off.
--- Jose brought up the subject of burn-outs. Absolutely no burn-outs will be tolerated. If anyone in our club violates this rule, we will not be welcomed back next year. Some suggestions were made to help prevent this from happening. Stefan Fafnis suggested that we have a police car posted at the exit. Mike Buzzard suggested we post a sign, saying “NO BURNOUTS”.
--- Mike Santella explained that the host hotel for our event will be the Hilton Garden Inn and they will provide rooms for overnight stays, starting at $89/day.

- POSTING CLUB MEETING MINUTES – Mike Buzzard complained about the Club Meeting Minutes being posted to our Website so late in the month and asked that they be posted earlier in the month. Wally Santella, said he would “get right on it”.

- JACQUELINE WANAKA – Wally Santella asked the membership if anyone new Jacqueline Wanaka who had paid $45 dues but was not in the Club. Stefan Fafnis identified Jacqueline as Guyle Rude’s girlfriend, so that mystery was explained.

- GARY TISCHER’S VACATION TO EL SALVADOR – Gary Tischer is planning a vacation to El Salvador and has one spare bedroom left in the villa that they will be staying at with other friends who will be going with them as well. The spare bedroom will go for $400/week. See Gary if you are interested.

- TIGER RUN PREPARATIONS – Pat Murphy explained to the membership that the posted info on the Goat Herd’s website for this year’s Tiger Run was old and out of date and that new info will be posted shortly.

- CONTINUED DISCUSSION ON CLUB APPAREL – Mike Santella continued the discussion about our club apparel efforts after circulating the price sheet. During this exchange, the question was raised on whether we should sell club apparel to non-members. Arguments were made for and against. No final resolution, so this will be continued at next months meeting. A motion was raised to open the cost of the apparel bid to other suppliers in order to make sure we are getting a good price. The motion was passed. There were a lot of questions and discussions and it was very hard to hear, so ultimately it was decided that we think about different issues and continue the discussion at the Great American Casino next month, where we could hear each other much better.

- SPRING CAR CLINIC – Denny Deal raised a question to the membership as to whether they would like to have another Spring Car Clinic at his SASCO Warehouse in Woodinville this year. Membership gave a ringing endorsement, so Denny made a suggestion to the Club Officers that we consider the idea of holding April’s Club Meeting at his SASCO Warehouse followed by the Spring Car Clinic. The Club officers will consider this and pick a date for the Spring Clinic.


SHOP TALK:
- Mike Buzzard finished the work on his 69.

50/50 Raffle: A 50/50 raffle was held and Dave Gunnerson won $40 and $40 went to the Club.

MEETING ADJORNED:
The Club’s Business Meeting was adjourned at 6:35 PM, by Mike Santella. Next meeting will be held at the Great American Casino in Tukwila, on March 7th, at 5:00pm.

Accuracy is most important unless you are throwing hand gernades or horse shoes, Pat. I understand that the positions on the board are voluntary but I also understand that within a club or any other group if you are going to volunteer only do it if you can fulfill what is asked of you. I am not critisizing anyone but I stand by what I asked for at the meeting, that the minutes be posted within a week of the meeting and not the afternoon of the day of the next meeting(a month later). So that membership could review and comment on the content. One of the biggest complaints I hear from membership is we never get anything done. That is not entirely accurate but in some cases it is. Since we are going to vote on a new permament meeting place, whether we will spend 60% of our funds on club gear and if we will sell it to only the membership or not are important subjects that we should be getting out to the membership. So yes Pat, I want it fast and I want it accurate. I cannot believe I have been a member for over 5 years and they cannot or will not spell my name correctly. OK? Mike BUZARD

Don't feel too bad Mike. I've been a member for 10 years and some people still call me by my brothers name... ;) The real question is why the meeting minutes aren't being posted under the Legends Club Members section of the web site? Shouldn't these be restricted to club members only?

You are correct John, they should be posted in that section. On another note I'm concerned about the minutes of the last meeting. They seem incomplete as far as vip details. Hopfully when we get back to GAC next month we can get something positive completed. Bison was really nice but WAY to loud to have ameeting at. Just imagine what it will be like during the summer when the girls softball leauge has their awards, lol.

Everyone stop complaining. You sound like a bunch of old ladies.

Let's try this another way. Mike, congrats on finishing your '69. Hey John, thanks for doing the newsletter again. Hey Wally, good job on the meeting minutes.

Now go play in the traffic.
