Frieda Jones gave the Treasurer’s Report that will become a part of the permanent minutes.

Pat Ball gave us details on the cost of the Car Show. With price increases and a loss of some former sponsors, the profit was not what we had gained in the past. Pat made a recommendation that we transfer money from the Charity Account to the Operation Account for expenses. Curtis Mink made the recommendation in the form of a motion and Richard Ball seconded the motion. The vote of the membership was unanimous. Much discussion followed on ways to make the show better, cut expenses and possibly even moving the show.

The July 4^th Parade in Bristol was very good. We had 7 cars participate.

We had 7 cars at the VOTS car show on July 10. Curtis Mink won second place in the C4 class.

Clubs will park together this year. Curtis Mink will again be our emcee for the show.  The awards given will be for the top 10 cars, with TCCC members cars not included.  We will have a People’s Choice award.  We will have certificates for several different categories such as distance driven, most miles, least miles, etc.  Bring bottles of water for give away.   We all need to work on door prizes.  Think of those who have been a part in the past and make contact.

Meeting Minutes

This was our annual Breakfast Meeting.  Eddie Connor opened the meeting.  Jim Embree led in prayer.

In the absence of Frieda Jones, Judy Kyte gave the Treasurer’s Report.

Discussion followed on our proposed events schedule for 2010.  There was a lot of good discussion on several events including our picnic and our car show.  After lengthy discussion on ways to improve our show, Gary Malcolm made a motion to approach Champion Chevrolet one more time for our car show with the stipulation that we have to have more space.  There was a second to the motion by Eddie Connor.  The vote was unanimous.  We will check with them and see which date is better…June 5 or 12.  We will need to get busy on sponsors, door prizes and our fliers.
