Board of Directors Meetings

Membership:  Reasonably stable. For this round 2 people joined, and 2 people didn't renew.

Old Business:  

Review of Ice Cream Run:  All around well attended and a hit.  Good weather.  Good company.  Need to get list of attendees to Linc Avery to post on website.  Joe will forward funds collected to Steve for treasury.

Upcoming events:    

Balsams tour:  Dutch Dresser, who lives in Bethel kindly made the arrangements for this event.  Steve will call the Balsams with a head count.  Dress is "nice casual" or "business casual".  We are not sure of the parking situation, so will not take the banner. On our return, those who wish to should stop at Gould Academy for a presentation by Dutch Dresser of a navigational sphere he designed which stands as a sculpture in the lobby of a new building on the campus.  Steve indicated that at this point there were at least 20 people planning to attend in 11 cars.  Rendezvous at the causeway in Naples on Rte 302 on Sunday July 20 at 9:00.

Web Page review:   Linc is not here this evening.  He has made a few changes to the page.  Added the sound back.  The home page is a nice collage of photos. 

Newsletter update:   Glenn is not here this evening.  Another issue of the newsletter is due out in about a week.  Right after the Balsams tour. 

Other: 

$5.00 per car entry fee:    Should continue unless there are objections. 

Welcome Aboard mailer:     Glenn distributed Original that will be copied and sent/given to all new members and Up 'N Maine transfers.  Two pages (1 page, 2 sides), color photos, brief blurbs about our activities.  Very attractive layout.  Any spare copies will go to Don and Glenn.  Some will be placed at the dealership. 

Communication from PCA/Zone 1:  Only 1 significant item, and that is that Henry Hoeh needs the details for the Rally/Concours in 2005 (see below).

2005 Zone 1 Concours and Rally:  Discussion revealed that we can choose a date for the event as well as a venue.  We should expect about 50 cars, not all of whom will enter the concours or the rally.  It was noted that at the last of these events (7 years ago), there were 50 cars entered in the concours, although only 25 were judged.  It was suggested that The Cliffhouse might be appropriate for the concours.  Steve and Kyle Atwell will check out the following venues:  Cliffhouse, Portland Head Light.  Potential attendees are most interested in the Portland Head Light, and staying at the Marriott.  Bob Michaelson is rally chair, and Steve Paderek in concours chair.  We decided the best date was in September 2005, with the rally on Saturday and the concours in Sunday.  There is a rally in the can.  It is the one used at the 1987 Parade.  If we use that rally, we will need to run the checkpoints, and we will need to line up cars.  All the other work is done by Zone 1.  Don will take these ideas to the Fall Presidents' Meeting. 

Next Meeting:      October 14th, 2003, 7:00 p.m., location TBA
