Chairperson Reports:
Advertising – Peter Ridgway
I’ve talked to a few advertisers and most seem OK with moving to non-printed POST but a few are not excited about it. Without being able to sit down with them to discuss the issues, it’s impossible to resolve. I’ve tried a few phone calls and it’ll take more than that for the ones that don’t get it.
Autocross – Anne Roth & Dave Dunwoodie
3 AX dates at Cow Palace, Aug 29/30, Sept 13th, Oct 24/25 (kill-a-kone) will be shared Zone 7 weekends with GGR. Insurance needs to be filed promptly. Invoices for Cow Palace need to be paid quickly to lock in these dates, Anne, Dave, Ed, Bob and John will coordinate paperwork.
Covid 19 waivers need to be signed in advance, Anne will work with Bob & Dave to get legal paperwork flowing through Motorsportreg in efficient manner.
The vote to send the autocross deposit check of $1,875.00 was approved following the meeting via email vote. John Reed made the motion. Bob Morgan seconded. There was no discussion and the motion passed.
Charity – Kathy Musser, Kris Vanacore, Emilie Highley
Hope to have Kill-A- Kone this year and are working on plans for a Jacob’s Heart tour. Everything depends upon shelter-in-place.
Emilie Highley – Hospitality
While LPR Members are still Sheltering In Place, Bill Highley had a Mitral Valve Surgical Procedure.
He is home, getting stronger and under the care of Nurse Emilie. . . aka Miss Hospitality!
Many members have called to check in on us which is very much appreciated.
Emilie is spoiling Bill with all of his favorite foods and root beer floats AND In n’ Out Burgers (his favorite)
Please reach out to me if you know of someone that is ill, lost a loved one, or just needs a card of ‘cheer’. . .
