The gang was all there so President Ron Simon called the meeting to order. We welcomed Charlie Duvall and Bill
Rissier (below)
to the fold. Bill has owned
a TC since the early '70s and was looking for a group to join
up with to drive on some activities. Charlie is a friend of Bill
and had found the TCMG on the Internet so they came to the meeting
tonight.
Ron announced that our guest
speaker Bobbie'dine
Rodda had fallen ill and
was not able to make the meeting so we would do a TC discussion
instead. Gordon
Glass moved that we send
her some flowers. Motion was seconded and passed by a vote.
Minutes of our last meeting were
in the Chassis for review. No corrections were mentioned, and
so they were accepted as printed.
Joyce Edgar gave a state of our treasury report.
Complete report was also posted on the wall along with a list
of those signed up for the Holiday Party and their menu choices.
She reported our membership stood at 110.
There are 54 signed up for the
Holiday Party this year which will be at the Sportsmen's Lodge
this next Sunday. Don
McLish said to add him on
as well which would bring it to 56. Esther Belland
asked us to not forget the toy drive. They seem to have enough
stuffed toys already so if you have not bought a toy yet to refrain
from those.
Art Ludwick (left) piped up to not forget the auction either.
Scour your garage and house for MG or TC items to donate to the
auction and to make sure you have loose billfolds and to bid
often, and freely so make the evening a success.
Lloyd Hendrickson was looking for an idea for the January
meeting. While his term as Program Chair was ended now, he was
looking for something to get the new chair started. Mention of
having the lady whom Gene
Olson had met to speak on
her previous experiences seemed to be the prevailing choice.
A chance for everyone to send old TC photo slides was also discussed.
Gordon Glass proposed another joint tour with the
VMG. He was thinking of a tour over to the new Mercedes Benz
Classic Center in Irvine would be a great venue. Others agreed
and possibly May 12 would be a good date to shoot for.
Joe Douglass indicated that when he picked up the
key to the meeting room earlier in the day that the bank was
discussing the possibility of raising the rental fee. They are
being pressured by other groups to get in so unless we have a
fair representation of Citi-bank customers that the fee could
increase double or triple. We collected 6 names from the 20 members
who were there that dealt with Citi-bank. Joe will drop that
list off along with the return of the key and our check for room
rental for the next year.
We ended the business part of
the meeting to visit and enjoy refreshments. We regrouped after
awhile for the raffle and then just had a random discussion among
ourselves relating various TC stories. Ron eventually had to
cut us off as time was up. Bet we could have gone on for several
more hours.
