Section II - Any member in good standing is eligible to hold Office.

 

We need to re-establish a Board of Directors.

Roy:  Suggest we appoint 3 people tonight, and start the annual rotation with the remainder of this year.  One member will do a short 1-year term ending January 1, 2004; another will do the shortened 2-year term and a third will take the shortened 3-year term.

Numismatic News:

There was a half-page article in NN, April 22, 2003, Vol. 52, #16, Pg. 34, about the Club Show in April, with a photo!

Larry: Sent John T a copy of the CVCC article in Numismatic News to put on the website.  However, John did not receive it; Larry to resend.

 

Club Brochure:

Larry: Asked John T about progress on the Club’s new tri-fold pamphlet.

John T:  Got started, but nothing more done.  The content has been agreed upon.  Need to get some graphics for coins.

Second Club Show:

Roy:  At previous meetings there has been discussion about having two Club shows per year.  It was discussed several times and voted down.  3 – 4 years ago, the Club had a second show, but it was not well supported.  Roy is now offering the December 14^th show date if the Club would like to try again.

Show of hands:  10 for YES to try doing a second show this year.

Larry:  Proposed a motion for the Club to sponsor the Sunday, December 14^th Show at the Holiday Inn.

Seconded: Leonard

The motion was passed.

 

Roy:  The show has already been advertised in calendars as an Eau Claire Coin Show, and he will change the future advertising to reflect that it is being sponsored by the Club.

Larry:  Size of room?

Roy:  Has already contracted with the Holiday Inn to use the larger area.  Already has 22 tables booked for the September 21^st show.  Room fee is $300.  20 tables would bring in about $625, which allows plenty of money for room hire, advertising, etc.   If the December show is not well supported, then can revert to the smaller-size room for the April show.

Some discussion about using Malls for Shows.   However, it was pointed out that the shows in Eau Claire have a good reputation, and existing facilities are satisfactory.

Roy will handle the applications for the show.

Tables:  $35 each, $65 for two.

For Club members – starting next month (October), members can put in their fees to reserve tables.  Send out applications with next Newsletter.

Roy will be giving out applications at the October show - to reserve tables for the December show.

Bob:  Suggests having a supply of the Club’s Newsletters at Roy’s shows.

John T:  Also, add the membership application form on the Newsletters.

 

New Business:

 

Christmas Party:

Larry:  Christmas Party – looking for suggestions for venue.

After discussion, Larry: Proposed a motion to have the party at Connell’s II at the Airport.

Seconded:  John D.

Motion passed.

Bob will reserve the room for the first Thursday in December.

Roy:  Let people at Parks & Rec Dept know that we won’t be here in December.

Larry:  Will deal with it.  Has already amended the January date to the following week (due to New Year’s Day).

 

Next Meeting:  Education

Volunteer to host the education part of the meeting:  Ken Mahalko

Volunteer for October Junior Session, (5 – 15 mins):  Doug.

Volunteer for November Junior Session:  Charly

 

Storage space:

John T:  Cabinets for Club? Noticed some in this room.  We could leave files and name tags, etc. in a lock-up storage cabinet. 

John D:  It is possible we might already have a cabinet on another floor of the building, from long ago.

Will find out.
