Greg passed out club applications if you needed any and suggested that you keep some in your car to pass out to a potential new member.

Greg mentioned that Connie had done research on the possibility of our club joining the Midwest Chevelle Regional Governing Council and hosting a Regional Car Show in the Iowa/Nebraska area every 5 years. Said we need commitment from members in order to do this regional and that O’Riley’s would provide $2,500 in seed money and the other clubs in the Regional Council would provide $3 per member in seed money, then asked Connie to give more details. Connie said she had gotten Ameristar Casino to let us use their lot and that there was 3 hotels on site. We would also have to provide Liability Insurance and received a quote from Hagerty Insurance for $380 per year for the club. Event insurance would run $1000. Would be cheaper to just do a liability policy for the whole year. We need commitment in order to do this show. Connie and Russ are planning to go to the next Regional Car Show, which is June 26 and 27 in Springfield, MO., hosted by the Queen City Chevelle Club to shadow them and see how things are done. Gave an outline of events that will take place at this regional. Also the Queen City Chevelle Club has provided Connie with the budget from the show they held 3 years ago. It takes about $7,000 to $10,000 to host a show. Entry fee for this show would be $40.

Greg also mentioned that Hinshaw’s are interested in setting up a booth if we do this regional and that we could possibly get Tom Pelchat of Classic Keyless to set up a booth as well.

It was also discussed about raising club dues between $27-$30 per year to cover the seed money needed to pay to the other clubs that would be hosting the regionals if we join the Midwest Chevelle Regional Governing Council.
