2 THE TRIPOWER TIMES March 2015 Page 2 BUSINESS MEETING MINUTES CALL TO ORDER - WELCOME MEMBERS AND GUESTS: The February meeting was called to order at 7:05pm by President Jon Chevalier. There were 16 members in attendance. MEETING MINUTES: Jay Robinson stepped in for Ashlee as she was out with a family emergency, and he promptly announced that he forgot to bring minutes to read, and therefore none were read. TREASURER S REPORT: Mary Chevalier gave the treasurer s report, and we have some (more) money in the account. OLD BUSINESS: BYOC car show - Many aspects were discussed, and all members are asked (required) to get goody bag stuffers and a few door prizes. The show flyer is attached, all members are asked (required) to print out several copies and share with everyone they know! The annual Bowling Tournament is set for March 15. It will be at Sweetheart Lanes in Loveland at 12:30pm. It will be $12 for 3 games including shoes. Come out even if you are not bowling to support your club! The Benefit for Sara is March 21. A flyer is attached with this newsletter. Please plan on attending to show your club support for our member. NEW BUSINESS: A viewing of Stephen Tebo's private car collection is set for April 4th. We did this last year, and it is AMAZING! This is very rarely open to the public, so plan on attending this event! An exact head count (with names) is needed back to the club Secretary by March 16. Flyer attached. Jay brought it a new GTO coffee table book. It is for sale to the club members at 1/2 price, or $25. You can see about the book on Amazon.com, look for "Pontiac GTO 50 Years: The Original Muscle Car". If you want to purchase a copy, please contact Jay. He needs the money in advance, and will place one large order (no shipping fees this way). He would like to place the order by the end of March, so don't hesitate to get this great book at a much discounted price! Meeting adjourned at 7:43pm Sara picked out her own number - AGAIN - to win the 50/50 pot. RIGGED.. NEXT BUSINESS MEETING: The next Business Meeting will be held April 2nd at Johnson's Corner - dinner at 6pm, meeting at 7pm. (NOTE: We need more members not only showing up for the meetings, but ordering food as well. We get the room for free, as long as we continue to order meals by the majority of members in attendance). It was discussed to become a member of the Classic Car Council once again, so Jon and Mary are taking care of this process.
