Slipstream - September 2014

egion is in good financial standing. He will be sending
an appropriate check to the Hope Shelter for monies
collected recently. Others will work together to get
a proper reporting of the amount owed and ask the
board later for an additional amount to be donated.
Drivers’ Ed Chair Chris Tabor said we have an
event coming up on Sept. 6-7, as well as a single day
event Sunday, Oct. 19. Registration is strong for the
Sept. event and he says the momentum is continuing.
Wes Lincoln has volunteered to be the new
Equipment Chair. Chris has 2015 dates reserved
and will secure them soon. He’s trying to increase
participation in yellow and white run groups.
Drivers’ Ed & Club Race Registrar Wendy Shoffit
reported that we had 42 registrations for the DE
in the first two days of opening, with more in the
yellow group than green or blue. That will change,
but it’s good. The CR committee will soon meet to
start making plans for the October Club Race.
John Hamilton announced that the Mav of the Month
was Don Sebert for his great work on the Photo Rally.
Later, at Don’s insistence, Carey Spreen was added as
Co-Mav of the Month for his work on the Rally. We
adjourned at 8:48 PM.
