MCL Cafeteria,
Muncie, Indiana
The fourth quarter meeting of International Harvester Collectors Chapter 7 was called to order by President Don Villwock at 12:55 pm. Twenty eight members were in attendance with several of their spouses. Introductions were done by those in attendance.
The treasurer's report was given by Mark Dickman and John Yoars. Mark has taken on the position as treasurer and at the time of the meeting information on the accounts were still being transferred from Jim and Cheryl to Mark.
The minutes were read by Pat Schlegel. Duane Hansford made a mention of the date that was listed at the end of the minutes for the 2024 state show At Osgood, Indiana. Within the minutes the show dates were listed as June 20-22, 2024. But in a list of upcoming events at the conclusion of the minutes the date had been listed as June 27-29, 2024. The minutes were accepted with that correction being made. The date of June 20-22 would be in conflict with the Red Power Roundup. So the date for the show is confirmed as June 27-29, 2024.
A presentation was made by Ron Myers, the president of chapter #33 president for the IHCC Midwest Regional Spring Gathering, March 14-16, 2024, at the Kruse Plaza, 5634 Opportunity Way, Auburn, Indiana.
Norm Jackson gave a history of International Harvester Collectors Chapter 7.
New Business:
There was a discussion on items to hand out to promote the chapter to prospective members.
Don called for a directors meeting following the membership meeting.
With no other business to discuss at this time the meeting was adjourned.
Directors meeting:
Don said he would look into scheduling the first quarter meeting at the MCL on the Southside of Indianapolis for January 28, 2024. This date has been secured for the meeting at the MCL Cafeteria, 3630 S. East Street, Indianapolis, Indiana. Members and guests will meet for noon dinner and the meeting will be at one pm.
Discussion with regards to the spreadsheet Neil had prepared pertaining to preparation cost of the newsletter.
Duane Hansford questioned the required liability insurance clause by the host club of the state show. After much discussion it was decided to start the process of removing the article from the by-laws with the membership and update the by-laws.
The directors voted in favor of Chapter 7 to be involved with the IHCC Midwest Regional Spring Gathering.
With no other business the directors meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Pat Schlegel, Secretary
