for audit. Rich T. and Dee volunteered to be on the audit committee.
5. President’s Report-Sal complemented club members for doing amazing things this year.
He thanked all the club members for their support and generosity. Richie L. pointed out
that Sal did a lot of work behind the scenes to make things happen and we should also
give him a hand. Great job, everyone! Sal reminded everyone that nominations for
officers will be at the next meeting and again before voting in December. He pointed out
that a one year term for any office will not help get things done. Richie T. made a motion
that the club make an amendment to the bylaws that we have elections every 3 years.
Joanie seconded. Richie L. will look into that.

a. ESU show went great! Ruth and Jim did a fantastic job. The club will be able to
donate $2000 to United Way/SECA. It was voted on at the end of the show.

college hill. The weather was rainy in the morning but cleared up later on..

there so Dee and Ruth and Dave will run the cruise. Sal asked if the club would want
to do an end of the year Halloween Cruise on Oct. 24th starting at 5 pm. He will get
special trophies and the theme will be Halloween. The last Friday is actually
Halloween and we do not want to do it then.
d. Phil said that the club won the $100 club award from the WE Fire Co. show. Other
shows that club members won awards were Lehman Township, P.J.’s, Gasket Goons,
