June 2008
The Everett Boeing Stratocruisers met at Alfy's pizza, Silver Lake location. Promptly,
at 5:00 P.M
Our illustrious president Joanne Luster pounded her gavel and started the meeting.
Bonnie Smith read the minutes and Mark Thomson gave the treasurer's report.
Mark got the tabs and a new plate for the trailer. Mark is on the ball and got it
done before time.
Our website is down and do we really need one? John Novak has looked into several
sites and the most reasonable site he found is $150.00 for two years. We voted to
accept this offer.
We have a cabinet at the Boeing rec. center which Joanne and George see to it that
it's updated each month with new pictures of car of the month and various car related
items There are also pictures of car shows and garage tours. Car of the month is
John Novak and he will display pictures of several vehicles, maybe even Louella's
yellow truck.
Kla-Ha-Yah Days festival in Snohomish: The current poster has "Best of Show", 2007,
(1955 Chevy) on it. The car will be here for the show and will have a special spot
for display. Our meeting spot will be on the other side of the street from our previous
spot. There will be no parking on A street so the business people can park their
cars. The police chief of Snohomish is car club friendly so we gave him the honor
(along with the mayor) to choose a car with their title on it. We make our money
selling T shirts and will get 96 gray shirts to sell. Anyone can work on the car
show to register their car for free but MUST WORK! Work starts at 5:30A.M. Joanne
has been working on "Display Only" signs for club members who wish to show their
cars but not for trophies. She also made tickets for the "Name That Tune" winners---nice
work! Christmas House sent a message that they need workers to pick up "Lost and
Found" jackets, sweaters and sweatshirts from the local schools. The dates for this
would be the last week of school or the week after, Monday through Friday, no weekend
work. June 7th (to paint the trailer) has been moved to September because of bad
weather.
