The September meeting was called to order at 7:30 pm. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by President Randy Bowser Jr. The meeting minutes were read by Bonnie McNeil and approved by Art Schultz and seconded by T. Hayes. President Randy addressed several subjects that have caught his attention, since his absence from last months meeting. His desire to be club president and make decisions to advance and better the club, are brought from experience and results. Although, some may not be the same thoughts or ideas of other members. He continues to be devoted to the betterment of the club, as he has for the past 4 years.
The previous topic of changing the 4th of July show to a cruise, is a very loaded subject. There are many yearly area club cruises that bring a huge attendance, and don’t require registration, and participants to stay the entire day for car show judging. This adjustment would diminish the need for the many club volunteers, that are required now. The cost of processing registration letters, supplies, and postage are always increasing. Also the cost of goody bag items, and door prizes if not donated. The $5 charge for a dash plaque would cover that expense. The decision of there being a Chinese auction, could be decided on later, as that requires basket donations from members, and the community, which all require volunteers and results. There would still be specific trophies donated by area business sponsors.
Discussion to continue on this.
Next month will be nominations and voting for the Board members whose terms are expiring. In the absence of several Board members Randy briefly went over the club income and expenses. Also confirming Lee Ann, from Missing Links, wants to continue our Wednesday night cruises next year. The Legion will also be confirmed as our monthly Tuesday night cruise on next years schedule. The upcoming Missing Links cruise is 9/16. The the extravaganza cruise at the Farm Show grounds on 9/19. Then the Fall Festival on Main street in Butler on 9/26. A multi-club endeavor, sponsored by the Rodfathers and BASMA. And we thank the Rodfathers for reaching out to us, and including our club in the promotion.

Butch Stock went over the list of winners and seller totals of the cash raffle. It was decided to continue with it as a cash raffle next year.
The winners were,
Bob Greenert, #249 for $250,
Donna Errera, #2347 for $150
Randall Moyer, #2336 for $100.
There were 17 members present at the meeting, the 50/50 for $27 was won by Dewey Hughes. The meeting adjourned at 8:05 pm.
