OLD BUSINESS

 

  • Shirts from the Buchanan show are still for sale. It was decided to lower the price to buy one for $20 and get one free.  On a motion by Sandy Leight and 2nd by Bob Laughlin this motion was passed.

 

 

NEW BUSINESS

 

  • Suzy Sease reported that the Awards Banquet will be on Saturday, January 28th at the Waynesboro Country Club.  5:30 happy hour and 6:30 is the meal.  Cost is $25 per person.  Sign up sheet was passed around and collection of money was due at this meeting.

 

  • Greg asked members to think about volunteering to coordinate our Spring 2012 cruise.  Steve Smith asked the club members who all would be interested in going back to Hickory Bridge Restaurant and, maybe, some other attraction in the area for a day cruise.  Suggestions were Eisenhower farm, new visitor center. A show of hands from the members showed an interest so Steve will bring this up at the February meeting.  Looking at late April timeframe. More details to come.

 

  • Ken Novinger talked about high speed driving schools that are available to us club members. He mentioned the Cumberland Valley Corvette club having an event on May 30th at the Poconos.  Or Friday at the Track at Summit Point.  There are lots of high speed events in the area that our club could do to test out the speed of their vehicles. It’s a lot of fun and if anyone is interested contact Ken for more details.

 

  • It was asked to Ken if he will be heading up a wine cruise this year.  He said that he wasn’t sure but will bring up this topic at a future meeting.

 

  • 2012 Nominations: Per our last meeting all of the officer positions were filled except for the Vice Presidency.  Greg contacted Jack Irby but he declined at this time.  Greg opened the floor for nominations and Ken Novinger nominated Chris Rauschenberger and Bob Laughlin seconded the motion.  Chris agreed to serve as Vice President.

 

  • Dickie reported that the current membership stands at 64 members. He is still waiting on due payments from members.

 

  • Dickie reported that he received a new membership application from our website.  Paul Shank of Williamsport, MD who has a 2003 Z06.  Welcome Paul!

 

  • Dickie has ordered new Corvette hats and he is expecting them next week. He will bring at the banquet and next club meeting.

 

  • At our last meeting it was discussed about how the club walkie talkies “walked away” in a club members home and about purchasing new walkie talkies.  Lisa Myers made a motion not to purchase this item due to the act that everyone has a cell phone and they could be used. Others said that they had their own walkie talkies and they could bring them to the cruises to use, if needed.  And, whoever coordinates a cruise would need to make sure they had everyone cell phone numbers printed out for everyone else.  All members seemed to be in agreement and it will be discussed at the next meeting.

 

·         50/50 was won by Mary Warren for $18.50.  Also, a number was drawn for a t-shirt and Chris Leight won.

 

·         On a motion made by Suzy Sease and 2nd by Adera Laughlin the January meeting was

adjourned at 8:05 PM

TRIVIA
