General Business...
 | The minutes were read and accepted with the only change noted that the supply of t-shirts is running low. |
| The treasurer report was read and accepted. The club has 62 members of which 79% are National MVPA members. Renewal notices were mailed on two occasions as were email notifications. |
| A "General Call" for newsletter articles has been placed by the Secretary. Stories and photos (300dpi) are to be submitted by 19-Feb-03 for the March edition. The newsletter will be sent on-line to those requesting delivery that way. US Postal Service is also available for those members requesting that delivery method. |
| The club website has been updated to reflect single event page descriptions to facilitate easier use by the membership. |
Old Business...
| The Monster Truck show was held in San Antonio and attended by several members and 7 vehicles. Also included was a military vehicle parade and John K brought out the National Anthem singer. |
New Business...
| The Boy Scout Parade is scheduled for 08-Feb-03. We will be hauling about 30 scouts and 30 or so adults so a call to all vehicle owners has been put out for this event. Club T's are the UOD and we will stage on the Congress Ave. bridge. |
| The next club meeting is Feb 19th. |
| Camp Grueber re-enactment in Muskogee, OK is an all weekend event. Contact John K for additional information. |
| Texas Independence Day Parade is scheduled for Sat March 1. We should be receiving the information packet around the first of February. |
| There is no club interest in attending the Bastrop Mardi-Gras parade this year. |
| The VFW F4C parade remains on hold. The concrete slab should be poured this month for a March movement. |
| Brent Mullins Open House remains scheduled for March 21/22. There will be a live fire demonstration weather permitting. |
| Randolph AFB in San Antonio is holding a TATOO event Thursday March 27. |
| Some discussion took place regarding the Burnet Air Show and Joe VanSlyke Memorial parade in conjunction with the Burton Cotton Gin Festival. |
| The Houston Gun Show is this coming weekend. |
| The Temple Air Show (formerly the Georgetown Air Show) remains on track. Don and Web are to attend the first meeting. The show should be better for us in that the crowd must pass through our display area to view the show and the area will be open access during the show.. May 3/4 with a WWII and ToraToraTora show included. |
| Don and Web are asking for help in putting on new tracks on the half-track this weekend. |
| Liability insurance was again discussed. More information later this quarter. At this point, waivers appear to be a good option. Group insurance remains under investigation by Tim. |
| A short discussion was held regarding a position on the National MVPA board. The $500 annual stipend is only a slight offset to the expenses associated with attending events. A motion to change the rules regarding membership time/events attended will be floated by Tim to other chapters soon. |
| The National MVPA event this year is in Alameda CA at the USS Hornet. All Expert Driver awards must be submitted by Feb 15th. |
