Edmonton 567 Club October Meeting Minutes

The Edmonton & Area 567 Club October General Meeting :
held Oct.3/2018

Start time 7p.m. with 15 members present

Welcome Back to the club! Mr. Dave Moore!! Our Latest Member!!

The minutes from the Sept. meeting were read by Interm Prez. Jim K. & they were accepted by all present.

The treasurer’s report was then given & the club account is ok and Jim has applied for the 2019 Non Profit Society status.. The members present accepted the report as well.

We gave the Daysland Alberta playground fund a donation of $1000.00 for this year & the 2 other groups selected ( Be Brave Ranch & Autism Edmonton) will be given their donation from us, once the “tally” from calendar sales is completed.

The club calendars are currently for sale at $5.00 each, with proceeds from the sales going to our above mentioned Kids charities. The calendars are moving quite well & word has it that only 3 dozen are left. 

These are 14 month calendars from November 2018 through to January 2020. Get yours soon!!

Discussion on a 3^rd Annual Swap meet was briefly touched on. Norm M. has a real estate buddy looking at a site for us & Norm will touch base on what he has found out at this event location. The time, date & place to be announced soon. Some final arrangements must be solidified before we can move on it. More info & member discussion at our Nov. meeting. Where we had the swap meet the last two years is too expensive for us(Millenium Place in Sherwood Park) & the date that they are offering to us in 2019 is on the Easter week-end.

The idea of a raffle was presented with 1/2 proceeds going to the selected charities & the other 1/2 towards Club operations. This idea was well accepted & further discussion at our Nov. meeting will address this idea.

The club’s Annual Christmas evening will be held at Norm’s place again. A date & time to be announced at the Nov. meeting.

The summer of 2019 presents the event in Saskatoon of the 567 Western Canada meet resurgence. The members have been asked to participate & it looks like we will but further discussions at our Nov. meeting will occur. Lodging, sponsorship and other areas to be discussed by our club…

Our Website is due to be reconstructed at the end of November, Rebecca M (our new website guru) will have the club executive join her in redesigning the site.

On behalf of the Edmonton & Area 567 club: a bouquet of Flowers with a card was presented to the family of a well known club supporter, Mr. Randy Rowlinson from Pro-Stock Performance & Machine Ltd. Who was taken from this world way too soon… R.I.P Randy.

September 2018 Club Minutes

The Edmonton & Area 567 Club September General Meeting

        Held at the New West Hotel on Sept 5/2018   

14 members present

The minutes from August were reviewed & read by Interm Prez. Jim K. and were accepted by all members who were present.

A treasurer’s report was given on account status & it was accepted by all members who were present..

The 18th Annual Bowties vs the World report:

2018 has not been kind to us as for raising $$$ for our Kid’s charities, we had a short fall at this year’s Show n Shine both in $$$ raised & entry count.. For the first time ever, the car club’s account had to be “dipped” into. The pros & cons were discussed by all present and the final decision is to be made on our donation amount at the Oct. meeting.. One thing sure is that the amount that we have “handed” out in the past will be smaller this year. The final count for entries was 85 in total & the $$ generated from this event covered the costs but fell short on our donation portion compared to the previous years.. Jim was hoping for approx. 100 plus entries. This is the first time in the 18 year history that the event had this issue arise.. However, for those who came out, they claimed to have had a good time & the event is a good thing.. NAPA Auto Parts came out to have our event at their location at 173 street/111 Ave.

Having them with us is Great and working with them for future S/S’s is a positive plus.. A BIG thank-you goes out to ALL Members that assisted at this event !!! Jim will meet with NAPA officials over the winter months to plan & have next year’s event the better than ever…

We learn something new every year & that is a good thing.. We always have to improve the event & learn from it to make the next one even better..

The award winners have been posted on the Club’s website & some pictures as well..

                                                                                                                         Club Calendar report:

The photo shoot was discussed (shoot was taken place in July @ the Burger Baron on 118 Ave/125 Street) & Jim K. who set this up was not too pleased & disappointed with the photos taken (either quantity or quality).. Never the less, the photos that a panel have chosen are being printed on the calendar and all monthly sponsors have come forward.. The calendar is a 14 month issue & sells for only $5.00 each.. If you would like one or more (hopefully more) contact Norm or Jim (or even a member). More than 125 of the 250 printed have been asked for already! They should be ready by Oct. 3 & at our booth at the Red Deer Swap meet, that is where we will have them for sale also.. Monies generated from the calendar sales will go towards the 2019 Kid’s charity fund..

Swap Meet report:

The club will have a table at the Stony Plain & Red Deer swap meets & is looking to hold our 3rd Annual swap meet in late Feb or mid Mar. 2019, more to be announced.. If anyone knows of a location other than where we have held our first two at, please let Norm, Jim or Roy know. The venue in Sherwood Park is ok but Pricey!

To All Members:

A memorial for Randy Rowlinson (owner of Pro-Stock Perf. & Machine) will be held on Sept. 23 at the Sherwood Park alliance church at 1:30 p.m .. We should have some members out for this, as Randy has been a supporter of our club for many years.. Our support to his family at this time would be greatly appreciated…

Raffle idea:

A raffle idea was discussed, the reason is to generate additional $$ to add to our Kid’s fund “pot” & to put some $$ back into the club’s operating account. More discussion on this idea at our October meeting..

                                                                                                                             50/50 draw

I have misplace the winner’s results (oops, I’m bad) again!!
