additional money will have to be collected from the tour
participants - not sure of the amount at this time.
Newsletter Editor’s
Report:

reported that the Arizona Region’s newsletter is printed

Old Business:
Ø
Last month
there was a concern expressed as to whether or not our
bylaws reflect the national bylaws and about our club’s
incorporation.
o
When
Howard returned from his meeting, he told us that he was
unable to locate any information on the incorporation of
the club.
o
No one
else seemed to have any information either.
o
It was
decided not to do anything with regard to incorporation
and to continue on as in the past.
Ø
According
to National CCCA Bylaws, a Director no longer must own a
Full classic to hold that position.
New Business:
Ø
The CCCA
in Des Plains was under two of feet of water due to
flooding. A lot of papers were soaked. At Howard’s
suggestion, they are looking into a freeze-drying
process to enable them to save the paperwork that was in
the bottom drawers of their filing cabinets.
Ø
It was
suggested that we consider a $500.00 disaster
contribution to help them cover their expenses. This
suggestion will be presented to all CCCA members at the
Annual Membership Dinner Meeting.
As
there was no additional business to come before the
board, the meeting was adjourned at 8:55 p.m.
At
this time the Oregon Region CCCA would like to thank
Mona Marsh for hosting our meeting at her home. |
