President's Letter - Route 66 Corvette Club

Discussion of motion: Discussion about the validity of awards and the purpose of additional awards, started
prior to this year, was to increase club activity participation. Opinion was that it was not successful. In future,
budget issues are to be considered. The reason and purpose of additional awards are to be reviewed by “Club”
and voted upon. Certificates of Appreciation will be considered.
Approval to purchase awards was approved by majority board member/officers in attendance.
Gary Schiermeyer brought up the subject of an inventory of assets for items owned by the club. Also the turn
over of keys for the storage unit where the club stores all of its equipment.
Discussion was made regarding the clubs official charity, which is the National Kidney Foundation. It was
discussed that we should continue to support this charity unless the need to change was brought up at the club
meeting and approved by a simple majority vote. The idea that we should also support a local charity, like
F.I.S.H., was recommended.
Tom Reitz brought up the question of “When do new officers accept their positions?” The Constitution states in
Article VII, section 2, The elected officers shall be elected at the November business meeting and be installed at
a time and place designated by the Board of Directors.

Discussion of motion: After future elections, Board of Directors will have to make a statement as to when the
new officers will be installed.
