TURKEY ROD RUN: Everyone registered for the Turkey Rod Run will get their parking passes from Bob Arnold. He receives them approximated two (2) weeks before the event and will hand them out to the registered participants.

For those club members that don't plan on using their passes for all the 4 day event can get together with other members and make their arrangements.

CHARITY DONATION: The Daytona Street Rod's collect donations for the Central Florida Food Bank during the TURKEY ROD RUN. Our Club, due to our generous club members, is the biggest donator to this charity during this event.

Sue Fitzpatrick is in charge of the donations for the past few years. Mike Symon motioned that the club donate $500.00 from one of our club accounts, Bobbi Jo seconded the motion and the motion passed except for Jack and Donna Messemer.

At this point, many members spoke about reason why our club accounts should not be touched. Elaine Fitzwater said she didn't feel they should use our club account because not all members attend the Turkey Rod Run. Bill and Kim Symon said the Car Show Account should only be used for the club putting on Car Shows. Ruth Miller asked about what our balance was in the General Fund.

At this point, Steve Amato motioned that we reverse the motion to donate $500.00 from the club account, Dave Smart seconded and the motion passed.

The process of donating to the Central Florida Food Bank was tabled till the November 15, 2007 Business Meeting. By the time we have this meeting, it will be known how much has been donated by individual members, hoping to at least have $1000.00 if not more.

NEW BUSINESS:

VALIANT AIR COMMAND SHOW: We need to elect a chairman for this show at our November 15, 2007 Business Meeting.

NAME TAGS: Joan Amato suggested that we have name tags for club events such as the Business Meeting. Our President, asked Elaine Fitzwater to look into the cost of having similar tags used at the NASA Expo.
