OCTOBER MEETING The meeting was called to Order at 7:30 p.m. by President "T" Hayes. The September minutes were read by Butch Stock and were approved as read by motion from Dave Wagner and Sam Fazzino. Art Schultz gave the treasurer's report. Report was approved as presented by motion from Ron Smith and Dave Krainbucher. T thanked Dave Wagner for taking care of the food while Glenn Koegler was away. Jack reported on the Summer Cruise Raffle. Winners were drawn on September 27, 2009, at the 6Pack Grill. As the cruise had been cancelled due to rain (can you believe that) the drawing was held one-half hour after the scheduled beginning of the cruise inside the restaurant. Winners of the 2009 Summer Cruise Raffle were: 1st Prize $250 gas card - Ron Smith 2nd Prize $150 gas card - Tom Moore 3rd Prize $100 gas card - Tom Stewart Jack said that the Club winners of free dues for one year for selling most tickets and the three winning tickets were: Jack McConnell - most tickets sold Don Hayes - winning ticket to Stewart Ron Smith - winning ticket to himself There was no name on Moore, so no dues were awarded. Jack reported that there were a total of 1190 tickets sold and that after expenses the net profit was $609.40. T. thanked Jack for a job well done and asked for a round of applause. Paula reported that the 2009 cruise season is almost over, only two more cruises to be held - Beans and Cream on Saturday, Oct. 17 and 6Pack on Sunday Oct. 18. Out of 15 cruises scheduled this year, 10 were either rained on or rained out. The 50/50 netted about $600.00 this year. Paula thanked everyone who helped with the cruises, especially Brenda Greenert, who Paula says she couldn't have done it without her. T. also thanked Paula for a good job and asked for a round of applause. At this point, T. turned the meeting over to the nomination committee, Dave Bowen and Don Hayes, to conduct the annual election of Board Members. This year there are three openings on the Board. Members elected tonight are for placement on the Board only. Officers for the BOD will be decided at the November BOD meeting. BOD members meet every other month on the third Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Lyndora Hotel. Those BOD members whose terms run out tonight are Paulette Bowen, Jack McConnell and Glen Koegler. The nominating committee then took nominations, and the following members accepted nominations for BOD positions: Paulette Bowen Jack McConnell Glen Koegler Cliff Rumbaugh
Bill Dillon. The nominations were closed and President T Hayes then named the nominating committee to pass out ballots and count the votes. Members elected to the 2010 Board of Directors were: Paulette Bowen Glenn Koegler Bill Dillon Congratulations to those elected; and many thanks to Dave Bowen and Don Hayes for their assistance in carrying out this year's election. Butch Rocco brought in 2010 Dave and Ed Schedules and 2010 Carlisle bumper stickers and schedules. T. announced that although everything seems further away, volunteers are needed for the 2010 Town Hall Meeting, the Summer Raffle and the Family Picnic. Anyone interested please see a BOD Member. Grace Smith won $25,00 in Paula's 50/50, Stiff's Lotto had a $47.00 drawing that was won by Mark Swartzlander who was not present at the meeting.

Hi,
I own a car that was previously owned by one of your members Mike Kennedy.
I was able to track down the shop it was painted at last which lead me to Mike.
I'm trying to find some of the history on the car and would like to see if Mike may be able to help me in my search. If you could please let me know if Mike is a member
of the club and if so could you forward my e-mail address to him with this e-mail. Thanks....Ellis
