NHHAC NEWS February 2015 Page 2 NORTH HILLS HISTORIC AUTO CLUB MINUTES January 11, 2015 On January 11, 2015, President Mike Quinn called the meeting to order following the Pledge of Allegiance. President Quinn inquired if there were any corrections or additions to the minutes of the December 14, 2014 meeting. There were none. Steve Illsley motioned to accept the minutes, and Jackie Sheerer seconded the motion. Treasurer Jack Swaney read the treasurer's report. Current cash balance is $6,202.53.

She would welcome cards. Mike Quinn reported that he is doing well on his current medication, and although he still remains on the liver transplant list, if the medication continues to work and his blood tests are good, he may not require a transplant. Jim Driscoll is finished with chemo but is undergoing further treatment for bone cancer and is doing well on the treatment. Cards or calls will be appreciated. No guests or new members were present. Old Business Daryl Elliott reported that as of January 11, Krebs confirmed that they cannot provide their facility for our flea market this year because of space limitations. Other locations are being explored, but thus far, nothing has been identified. The date might have to be changed if a suitable location can be identified. Members were asked to canvass locations for possibilities. If a larger suitable location can be found, additional spaces could be made available and walk-ins could be increased. If no location can be identified, flea market will have to be canceled for 2015. Jack Swaney reported 50 reservations for the after Christmas party. Pat O'Neill reported that the date for the spring painting seminar has not been confirmed New Business Mike Coco reported that the spring trip this year will be to Walnut Creek, Ohio rather than Blackwater Falls.
