Meeting was called to order at 7:10 PM by Jack Messemer.
20 members were present. Attendance was taken.

 

President’s Report—There is an IRF video available from Bob Arnold. Power Point viewer is required to see it. Contact Bob. Also the Cruise News, Vol. 13 issue 141 has a nice tribute to Tom Staggs.
 

Vice President Report--- There was none
 

Treasure’s Report, Rip Dyal—Available on request

 

The IRF collected $120.00 less than previous year. Discussions followed as to the causes;  weather, another show at NASA, elimination of Club participation award, etc.

 

Jack Messemer reminded everyone of the Tom Staggs Memorial Fund and Scholarship efforts. There is a need for others to pick this effort up. Jack said that he could not do both the IRF and be the President also. Just too much! There was a motion for acceptance of the report and a second by Dave Smart. Unanimous vote.
 

Secretary’s Report ---John Novick was AWOL

 

Sunshine Lady Report--- A thank you card from Connie Staggs was passed around. Flowers were sent to Esther Valerio during her more recent stay in the hospital.
 

Jack mentioned that the Club needed four guys to handle the Beach Blast. Jack discouraged any participation in the Friday night cruise in as there is NO parking available near the Holiday Inn.
 

Old Business ---A. Crystal Arnold made a motion for Bob Arnold and Sue Fitzpatrick become the administrators of the Tom Staggs Fund. They need some type authority to write checks and other duties. There was a brief discussion and a second of the motion by Bobbie Joe Brandeberry.  Unanimous vote by show of hands. 

 

B. The Christmas Party will fall too close to Dec 25. Crystal wants to make reservations for Dec 14.  A motion was made and seconded with unanimous vote.
 

New Business---Trains, Cars and Planes Car Show at TICO airport is scheduled for 28 Oct. Dave Smart reports that currently there is a car club that may sponsor the show. At one time our club had a role. Dave suggested that Vintage Vehicles support this show effort. There was a motion made seconded and a unanimous vote to try to get this effort. There was no other business.
 

Jack Messemer thanked those who helped with the IRF this year. He thanked Crystal and her crew for all of the preps they provided and it shows that team work pays off with another success. Jack enforced the idea that next year we need more sponsors. That is where the IRF operating money comes from.

 

If the Club splits with the Chamber, more help will be needed. Jack offered to chair the show for next year. Jack suggested to send videos to both Haggarty Insurance and to Ron Norris, so they can see the work the Club puts into the show. 

 

There was much more discussions on the IRF. Jack also mentioned that the Club needs to get working on the Tom Staggs Memorial Scholarship Fund and the Daytona Street Rods Donation for the Turkey Rod Run in November.
 

Closing Comments---Swanny asked who owned the Sandpoint park? He also suggested that we do our own show. Jack Messemer reaffirmed our intentions for the future of the IRF. 

 

Joe Baldwin, Swanny and Steve Amato are going to participate in the Hot Rod Power Tour. It starts June 3rd from the Orlando Convention Center instead of Old Town at Kissimmee. There was some type of schedule conflict. Boh mentioned to show their Club Plaques on TV!!!
 

A motion was made for the adjournment of the meeting and seconded. The meeting was adjourned at 7:40 PM.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of John Novick,  ..... thank you Boh
