for any changes to be sent to him ASAP. Lynn Lackey made a motion that we

Membership Director: As of
October 4, 2005 there are 131 members of the club. This is the highest number
of members in two years.
3.
Activities Director: Glen
Spielbusch would like to incorporate story telling into the monthly meetings possibly
with a power point presentation capability to show members the happenings on
the tours. This will possibly spur more people to go on the tours. It was
discussed that pictures could be developed at Osco, Walmart, and Walgreen’s and
saved to a disc to be played at the meetings via a laptop and it would make the
meetings much more interesting to all. In other discussions were how successful
the tours were in September and some possible upcoming tours toward the end of
the month in October. George and Mimi are working on a tour for fall foliage to
be announced at the meeting on October 17. Glen said another tour was being
worked on and would also be announced at the October 17th meeting.

NEW BUSINESS
1.
Other
items of new business:
In other items of
new business, George Deel made a motion the board approve the money to purchase
plaques to be awarded to the outgoing members of the board. Lance Burton
seconded the motion and the motion carried.
George Deel then
read a letter the club had received in the mail from a non-member who was
seeking help on a Model A. A discussion
was held on whether the letter should go to Bob Hess or a member near the
authors home. It was decided that since the author was a non-member it should
go to John Osborn who could invite the author to a Northland Wednesday Coffee
and solicit him for membership along with giving him a place to get information
on repairs to his 1929 Ford.
Lance Burton then
told the board his brother Alan had told him he probably would not be involved
in the 2006 St. Jude’s Charity event due to the lack of lead time being allowed
by the local radio station who is sponsoring the fund raiser. Alan Burton did
not feel the time was sufficient to do a quality job in getting the event put
together. This would be the second year our club would not be included in the
event to raise money for the club and for St. Jude’s.

board meeting was adjourned at 7:10 PM
