Nov 20, 2002 TRC General Meeting minutes - Called to order at 1932. Members present: - Bill Jonesi, Cris Wendt, Steve Watt, Nancy Hanna, Teresa Stefanisko, Nick Stefanisko, Pete Soper, Abby Grossman Minutes from last meeting: - Approved Officer's reports: President: - No report. Vice President: - Not present. Secretary: - Ballots were mailed, received 6 in return mail. Treasurer: - Not present. Insurance Chair: - Check for Toy Rallye has been sent in. - Searched for lower-cost insurance with a number of companies, found nothing. It appears K&K is still the only game in town for this kind of insurance. - Checked with another club, Northwest, and they are paying comparable rates, $114 per rallye for $1M liability and $7 per member. Another club was paying $120 per rallye with $1M liability or $96 per event with $500K. The suggestion was made to check with the Chicago-area rallye club as well. URLs to be provided to Cris by Bill. - Contacted NASA Racing, haven't heard back from them. - Will do an estimate for insurance cost budgeting for next meeting. NCSCC Representative: - NCSCC meeting will be at end of Toy Rallye on 12/1, agenda coming soon. Last Event(s) Report: - One Ringy Ding had 20 cars, 15 member, 5 non-member. Lots of protests filed, most rejected by the committee. General agreement that it was a great rallye! Darin opines that maybe fewer CP crews would be a good idea in the future. It was moved and seconded that the memberships for Darin and Michelle, and Abby be extended to expire on 2/28/03. The motion passed without objection. (This would put them in synch with the annual membership rallye and the majority of members, bj) Next Event(s) Report: - December 1 is Toy Rallye, TRC chairing, maybe Willie. Golden Gate Lotus will provide staffing. Nick will donate the awards now that he's seen some sign of payment from TRC. - February = Cris Wendt's, Flyers to be at Toy Rallye, Super Bowl theme - March = Steve Watt's School Rallye - April = Stefaniskos - May 1 = Darin - May 15 = May Flowers, Jeff - June = (tentative) Bess'? - Nov = Darin - Jan '04 = Abby Open Dates: - 8/2, 9/6, 10/4 Old Business: - The membership list still needs to be synchronized between the secretary and the treasurer.
