NWCCA:

Ø  Now that the NWCCA is defunct, we will remove the NWCCA representative from the Roster.

Ø  It was discussed that if the organization tried to regroup, the OR Region CCCA will probably not rejoin.

2010 Board of Director’s Meetings

Ø  Director Robert Douglas brought a suggestion to the Board and a discussion ensued regarding changing the monthly Board of Director’s Meetings to a monthly Dinner Meeting that would include all members, the exception being the December Planning Meeting, which in 2010 will be held at Roger and Jan Eddy’s home. 

o   After hearing the information about 2 restaurants, Buster’s and O’Connors, it was voted to hold a Monthly Dinner Meetings at the Annex of O’Connor’s Restaurant in Multnomah.

o   Howard Freedman will send out a flyer to everyone informing them of the change.  Dinner will start at 6:30 p.m. with a short meeting to follow.

o   This will be a car club dinner meeting and not a Board Meeting; it will be a time for members to socialize and hear information on upcoming tours and important information only.

Social Activities:

Ø  Mona Marsh is now in charge of the club’s Social Activities Chairman.  She asked for activity ideas for 2010.

Ø  The Board thanked Jan Eddy for her excellent contribution as Activity Chairman for the past few years

Tour Report:
