George Tabor opened the meeting by thanking the last years board members and welcoming the new board

George asked what events the club wanted to do for this year. Events mentioned were:

Patti - Joining Saddlehorn's Annual Community Garage Sale
Dave - He and Sunny want to sponsor an overnight RJC trip to Sierra City, California. Maybe do a car tour to the Feather River Inn if it is in operation
Patti - Possible trip in to Volcano, CA see the Fall colors
Harry - wants to sponsor 2 motorcycle rides
George - mentioned that Mike Johnson has purchased the SCCA timing gear. He proposes a couple of Slaloms with the possibility of the club purchasing these timing lights from Mike for the club
George - More Tech Sessions
Patti - She and Rich want to organize a car tour and wine tasting/exploring trip to Calaveras County in the Fall
Mike Glass - wants the club to go to the Tahoe Wooden Boat Concours

George wants our club to have more exposure. Discussion ensued about how we might increase our profile in the community. Suggestions were made about conducting some club car shows in venues where there is foot traffic, such as downtown, at the Harrah’s car museum, the A&W drive-in at Plumb and Kietzke; Legends Mall, was mentioned as a venue with lots of traffic. Patti volunteered to follow up on this idea. We also have Tag-a-Jag postcards and tri-fold brochures about the club to place on Jags we see in the community. The question arose about the whereabouts of the Club banner. Patti will check with Gary Dyer.

Membership:
Harry expressed his concern that JCNA does not seem to have their membership records reflecting accurately our club membership. Further discussion revealed that the JCNA web-site has a password-encrypted section where clubs can submit additions and changes to their membership. Harry will follow up to ensure that our membership is accurately reflected at the national level.
We have two new memberships: Wellman and Yamamoto. Patti will attempt to contact the guests who attended the Christmas dinner.

Bylaws:
Patti inquired about the RJC by-laws and requested that each board member’s job description be defined. Dave produced a printed copy which does describe each officer’s duties. Wendy offered to scan this document so that we will have an electronic copy to share (done and attached).

Fundraising:
Ideas were floated about attracting local automotive business sponsorship for some of our events. Harry and George mentioned Sierra Motor Sports and Metric Motors as possibilities; also Gilson Auto Body in Spanish Springs. [a later thought by Wendy not mentioned during the meeting: what about selling small logo advertising space on our very excellent web-site?]

Collaboration with other Jag Clubs:
Mike spoke about the Western States club in central coastal California and their activities. He attended a meet in Colorado and fared very well. The Sacramento Club has previously expressed interest in participating in DVG, but has yet to follow through. Mike and George spoke about a possible car meet with or two clubs between here and Sacramento; maybe Nevada City/Grass Valley.

Tech Sessions:
The next scheduled is at Gary Dyer’s home on Saturday, January 9.

Treasurer’s Report:
Operating account: $2331.00
DVG account: $1237.00
Dave stated he plans to move $700.00 from DVG to the Operating account.

Car Badges:
Patti suggested that the Club needs to purchase remaining inventory for Iain, and be sure he is not out-of-pocket for the badges and pins. Dave provided the original invoices to Wendy to give to Iain. Patti has car badges to be placed for sale on e-bay, as her time permits.

The meeting drew to a conclusion with George reminding us that he will be spending this summer in Oklahoma, as he and Marje prepare to retire there.

There being no further new or old business for discussion, the meeting was adjourned at 11:50 a.m.
