April Meeting

The Edmonton & Area 567 Club April minutes

                                     7 p.m start                                           14 members

  The March meeting minutes were reviewed and approved by all present.

  The treasurer's report was given and $$$ in the account is looking good, one debt and paid for the 3 member club memorial plaque..

  

  The members presented a motion to pay half of the expenses to Jim for Hotel & fuel to the Red Deer Swap meet on behalf of the club..

  Our Saturday afternoon Mixers have been rather well attended except for the Easter week-end mixer... The one set-up for May will be discussed

  at our May meeting.. If weather is good we can hold one outside ( BBQ style) & cruise..

  B vs W update :

  All but two award sponsors ( as of this print ) have paid up, and, once all have been paid then we can work on the event poster.. We must list all our sponsors for the event on the poster, of course !!

  Three of the ideas to celebrate our 20th anniversary event is to have souvenir done and coffee/ beer mugs produced.. The costs are really too high for the shirts and the mugs are 1/3 the cost to be produced..

  either concept will have our event on the front and our major sponsor ( NAPA Auto Parts ) on the rear.. Decision to be made at the May meeting..

  Plus to have a rock n roll band to play for 90 mins. is still in the works, Jim to meet with band members soon to discuss the $$$$ & if the cost is too much for us to handle...

  As in the past the club account is not to be affected, Hence we need a sponsor for example, to have the band.. If not feasible, we can revert to having a D.J all day long for a lot cheaper..

 Too early to ask but there have been a couple of High end Drag racers expressing interest in bring their  cars out for display..

  Also Jim looking into the idea of persuading some  Esks (Oops Elks) to join in the "pie eating" contest or some U of A Golden bears...

 It is early But Volunteers are always needed ..

 COME OUT TO THE MAY MEETING SHARE SOME IDEAS &  BONUS WE WILL WATCH THE OILER'S PLAYOFF GAME ON THE LARGE SCREEN AFTER THE MEETING !!!!!!!
