2 Northwest Chapter ATHS Membership Meeting November 10, 2012 Walrath Trucking Tacoma, WA Call to Order: President Roy called the meeting to order at 1:06 P.M. and announced that 25 antique trucks were displayed today. Introductions: We introduced ourselves and the shopper s column was passed around. Minutes: The minutes for the September 9, 2012 meeting were published in the newsletter. Additions or corrections were called for. None were noted so the minutes stand approved as published. Treasure Report: Treasurer, John Nichols, reported that we had about $3000 Communications: President Roy reported on the communications he gets from National. Besides the normal communications National ATHS is starting a fund raising brick drive. The bricks will be placed at the National Headquarters and are available in the following sizes: 6 x6 at $150, 6 x9 at $250, 6 x12 at $500 and 12 x12 at $1000. There will be an article and pictures in the next Wheels of Time about Vic Anderson receiving the Golden Achievement award. He was presented the award during our April meeting at LeMay s Marymount facility. National ATHS dues will increase $3 next year. Old Business: none New Business: President Roy selected a nominating committee for next-years officers. They are Pat Neuroth, Mike Scott, and Art Watkins. Art Watkins was selected to be chairman. Judy Watkins made a plea for more members to volunteer to do things for the club. Al Downs volunteered to do an on-line spread sheet of club members. Our annual truck show has now been moved to the 2 nd weekend in August and will be held at the Scottish- Rite, Shriner s site in Tacoma. This year there will be a $5 entrance fee, with children under 12 admitted free, and a $10 registration fee. Once again you can bring as many trucks as you want for no additional fee. President Roy announced that he had attended the funerals of two of our members, Bill Foley and Jeff Shaver. 2 Next Meeting: February 16, 2013 at the Puyallup Eagle s Hall., With no further business the meeting was adjourned 1:39 PM Respectfully submitted, John A. Brown, secretary NOMINATING COMMITTEE REPORT The Nominating Committee chaired by Board Member Art Watkins has reported that the following have accepted the nomination for the positions as listed: PRESIDENT: Jack Davis (currently Vice President) VICE PRESIDENT: Dave Wester SECRETARY: Al Downs TREASURER: John Nichols (currently Treasurer) BOARD MEMBERS: Art Watkins and Pat Neuroth (both currently Board Members who s terms expire at the February 2013 Annual Meeting) PRESIDENTS REPORT It has been a long ride and most of it rather smooth a few bumps along the way but fortunately no chuck holes. That is certainly due to the great cooperation I have had from the Officers, Board and you, the Northwest Chapter Members!!! I can still remember the evening on February 25, 1995 at our winter Northwest Chapter meeting at Pederson s Petroleum Museum in Seattle. It was an evening dinner meeting. Jeanette and I entered the old automobile dealership building from the alley, walked up the board ramp to the second floor and was greeted by a call and motion from Jerry Noordman that he wanted to talk to me. He informed me that Bob Brown had been our President since 1983 (I knew that since Jeanette & I had attended the 3rd Chapter Meeting on January 28, 1984) and wanted to give up the job. Would I be President, he asked. Jeanette & I talked about it and I said, yes. I was elected and appointed/selected a Board of Directors that night. We subsequently generated By-Laws for the Chapter which were adopted on April 26, 1996 one of the first ATHS Chapters to adopt ByLaws. (see page 3) Another thing happened at that February 1995 meeting that I won t forget Tom Krajieck was new to the Northwest having moved here from New York. He wondered why we didn t have a Chapter Truck Show since the Chapter back there had one. That started the wheels turning for our 1st Chapter Truck Show held at Stroh s Feed property in Gig Harbor on July 9 & 10, (continued on page 8)
