NWACC – Meagan Renick

Meagan reported that the NWACC Year End Banquet which took place on November 1st, and was hosted by Glass Odyssey Corvette Club this year in Bremerton, was a fun event and a successful turnout. She also mentioned that the new NWACC Officers that were elected for the 2009-2010 office are: President: Dave Kaiser (MHCC), Vice President: George Schwartz (CdeO), Secretary: Ron Waller (CGCC), and Director: Meagan Renick (CdeO). Meagan will now take George’s place as the CdeO liaison, and George will be her back-up.

SUNSHINE COMMITTEE – Frankie Sokso

Frankie reported that our club Secretary (Meagan Renick) was recently hospitalized with Spinal Meningitis. The club sent a get well card to her.

NEW BUSINESS

There will be no meeting in December, as our Christmas party always substitutes for our monthly meeting. The next meeting will be January 14th, 2009.

Duncan commented that there is a Jet Stream Blue 2009 Coupe for sale is Sumner with the six-speed, Z51 suspension package, etc. The sticker price is 60k, but they will sell it for 53k. Contact Duncan if you would like further details.

We will be nominating 2009 officers at the January meeting, so be thinking about who to nominate.

Meagan asked the club if they would be interested in hosting an NWACC car show in 2009. This would be like the continuation of our VetteFest, and would likely take place on a Saturday in June. Meagan talked about the details regarding hosting the show, and took note of the individuals that stated that they would volunteer to help run the operations of the show (registration, parking, judging, etc.). 11 volunteers raised their hands that they want to help with the event, and only two people opposed the event. All others were indecisive or abstained at this time. Meagan will send out more information on the show as well as a sample of the judging sheets, etc. At this time, it seems that there will be enough interest to host a show, and maybe even do it in conjunction with an already scheduled NWACC autocross weekend. More to come…

ADJOURNMENT / RAFFLE

The 50/50 raffle winner responsible for bringing next month’s raffle prize is: Craig Forster

The meeting was adjourned at 7:30 p.m.

The next meeting will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 14, 2009, at Hawk’s Prairie Inn.
