COMMITTEE REPORTS:

TREASURER’S REPORT, MEMBERSHIP & WEBSITE NEWS: Jon reported that we now have 91 paid members and a balance of $4,353.52 in the treasury (Car show dough not yet accounted for – it will be announced at the September meeting).

SECRETARY’S REPORT: Now that Jay found her pristine Black / Black ’04 ZO6, she was too busy tooling around to deliver a report. But since we can all read it’s in the Newsletter anyway.

ACTIVITY REPORT: A big FTCC thanks to Kurt and Caroline Meier for hosting a party at their Warsaw cottage before the Kentucky Speedway Indy race and to Pat and Jim Bischoff for organizing a sixteen car cruise Sunday 9/1 through the beautiful Boone County countryside which ended at Crescent Springs Park where the club provided a wonderful picnic lunch.

VICE PRESIDENT’S REPORT: Jack Buecker gave the final updated on the Woods Hudson Car Show which was very successfully held at The Hofbrauhaus on August 18^th with a record number of cars (which surpassed even the best previous year when member’s cars were included in the count)! Based on a survey taken of participants the location, the trophies and the venue were superb.

Campbell Lodge Boy’s Home September 12 (rain date 9/19)

Run Stan and Rita Bond chairing. We’ll meet at the Road House at 5:30 PM. WE ABSOLUTELY NEED A MINIMUM of 30 Corvette’s. Contact Stan if you’re coming. One final note… bring the old car magazines and a finger food desert. Any spouse willing to help with the food, please contact Jay Deerwester or Rita Bond.

DENTED HUBCAP AWARD: Calling all cars. Will the miscreant who purloined the demented dinger please return same so that we can resume the practice of embarrassing the club member guilty of the dumbest Corvette screw up?

SPLIT-THE-POT: Jim Spaeth momentarily won $57 (momentarily because he generously donated his loot to the Wood Hudson penny jar).
