WBA Meeting Minutes
March 15th, 2007
The meeting was called to order at 7:10 PM by President David Kanally at the Midway Point Restaurant. We moved immediately into reports:
Vice President's Report - Bob Van Guilder: Arranging alternate sites for the Ride ‘n Show will require more lead time than the current season permits, so we should move ahead with Sneaky Pete’s for the 2007 show.
Treasurer's Report - Phil Wolff: Treasury account balance is $1614.95. This is lower than is comfortable for a minimum balance. Members are encouraged to contribute parts and other items of value for sale by the club on eBay.
Secretary's Report – Richard Haug (in absentia): Nothing to report.
Membership Report – No new members, but the club was pleased to welcome guest Rick Shaefer from Fort Worth/Eagle Mountain.
