MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 2008 CLUB MEETING:

The Blount British Car Club members met on February 14, 2008 at 6:00 p.m. at the Busted Knuckle Garage & Clubhouse located at the home of Melinda and Jim Watson. President Melinda Watson called the meeting to order.

• MEMBERS PRESENT:
   
  
  • John & Loretta Blanchard, David Cline, Seth Glassman, George & Nonie Mason, Ken & Janet McCullough, Mike & Shelia McMillan, Steve & Cindy Miles, Darryll Mills, Herb Monday, Debbie Thomas, Janice Vooght, Jim & Melinda Watson, John Whitt, Jim Williams, and new member Tiffany Denyer

Jim Watson presented a design that he worked out with some help from Herb Monday. The first round of votes reduced the selection to 2 designs. Design #4 presented by Cindy Miles received the majority (10 votes).
   
• Fundraising Committee:
  • David Cline discussed several new ideas for fundraising. He asked members to bring more designs for a generic T-shirt related to British cars next month that the club could sell at various events including events with other clubs. For example, one of the designs brought to this meeting could be considered but with the specific car gathering information removed. Melinda Watson stated that it takes three weeks to make T-shirts with a new design. Another idea is to hold a rummage sale at the car gathering. Members are invited to donate car parts and other items related to British cars. George and Nonie Mason recalled that the Silent Auction held last year had many non-British car items and everything sold.
  • The Fundraising Committee also proposes a Poker Run with the goal of having the greatest club member participation possible. Another idea is a chili cook-off held in the late summer or early Fall with other clubs in the area also participating. The committee is encouraging more interclub activities more often. The committee would also like a budget and for the club to decide for what purpose(s) the club is raising money.
  • Janice Vooght stated that the club funds should be allotted so that we have money available to pay expenses for the car gathering and other events. Herb Monday said that the only constant is the registration monies. We can also look at the checkbook and receipts as to what has been spent on various items during the year to help us decide on how to allot funds. David Cline also noted that the club should reimburse the Watsons for the use of the Watson property, electricity and so forth when the club meets.
  • The committee also wants to have a handout on the club for members to give out when they encounter people who show interest in British cars. George Mason mentioned that there is a write up that he has on file that might help.
  
   
• Charities: Decisions on charities will be made at next month’s meeting.Reporting for the Drive Committee was George Mason. Several members participated in last Saturday’s drive to the Gray Fossil Museum near Johnson City. The next drive on March 8 will be to Jonesborough, TN (leaving Maryville at 9:15; spend a couple of hours walking around Jonesborough; dining for lunch).

• VIDEO PRESENTATION - Meeting began with a video of the Chattanooga Show, presented by David Freeman. David had videotaped the Saturday show, capturing every car, including all the winners from our club. This video allowed those who were not able to attend to enjoy the cars and the atmosphere of the show.
   
• OLD BUSINESS:
   
  • TREASURY REPORT – Nancy Sneed, Treasurer, gave the financial report. The cost of the Christmas Party was $159.88 – rental of the hall and the purchase of the meat. Ilene’s balance is $343.38, the rally brought in $711.90 and the remaining club balance is $1,062.86 for an ending balance of $2,118.14.
     
  • ILENE – Joe Camp gave an update. Joe, Mack Sneed, George Mason, John Blanchard, Steve Miles and Jim Watson have been working on Ilene. The front end is on, the hubs regreased. The frame is looking good. The ordered parts are in and ready to be installed.
     
  • DRIVE COMMITTEE – The committee met on January 1 to create the Calendar of Events for the next 6 months. The calendar has not been distributed yet, but it is being prepared. Noel Douglas, new member and manager at The Irish Times Pub in Turkey Creek gave information on the Irish Festival that will take place in their parking lot on March 15. There will be a televised parade starting at the hospital and ending in the parking lot outside The Irish Times Pub. An entry slot can be purchased for $100. The club can enter as many cars as wanted to participate and the cost would be split amongst the participants. Noel mentioned that this is a charity event. Joe Camp made a motion that some future club meetings be held at The Irish Times Pub. Melinda Watson seconded and added that the idea would be "explored". All were in favor.
     
  • MAY CAR SHOW – Melinda Watson reported that we are behind on the preparations. She was hoping to have a committee to help make some decisions, but that has not taken place. One item still being talked about is what to charge for the meal on Saturday night. Last year the club charged $20 per person attending, with the cost to the club being $17.33 per person. Jim Watson made a motion to keep the price at $20, Melinda seconded the motion. All were in favor. Registrations will be emailed and a form posted on the club website, to save the costs of postage.
     
  • OFFICER’S MEETING:
    • The meeting took place on December 13 at The Atlanta Bread Company. Present were all the officers, including the newest and 5th Officer Joe Camp. It was agreed that the Officers will have a quarterly meeting with David Cline, Vice President, choosing the next location.
       
    • Items discussed were the January meeting at Calhoun’s and preparation for the video. Also discussed were Joe Camp’s duties. David Cline also gave an update that the club could now use the services of Donna’s Monograms. The setup fee was paid for by David and Nancy Cline and they encouraged everyone to use the service to get the club logo on apparel.
       
• FUND RAISING - Also discussed was fund raising and how the club can generate more money for the club other than just the rally and the May Car Show. A Fund Raising Committee was created to include David Cline, David Freeman, Janice Vooght and Noel Douglas. Melinda mentioned that early registration by club members for the May Car Show would help generate enough operating money to cover some of the costs of the show. Other ideas for fund raising were another road rally, yard sales. Also suggested were ways to get more exposure for the club by being involved in parades, high school homecomings, etc.
   
• WEB SITE LOGO WINDOW TRANSFER – Laurence & Janice brought an example of a window transfer that gives the club website address. The transfer costs $.50 each and can be ordered in any quantity and different sizes. It was suggested that they be purchased and put in every packet for the Car Show, but that suggestion was not well accepted in case the car show participant didn’t want it and discarded it. Jim Watson suggested that the club buy a quantity of the transfers and sell them back to the club and also include them in the new member packets instead.
   
• CHARITIES TO SPONSOR – A discussion took place about the club exploring the idea of finding another charity to sponsor in addition to the Children's Home. Club members have been disappointed by the lack of participation of the Children's Home representatives at both the rally and the May Car Show. The Children's Home has been the charity of choice since the beginning of the May Car shows, but the club would like to suggest other charities to sponsor. Jim Watson said the club should keep the donation in Blount County and suggested looking at the Humane Society and the Working Dog Group. Members suggested that a charity be selected after a presentation by the charity. Melinda Watson asked for a committee to check the charities criteria, then meet and consider them. Jim Watson made the motion to proceed with this idea, Nancy Sneed seconded and all were in favor. The committee was formed and includes: Jim Watson, Nancy Cline (chairperson) and Seth Glassman.
   
• UPCOMING EVENTS - Our first drive of 2008 will be on February 9 to the Natural History Museum in Gray, Tennessee. Details are posted on the "upcoming events" page of our website.
