Central Valley Corvettes - November 2014 Magazine

Kim Fosnaugh and Debbie Anderson and lining
up for Treasurer are Terry Anderson and Mike
Lebda.
November 18th is not only our regular monthly
meeting, it is also our annual business meeting.
It is the time of year we elect new officers based
on your vote. Two prerequisites in being able to
vote, aside from being a member in good
standing, is that 1) you must attend the business
meeting to cast your ballot and 2) you cannot
have missed more than 4 meetings this year.
While these conditions sound modest, it is
troubling to examine the attendance records and
see that barely half the club is eligible to
participate in the election. While 44 people have
met the criteria, an astounding 42 members have
missed at least 5 of the last 10 meetings. Most of
them a lot more than five and several have not
attended a meeting at all this year. Most of us
realize CVC is a social club, but as your outgoing
president, I would ask everyone to set a goal of
making at least 6 of the first 10 meetings in 2015
so that you can participate in the democratic
process.
With that said, here is your 2015 ballot. We have
multiple candidates running for each office with
the one exception. Your candidates for President
are Andy Anderson and Gary Pfelpsen, Skip
Severance is running unopposed as Vice-
President of Activities, Dick Danielsen faces off
against Jan DeMello-Pflepsen for Vice-President
of Public Relations, running for Secretary are
On a couple of other fronts, about 30% of you
have renewed your membership dues for next
year. That’s pretty good considering the notices
only went out at the October meeting. Dues are
streaming in on a regular basis, so hopefully just
about everyone will have paid by the November
18th due date.
Don’t forget the annual CVC Christmas party is
Thursday, December 11th. So far 58 people
have signed up and 36 have paid the $24.00 per
couple tab. The club is chipping in up to $2,500
which will cover about 70% of the overall cost of
the evening. It would be great if you could
make any outstanding payments by the
November 18th meeting. Based on past
experience, we estimate an additional 6 to 10
members will sign up which should push
attendance in the 64 to 68 range. We have also
sent a written invitation to our club sponsor Ed
Dena and his wife. CVC also thanked them for
their support the past couple of years and asked
Ed if he would be interested in sponsoring the
club next year.
In closing, please start thinking about any runs
you would like to put together for next year.
With the exception of the annual CVC picnic at
Kroekerville on Sunday May 3rd, 2015, the
calendar is wide open. At this point we only
have three events on the schedule with the
Laton High School Senior Night on November
7th, the Christmas party on December 11th and
the Christmas hayride and dinner on December
14th. See you on November 18th and if you are
eligible, don’t forget to vote early, but not
often.
