The complete text from the committee is listed below:

Statement of Proposed Amendment to Bylaws:
In order to enhance and expand the club's presence at our one and only yearly club display, we propose to change and amend the by-laws to allow for monies won as prizes from car shows throughout the preceding year to be divided equally among people who participate in the club's yearly World of Wheels Show display. The club will make a 100% match to these funds with a one time yearly contribution from the club's general fund.

Specific Wording of Amendment:
The club will earmark any cash awards won through participation at car shows throughout the year as, "World of Wheels Fund". The amounts earmarked to this fund will be announced at each club meeting by the Club President and entered into the minutes by the Secretary. A running record of this fund will be maintained by the Treasurer and included in their monthly reports.

The club will contribute a matching dollar amount to this W.O.W. Fund from it's general fund at the end of this one show only, once each year, providing that this contribution will leave no less than $1500 in the club's account to insure the club sufficient money to maintain normal activities throughout the year. If the club's matching contribution would leave less than $1500 in the general fund, the club will contribute only the amount exceeding $1500 at the end of the W.O.W. Show.

Each year at the next regular club meeting following the W.O.W. Show, the President will present a check for an equal share of this fund to each of the members who participated. Participation will be defined as members who enter and show a car, or members who help with both the set-up and take-down of the club display.


Proposed change to bylaws required by this amendment:

Article 12, Section 3, which currently reads:
CLUB MONEY SHALL NOT BE USED FOR ANY PERSONAL PURPOSES WHATSOEVER

Shall be changed to read:
CLUB MONEY SHALL NOT BE USED FOR ANY PERSONAL PURPOSES WHATSOEVER, WITH THE ONE AND ONLY EXCEPTION BEING MONEY IDENTIFIED IN AMENDMENT #1 REGARDING WORLD OF WHEELS FUND CONTRIBUTION AND DISTRIBUTION.

The September meeting will be at Don Stonlenberg’s 9/11 at 5:00.

No further business and the meeting was adjourned.
