Meeting Minutes September, 07

Tuesday, September 11, 2007

The anniversary meeting of Tuesday, 9/11/01 was called to order at 7:16 p.m. by President Curt Smith at Chowders restaurant in Melbourne. 11 members were present..

GUEST SPEAKER: No guest speaker was present but Curt did announce that next month he plans on having an FWC spokesman to discuss the Dam controversy. It should be Dam interesting and he promises we will have some Dam answers. The Dam instigator was not present so no Dam discussion took place. Some members seemed confused on whether or not there are any Dam crossing signs prohibiting the act although someone said there is a Dam danger sign. No one was sure what the Dam message really means. Make sure you come to the Dam meeting , you will be dam glad you did.

OLD BUSINESS: none

NEW BUSINESS : The only new business mentioned was how to get Angie hooked up. I think it had something to do with rigging her ski or trailer but I am not sure.

PRESIDENT REPORT: Curt reported that SCJR received a thank you letter from the Candlelighters organization for our donation and explained what they do for children with illnesses. He also recalled how difficult it was having a meeting 6 years ago the same day that the planes hit the twin towers in New York.

V.P. REPORT: .John W. announced he too is an active member of the slackers club wasn’t properly prepared, forgot his book. Not sure what book, said it had dates in it, maybe Janet found it and threw it away, oh not that kind of dates, ride dates I think. Anyway, said we have a north st. johns ride coming up, Kissimmee river ride, Fernandina beach in October, etc. Emails to follow with details..

TREASURER REPORT: John could not be here, his wife is in intensive care at the hospital and we are all praying for him and her..

EVENT COORDINATOR: John Horseman gave the details of the upcoming Fernandina Beach trip for October and announced that 10 people are committed so far.

WEBMASTER: Curt reiterated that the website is still very actively visited daily.

SECRETARY REPORT: Since we had no guest speaker, I took the liberty to read last months minutes to entertain the crowd.. Bad move, my attempt at humor caused several members to say what a great job I am doing and that I should definitely continue for another year. I am not stupid, these members don’t want to do it so they tricked me into saying thank you and ok. Wait, maybe I am stupid, I think it worked.

Member spotlight: (See new business about hooking Angie up ) Also, Frank gave a demonstration of the wristmount camera that we have all heard about and passed it around for inspection.

50/50 drawing: Josh Wilson had football practice and could not be here to sell tickets so Angie stepped in and sold 24 tickets. John Horseman, who just had to buy a new ski after his hot rod wife Sharon blew up there sea doo, won the $12.00 jackpot so that brings down his cost of the new craft considerably. . Alan won a magazine and yours truly got hosed again. I think the Wilson Luck has run out!.

ADJOURNMENT: Meeting was adjourned at 7:59pm. We had fun with our comrads, some shrimp were sacrificed to the Jet ski gods and we made have even learned a thing or two.

Tom Wilson, secretary
