North Texas Oldsmobile Club April 2010 Meeting Minutes by Gene Crowdis March 2010 Monthly Meeting Minutes The March NTOC monthly meeting was held on March 14th at J. Gilligan’s in Arlington. President Chris Dreiling called the meeting to order at 2:10 and welcomed everyone. There were 24 members present. Chris welcomed everyone and announced that this would be his last meeting as president. Treasurer’s Report Chris called on Cindy for the Treasurer’s report. Cindy reported that the NTOC remains fi nancially sound. NTOC Membership Dues Cindy announced that it is again time for members to renew their NTOC membership. Dues are $18.00 per year for a family or $32.00 per family for two (2) years. If you don’t know when your current membership expires contact Cindy by email at c_payton@aircanopy.net. Cindy will also be posting a list of members who need to renew their memberships in the Rocket in the near future. Several members have renewed as of the March meeting, but several others need to send in their dues so Cindy can fi nalize the 2010–2011 roster and send out the annual fi nancial report. Some of our members are close to the expiration date for their OCA dues. Please check your JWO to see if your membership needs to be renewed anytime soon. NTOC has always been compliant with the OCA requirements, but our goal should be to have 100% participation. NTOC Long Term Membership Pins Design of the NTOC Long Term Membership Pins has been fi nalized. The basic pin will be the current NTOC Logo in four colors, red, white, blue and gray. The pin is designed so that hangers can be attached to the bottom of the pin and different colored hangers can be attached to indicate the number of years you have been a member of NTOC. Colors for the hangers are 5 years - white, 10 years – red, 15 years – light blue, 20 years – dark blue and 25 years – black. When the pins are passed out for the fi rst time the members will get a pin and the current level of membership hanger. If you want the previous level hangers they will be available for $2.00 each. Membership pins will be provided after fi ve years to both family members as appropriate. We discussed upcoming events- Richard Witkowski has made arrangements for NTOC members to view a private collection of classic cars on the 8th of May at Emerald Bay, near Lake Palestine. The cars belong to Jerry Ball who has them stored in a building near the lake. Plans for a caravan drive and picnic will be discussed at a future meeting. (Sorry Lois, the 15th wasn’t a good day for Mr. Ball.) Some NTOC members are planning to take a Thursday thru Sunday Road Trip, in the spring – This will be to Lubbock to participate in an annual car show and to visit the Winns. Rick and Stacy moved to Lubbock in 2009 so in April we are putting together a group to go to Lubbock. Dates are April 23, 24, and 25. Several members indicated they were considering making this trip. The Hotel we are using is a Best Western in Lubbock. Phone # 806-762-8400 rates $69.00 - $79.00 per night plus tax. There will be a charity car show in Richardson at the Heights Baptist Church on April 10. Several members of the NTOC went last year. The charities are for God’s Food Pantry and The Heights Children’s Ministry to help pay for kids to go to church camp this summer. Entry is $10.00 or 10 cans of food.

Chris is still working with 21st Century Cars to set up a date when NTOC members and/or their friends can take their cars in for a Dyno Test. He is having some problems with setting the date and is also trying to get Lone Star Performance to work with us for the Dyno Test date. Normal cost for having this done is $75.00, but Chris said they would do it on a Saturday for $45.00 per car. This is your chance to get your car checked out for performance (continued on next page) The Rocket Page 3
