Monthly
Minutes
Vice President, Dean Stokes,
opened today's meeting substituting for President Marlene Coder who was
absent. There were few members present. We did not have a flag to
salute, so that was omitted.
Wanda read the minutes from the
past meeting, all approved. Treasurer, Mike gave his report, we have money
in the bank.
Old
Business
A report was given about the trip
to Sun Terrace in Sunnyside. Everyone had a nice time and a delicious
lunch.
Reports were given on the
Lyle Tour that Bill Sheller
hosted, everyone enjoyed this relaxing trip very much. The accommodations
were first class and the food was delicious. Everything went well even
though two Model T's had to go on the trouble truck.
Ray Porter from Kennewick High
School did not attend tonight's meeting. He requested Model T's to be
present at this year's Homecoming.
Marlene e-mailed Dean with some
suggestions for tonight's meeting. Marlene asked if we wanted to have a
dinner meeting to break the ice for upcoming meetings. Bill motioned that
we table this until more members are present. All agreed.
Dean reported that Dale is in the
hospital after having a stent in his heart. We are all wishing Dale a
speedy recovery. He is missed. Also. Fred Fraser reported
that Lynda Carrarah is recovering from hip replacement. We also wish Lynda
a speedy recovery. We miss you both very much.
New
Business
Fred Fraser will check out
Old Country Buffet as our October 20th
meeting. All present thought this would be
a
great opportunity for more members
to attend and have a delicious meal. Please plan on attending.
The time will be 6:00
p.m.
It was noted that our Christmas party is less than 100
days away. The Stokes' would like to host
this year's party at their home in Sunnyside. Be
thinking about this and plan on attending. More information will be
forthcoming.
Much discussion was presented
about the idea of returning to mailing out a hard copy of the newsletter.
Several members said that they just do not check out the website and appreciate
a hardcopy in the mail. We have few
members who are actually participating in our tours and attendance is way
down. Mike Porter said that the newsletter is the backbone of our Model T
club, and some members are not computer "savvy" and the club is dwindling.
All members appreciate Dale for his hard work and dedication to the newsletter
on line. We have money in the bank to perhaps spend on mailing via snail
mail copies of the newsletter on line to members. Dean said he will talk
with Dale regarding this. Linda Porter also noted that our 2011 membership
roster consists of less than 20 members and of those, only a handful
participate. We will be discussing this further at the next meeting.
Please attend as this is an important meeting ~
October 20th at Old Country Buffet at 6:00 p.m. in Kennewick at the Columbia
Center Mall.
Thank you Linda and Mike for the
delicious snacks. The meeting was adjourned with nothing more to come
before the members.
Respectively submitted,
Wanda Stokes, Secretary
Hi Dale - We are sorry to hear
about your new stent. We are grateful that you were so close to help when
you felt pain. We know from first hand experience how tramatic this can
be. Please get well as you and Sharon are missed. Take care of
yourself for us and we'll keep you in our prayers. God Bless you both -
Dean and Wanda
