OVAHC November 2022 Meeting Minutes
Thirty-three members attended the meeting on Saturday, November 5 at the Jacobs home in Fairfield. The day was bright, very windy, sunny, and seventy degrees with leaves blowing everywhere. President John Jacobs called the meeting to order at 2:10 PM and thanked our hosts Joyce and Jake. President Jeff sadly informed us on the recent passing of member Billy Owens. Rest in peace.
Vice-President Scott, Secretary/Membership Dale, Historian John Parrott, President John Jacobs, and Web Site Administrator Don Klein had no report. Editor Mary Ann and Tech Director Tim were not present.
Tech Director Tim sent his report via email. On Friday, 10/21/22, six OVAHC Tech Team members met at the garage of Steve Bossert in Hamilton to do adjustments and give an initial evaluation on Steve's BT7 Healey that he recently purchased. We had help from Richard Pratt, Bernie Grabow, Paul Schondelmayer, and Dan Durbin along with Tim Ross and of course, Steve Bossert with his Florida green big Healey. Call or email Tim for advice, info on how to help, or to request a session.
Delegate / Business Manager Jake Jacobs informed us that when he attends the AHCA delegate meeting November 12 he expects them to raise dues for 2023. That is why they asked us to postpone paying dues until December. He gave a detailed preview of the issues concerning the dues changes that include affecting future publication of the Healey Marque magazine. Stay tuned for developments. If any members have topics for conversation or concerns for the delegates' meeting, contact Jake soon.
Activity Activator Skip's report was given by Secretary Dale. The Chatfield College car show and caravan was 10/22. Scott took pictures at the McCafferty Road covered bridge and printed them.. .We won 4 door prizes but no trophies. Great time was had by all, and see you next year. If you have any drives or activities you want to lead, please step up. Check the Newsleak and its calendar for future details and for all other activity questions, contact Skip.
Treasurer Cindy reported since the October bonfire at the Lindauer home in Walton, Ky: Credits: Split-the-Pot $50, new members Mike and Kim Bish, Dave and Vicki Roberts paid their dual membership to our club of $15 for $30 total. We took in $80. Debits: Bob Minton Newsleak printing and mailing expenses of $82.89. Currently we have 13 members that are mailed the hard copy of the newsletter. November meeting host Jake and Joyce Jacobs $75 for total debits $157.89. Our balance is solvent. The Tech Team balance is $2,167.97. Cindy said she is required annually to submit an accounting of all our costs for the delegates' meeting. That will be published by Mary Ann per our bylaws. Cindy has the receipts for everything if anyone wants to see them.
The September Roundup co-chairs handed out a detailed final summary of our show which included a financial report. This critique of the event which includes compliments and suggestions is on file with the Treasurer. Rosalee Campbell said, "If anyone wants a copy I can email it to them. Contact me at RRMC4344@aol.com." Rosalee then asked for those on the committee to raise their hands for special recognition. Lauren Wallace said Rosalee was very instrumental in reducing our expenditures. Rosalee sold the remaining September Round Up regalia, along with receiving a donation, which increased SRUP net income by $45.00 for an exceptional total net income of $2,015.42. Rosalee and her Co-Chairs had projected a profit of at least $2,000 based on their budgetary guidelines and resourceful planning and purchase decisions. They are pleased to now have achieved and exceeded their goal for our OVAHC. Rosalee thanked everyone for their help and said she really appreciated it. A robust applause erupted from the appreciative members to our Co-Chairs!
Old Business: The Christmas luncheon will be Thursday, December 8 at The Pub in Rookwood Mews from 3 to 5 PM. We have our own room and please R.S.V.P. to Secretary Dale so we can get the seating coordinated. No meeting, no gifts. Members and guests are welcome. DLB55AH@CS.COM or 859-384-1345.
New business: President John sent out a survey to try to one help out with discussions at the delegates meeting so that we can say what our club wants. He did get 18 responses and then the last two questions were about what our club does: What we're doing well and what needs improved. Since he received no comments for improvements, he considers that a positive response for our current Club activities. The biggest thing he noticed was that everybody said they liked our drives and we had a couple people saying we should incorporate drives either before or after meetings or before or after the R&J lunches. There were also a lot of people who liked the overnight trips. So if somebody wants to take up and say "hey I wanna go on a drive", you will have people that will line up to drive and ride with you.
Old & New business: If you are new or your old badge is busted, we will ask members who need a free name badge to inform Ken Kreuter so he can place an order for another batch. kkreuter@fuse.net or call 513-941-3646.
New business: The guys ROMEO lunch is Wednesday, 11/16 and the ladies Juliettes lunch is also 11/16. This is because of Thanksgiving. In case you are not aware, these are casual OVAHC lunches (guests welcome) one for his and a different one for hers where cars are not the main topic. No business, just food, drink, and conversations. Both at 12:45 PM across the street from each other. ROMEO at Longnecks 1009 Town Dr, Wilder, KY 41076 Phone: (859) 291-5664. Juliettes at Mellow Mushroom 1014 Town Dr, Wilder, KY 41076 mellowmushroom.com Phone: (859) 441-6600. John Wallace picks for the guys and Lauren Wallace lines up a spot for the ladies. Contact Secretary Dale if you are not already on these lists, please.
Lauren Wallace sold the split-the-pot tickets. Joyce Jacobs won $50 and the club kept the other $50 for the treasury. The next OVAHC meeting is in February. President John thanked his parents, Joyce and Jake for hosting and then adjourned the meeting. The snacking, socializing, and liquid refreshment consumption followed.
