| Minutes of Meetings | |
MINUTES Mark Walters introduced himself, passed out the
meeting agenda, and asked for an introduction of members, which
began at 6:45 pm. Members announced their boats, partners, and
friends! Following the introduction, everyone ate. Meeting resumed
at 7:50 PM. Jack reported on the Chapter Incorporation and
Federal Tax ID. The club is officially incorporated. We are a
non-stock corporation and have a sellers permit number. We are
not tax exempt. By acquiring this status, it protects assets of
the officers from liability and allows benefits when purchasing.
The tax exemption fee is $500 and will not be done. There is an
umbrella with ACBS, trying to get chapters to obtain tax exemptions.
We will await the results which in turn would allow a tax write
off for donations. Linda reported on membership report from Gayle Ritter. All but two families renewed for 2010. So far in 2010, we have 13 new members, including two families this past week. They were Joe Zelinski from Oshkosh with a 1951 Chris Craft and Dave Moehrke from Brooklyn, WI with a 1957 fiberglass boat. All members will be entered into the website. If people are interested, there is a separate Century Boat Club. Information can be found at www.centuryboatclub.com. Rob and Gayle are waiting to get their sailboat schedule so they can pick a date for the Okauchee outing the end of July. A vote was taken to see if a Saturday or Sunday was preferred. Saturday unanimously won! Wil discussed the Pewaukee Boat Show, scheduled for 8/21. As the show grows, we may need more pier sections. Mary Schwister is doing well with PR. John Constable's ad agency will ask Gus Gonorski to report on the show again (Channel 6 news). Frank Petran will double the toy boat count from 100 to 200, as they were very successful with the children. A new addition to the show, is the world's biggest ice boat, designed in 1937 and owned by Peter Harken. It is 50 feet long and a mast > 50 feet. It was restored by Rick Henning in Racine. Thank-you to Peter, for arranging for the boat to be in the show. The next Pewaukee boat meeting will be at the Pewaukee Yacht Club on 5/6. Wil distributed a roster of club members. He will announce any new members, to be added to the roster, in the newsletter. This was voted upon and approved by all. Andy discussed the Madison Boat Show. Funds raised for this show are donated to the M.S. Society. The same venue will take place on 8/6 and 8/7 at Christy's Landing. On Friday, the group will lunch at the Elks; go through the lockes to the governor's mansion, a few bars, and a fish fry at Christy's. Quite a few people raised their hands that they are attending the Eagle River outing on 6/18-6/20. Wil updated the international ACBS outing planned for Lake Geneva 9/20-9/24/ 2011. Gage Marine will bring big boats. People will come from all over the US and Canada. George Plamondon, president of Blackhawk Chapter, will bring "Miss America," previously owned by Garfield Wood. Other events include Okauchee, date TBA and a
Chicago River trip in July. Miscellaneous: Frank commented on the comradery of the club's members and that the relationship with Blackhawk chapter has also improved.
