Waxmeister’s Report

An additional $275 was acquired for the United Ostomy Assoc. by auctioning two $100 Dinan gift certificates, intended for the Clean Car contest, at the July 21-22 autocross. Scheduling for Swap Meet events was suggested to be held every other year, probably at Master Care in San Marcos. Dennis Damon followed up with Encinitas BMW regarding financial commitments made to suport the Clean Car Contest. Management was unwilling to make good on expenses that Dennis covered out-of-pocket. Dennis and Gordon will contact AutoNation headquarters regarding the situation. It is recommended the Club pursue a different partner, such as Brecht BMW, for the Clean Car Contest. Motion by Bill Woolard to reimburse Dennis $420 for Clean Car expenses; approved unanimously. Dennis will reimburse the Club should the money ever be recovered from Encinitas BMW.

Webmeister’s Report:
