NWCCA:

Ø   CONTACT _Con-418CD25D5A \c \s \l Howard Freedman reported that the CCCA has been assigned 39 hours of duty for the NWCCA Show & Swap Meet

o   As they have curtailed the amount of space for the swap meet, Howard wasn’t sure if we would receive any money for participating.

o   At this time, there is a possibility of the NWCCA dissolving.

o   Regarding the 2008 show and swap meet, the question was raised, “Do we still wish to participate?”  If we do, there is no guarantee of receiving money. 

·         If we participate and the NWCCA dissolves, we might share in the $30,000 now in the treasury.

·         If we don’t and the NWCCA dissolves, we could lose the opportunity to share in moneys in the treasury.

o   A motion was made and seconded not to participate due to lack of interest. A discussion then ensued.  The result of the discussion was that the board would like to know what the NWCCA bylaws state with regard to where we would stand monetarily if we don’t participate. 

o   A second motion was made and seconded to table the first motion until we are able to get answers to questions raised.  Second motion carried.
