following events as listed on the SERC site or received by him:

 

1.       The Food Lion Auto Fail will be held at Charlotte Motor Speedway August 26-29.

 

2.       Mike Keyserling wanted to remind members of a Labor Day weekend festival in the Heritage Park in Port

Royal (outside of US Naval Hospital Bft.) The Friends of Caroline Hospice have asked for a car display on

September 3rd.  That is our scheduled cruise in and we will not deviate.  The club would be willing to do

something on Saturday the 4th.  Members are encouraged to support this worthwhile cause.

 

3.       September 18th, Merchant Chevrolet in Ravenel will sponsor an open car show. Contact Randy for times.

7.       The Daytona Turkey Run car show is scheduled for November 25-28, 2010.

 

II. Old Business:

 

1.  The Executive Committee met to discuss problems and complaints on how judging is conducted at Cruise-ins. The

Exec. Committee agreed that membership should be limited to vehicles 20 model years and older of the current

calendar year.  The sticking point was awarding plaques to newer cars at Cruise-ins.  Once again, this an open show

and popular (public) vote. 

 

The President passed out copies of recommendations for Friday Cruise Ins. 

The committee has decided to try a new system at the August 6th Cruise.  Participants will register at the table and

completes a form with their name, address, e-mail, club affiliation, and car info.  The second information car will be

given to the owner to display on his/her car.  Members are needed to volunteer to mane the registration table. 

 

Dave Carroll, Jim Colwell, and Frank Williams will help in August.Ballots will not be passed out until 6:30 PM to give

folks time to get to the Cruise.  Voting will take place at 7:30-7:45 PM.

 

Those car owners who have won Best of Cruise will be asked if they would consider not vying for the Best of Cruise

award for the rest of the year.  If they agree they are free to run for a runner up award.  If they decline they are free to

try for another Best of Cruise.

 

26 members voted to try this approach and three dissented.

 

Rick Brown gave an update on the September 25th car show in conjunction with the

Beaufort Home Builders Association. 

 

Rick said the name of the show will be the Beaufort Home, Garden, and Car Show and held at Beaufort Towne Center.

 

Approximately 300 cars can be accommodated.  Overnight secured parking will be available.

 

Butler Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep has agreed to donate $500.00 for the trophies.  There will 82 trophies awarded. 

 

The show will start at 9:00 AM with awards given at 3:00 PM.  Rick has nine judges coming in from outside the area.

 

Volunteers are welcomed to help out with registration spotting cars, etc

 

III. New Business:

 

Weddings, do we really want to get into this business?  This season has seen a request for old cars more than ever.  All

in attendance agreed that $300.00 should be the minimum.  Part of the problem is that people are using the members

car photos to shop their favorite ride and then expect a car and driver for anywhere from 5 to 12 hours for $100.  (Ain’t

going to happen!)

 

The September 3rd cruise in will be sponsored by Callahan’s Sports Bar.  Thanks to Vic Neely. 

 

Rick Brown will host a covered dish at Islands of Beaufort club house for September 7th meeting.

 

 

Adjourned at 7:50PM.

 

 

Minutes of the CCTCB Meeting on July 6, 2010

Held at Boondock’s Restaurant, St. Helena Island, SC

 

 

The meeting was called to order at 7:07p.m. by President Fran Forcione.  Members approved the minutes of the June

meeting as they appeared on our website.  Per Treasurer Jim Colwell we had $3031.38 as of meeting time. 

 

Randy Lafferty, Membership Chair and Correspondence Secretary said he would talk with members present with dues

that are due and would contact those not at the meeting shortly.  He also updated the group on Cruises coming up and

 may be contacted for further information if needed.

 

Lowell Rorrer introduced his son, along with a neighbor and friend as guests at the meeting.

 

Last weekend’s 4th of July weekend Cruise in at Grayco Friday was reported as a total success with 15 Race Cars and

 60 Classic Rides!  Member Bob Woodman brought his race cars (Woodman Tires), and Johnny McGrady owner of

“The Little Red Corvette” Team car was present with two of our members, John Lynam and Jeff Dowling.  Mr.

Richard Gray again allowed the Cruise In at his parking lot on Route 21.  Plaque Sponsor was Sweetgrass Restaurant of

 Dataw.  Fran gave special thanks to the above along with Vic Neeley, Rick Brown, Rob Hilton, Rick Pierce for help in

setup, publicity and cleanup.  Thank you letters to the teams, Mr. Gray and Sweetgrass would be handled by Fran.

 

Per Executive Board it was decided NOT to participate in the July 31st Motorcycle Benefit Run as the Wounded

Warrior group is not the same as our presently sponsored organization out of Jacksonville.

 

OLD BUSINESS:

 

The List-Serve Email Address  - carclub@islc.net -  is up and running.  Fran Forcione will administering the program,

 adding and deleting addresses. If you have any changes, please contact him.

 

VP Rick Brown updated the group on the September 25th Car Show as part of the weekend Home/Garden & Car Show

 taking place on Boundary St. near the Government Ctr.  He will have a parking diagram and further layout information

 available at the August Meeting and they expect between 130-150 vehicles to participate.  

 

 

NEW BUSINESS:

 

The Club Executive Officers are recommending the following:

Any Club member that wins a Best of Cruise In at our Friday Cruise Ins will not be eligible again until the

 next season unless they win with a different ride.  They will display a placard informing attendees that they are not

 competing in the show, for Best of Show, although they will be eligible for runner up if they choose to enter.

 

               At this announcement a lively discussion ensued.  One remark that came out of the talks was that we might

 want to consider a point system for Club rides with a special commendation at the end of the year for the ride with the

 most points gathered during the course of the year.  Members also wanted it understood that this is supposed to be fun

 and that the Classics need not be show cars, but cars in process, in use, enjoyed.

 

               Also concern was voiced about the fact that we are a Classic Car and Truck Club founded on the premise that

 a classic must be at least 20 years old,  and are we ‘diluting’ our Club premise by allowing new vehicles to display and

 win.   Concern was voiced to limit the number of newer rides that can be displayed to win.  Fran said that the executive

 board would discuss these concerns and report back to the Club at the August meeting.

              

Fran brought up the idea of forming a Cruise In Team that will work at our first of every month events.  This will be a

 group of volunteers responsible for various jobs like registering rides, distributing ballots.  He is looking for different

 members for each event.  Also he wants the members to consider replacing the present procedure of placing numbers

 on the rides at the Cruise In, with a registration form.  Fran is also looking for a list of ride requirements to make a ride

 eligible for a plaque at the event.

 

Fran announced the 1st ever name tag drawing for those who wore their tags, Jim Colwell won and Tom Lewis was

 given a special prize for his volunteering his 1957 Chevy for weddings with proceeds benefiting our Christmas Meals

 on Classic Wheels.

 

Possible organized Cruise Out location was suggested by Barry Watkins as a trip to

Sweetwater Tree Farm in Aiken, home of former members Scott Urban & Sandy Wohlers.

This will be considered at a later date as the trip is 4+ hours round trip.

 

The next meeting will be held at Rosie O’Grady’s August 3rd.

The August 6th Cruise In plaques will be sponsored by Rockit Entertainment.

 

Meeting was adjourned at 8:07p.m..

 

 

Respectfully  submitted

Going over recent Council meeting notes, Randy spoke on the Council’s desire to have all clubs advertise the charities they sponsor

on their flyers so that the general public will be aware.  Also the Council wants any judging criteria along with other pertinent information

 available on flyers to make the events easier to understand for any interested parties who want to participate.

 

Under Old Business

 

Because there were only 9 responses to the BBQ out of town June meeting, it was decided to forgo the event this year and look to next

year for the Edwins BBQ event.

 

Fran passed out copies of the membership web survey which had 30 responses.  The results will be discussed at the June meeting.  Also the

By-law changes have been posted on our Club website.

 

The May 29th wedding party will enjoy Tom Lewis’ 1957 Classic Chevy convertible driven by Fred Krumm.   The Club will get a minimum of

$350 from this event, and it is hoped that future use of our classics will bring in at least that amount or more depending upon the situation.

Upon receipt of the details he will forward them to Tom and Fred.

 

Rick Brown updated members on the September Home and Car Show event.  He will be walking the area to configure the setup.  He said

mention of the show will be made on at least 12 area websites and that it is the only show of significance in the area that weekend.

 

Under New Business

 

Rick Brown spoke on the lack of member’s rides on the Club website giving the perception that we only have a few members.  Rick requested

that all members whose rides are not on the website get pictures and description to him.  Also he will be taking pictures of member’s rides at

up coming events for the Club website.

The June meeting will be at the Dataw Island Gazebo by the marina, and will be a pot luck supper meeting.  An email about food contributions

Randy Lafferty, Membership Chair said several members had dues due and he would be contacting them soon.  He said records showed that we

had about 90 members total, but felt that some would not be renewing and he would have a more up-to-date list available shortly.  He also

mentioned that there would be an update of new members recently joined with info on their rides sent out via email within a few days of the

meeting.

 

President Fran brought up the proposed change to our By-laws  -  Article V, Section 5.2.  The current section reads:

 

Nominations for office shall take place in January/February of the new year,

with solicitation of volunteers for all positions to be sought first.  Term of office

shall be for one year or as mutually agreed upon by outgoing and incoming

officers.

 

Proposed change (as read to members by the President):

 

Term of office shall be one year for Vice President who will succeed the

President the following year.  Two years for the Secretary and the Treasurer,

or as mutually agreed upon by outgoing and incoming officers.

 

As only one member per family could vote, the count was as follows:  14 for and 3 opposed.  The change to the By-laws was passed

and recorded.

 

The upcoming display for the Port Royal Crab Fest put on by the Old Village Association Saturday, April 24th as discussed.  Members

Festival at noon.  Other interested parties could cruise in at their convenience.  We were informed that there would be no police escort

as the force is no longer doing escort services.  The location remains at the elementary school with spaces available for 50 plus cars.

Walterboro had said they would send some rides and other clubs also were interested in participating.  It was made clear to all

interested that this was a “Display Only” event with no prizes or trophies.

 

Vice President Rick Brown updated the members on the Beaufort Home-Garden and Car Show which will take place

September 25th.  He will continue to work on this event and keep the Club posted on changes and additions to the timetable and

planned events.  Also he stressed that this would be a trophy/prize event with about 46 trophies for 23 classes.  Contact Rick if

you have questions or concerns about this upcoming Show.

 

Randy went through a partial list of April-May Cruises and Shows.  If you want more info on these contact him directly.

 

President Fran discussed the Member Survey that he had emailed to all registered members.  He already had several responses

and felt this might help the Club plan for future outings and events for all to enjoy as well as address changes that might come up.

 

The May Meeting will be held the first Tuesday of May at Kathleen’s on Bay Street.  The June Meeting wmay be a BBQ at a

State Park with Cookin’ provided by Hamp & Minnie Edwins and friends.  More on that at the next meeting.

this endeavor.  Please contact him with your thoughts and ideas.

 

 Under NEW Business:

event with plaques will be Earl’s Body Shop and the May event plaques will be provided by Alvin Ord’s.

 Rick Brown would like to see logo apparel with club insignia streamlined so there is not an excess of inventory.

 to chauffer, Mike Keyserling has offered to drive which ever car the bridal couple prefer.  A donation to the Club

 for their Christmas Meals on Classic Wheels will be requested.

 

 Our Wounded Warriors sponsorship is also a part of whatever events we hold and make a profit from.  Another

suggestion arose that we consider sponsoring a Christmas Tree for the Festival Of Trees Event in December that

assists the Caroline Hospice Program.  Betsi  suggested a car theme with each member providing a couple of matchbox

cars as ornaments.  Further discussion will be at a later date.

 

 Jim Colwell brought up the idea of participating (just for fun) in the Moonlight Bowling Extravaganza on Saturday

nights at 8PM at our local Bowling Alley.  Contact Jim if you are interested.

 

 Richie Parker, design engineer for Hendricks Motor Sports in the Charlotte, NC area has assisted in the design of

several of the unique chassis used in many well known race cars.  The son of Lottie and Tracy Parker, and a member

of our Club, Richie might be interested in taking a group on a tour of the facility during the Food Lion Auto Fair at

the Charlotte Motor Speedway on the weekend of August 26.  Further details on this will be forthcoming.  Also check

out the website:  hendricksmotorsport.com   Tracy also mentioned that we need to let our local merchants know that

CC&TCB is still alive and kicking and we should support them.  Many of the auto parts stores in our area give club

discounts.  And several have sponsored cruise-ins through the years. 

 

 The next Club meeting may take place at the new ’Groupers’ Restaurant on Lady’s Island by the Marina (formerly

 Ollies).  The Executive Board will check it out and notify the membership prior to the May meeting.

 ride performed admirably until the last couple hours when the radiator sprung a leak. 

Congratulations to our R&R Racing team of Rick Brown, Rob Hilton, Rick Pierce and Frank

 Williams on finishing and bringing the Franken Honda home!  Thanks also was noted to Bob

 Woodman for helping the team test drive over at Robling Road.   On Sunday, February 7th the

Charleston Mopar Club came down and met up with a number of CCTCB members at Sonics on

Lady’s Island.  Good turnout also from their members in Effingham County.  On Saturday, January 23rd

 12 rides and 15 members cruised over to Callahan’s on HHI for an excellent lunch.  Many thanks to

Vic Neely for the world class onion rings and hamburgers  (our R&R Racing Team got a chance to

practice up on Vic’s Racing Game!).  President Forcione expressed sincere thanks, on behalf of

 the Club, to Mike and Angie Keyserling for hosting this month’s meeting and cooking the oysters!

 

Old Business:  President Forcione introduced the other officers of the Club: Rick Brown,

Vice President and Jim Colwell, Treasurer.  He noted we still did not have a secretary.  Betsi

Hilton volunteered to be Secretary, to be supported by two Assistant Secretaries—Donna

Berger and Jane Gallagher.  The election of these members was voted by acclamation.

 

Mike Keyserling reported that he had met with the Old Village Association (Port Royal) and that

the traditional Oktoberfest where the Club had held its annual Car Show, is not likely to be held

 this year.

 

New Business:  The Walterboro Cruisers have indicated that they will attend our regular monthly

 Cruise-In on March 5 at the Grayco Hardware site on Lady’s Island.  The Executive Committee

urged members to come out and support this participation from Walterboro.  Jim Colwell noted

 that the Walterboro Cruisers meet regularly on the 3rd Saturday each month in Walterboro. 

He also pointed out that the Walterboro Cutouts regularly meet the last Thursday each month

up there.

 

President Forcione noted that on Saturday, March 20 the Dataw Island Relay for Life team will be

 holding a tag sale and car display in the Grayco Home Center parking lot as a fundraiser for finding

a cure for cancer.  He encouraged members to support this event.  Complementary hotdogs, soda

and water will be provided to all members and family that bring a ride for the display.  He will be

 circulating a flyer to members with more information.  He proposed and the members present

voted to contribute $100 to Relay for Life project.

 

Jack Gallagher and Rick Brown reported that the Butler dealership would like to sponsor a car

display with active CCTCB participation in March.  The display would be at its used car lot at

Boundary & Hwy 170.  It was agreed at the meeting that Saturday, March 27 would be an

 acceptable date.  More information will be provided to members via email and the website.

 

Change to By-laws:  The Executive Committee recommends that the Club change its By-laws , to

 be voted upon at its March 2010 meeting, as follows:

Article V, Section 5.2: Nominations for office shall take place in  January/February of the new

calendar year, with solicitation of volunteers for all positions to be sought first.  Term of office

shall be for one year or as mutually agreed upon by outgoing and incoming officers.  PROPOSED

 CHANGE- Term of office shall be one year for Vice President who will succeed the President the

 following year.  Two years for the Secretary and Treasurer, or as mutually agreed upon by

 outgoing and incoming officers.

 

President Forcione noted that the Executive Committee will be sending a survey to all members

 soon dealing with a number of matters affecting the Club, its activities, programs and

communications.  The purpose will be to determine what our membership would like to see

added to, or discontinued from, our activities and why out of approximately 100 dues paying

 members, only some 30 or so actively participate in events.

 

Because the Oktoberfest is up in the air, the Executive Committee proposed that we make the

 forthcoming Beaufort Home and Car Show, sponsored by the Home Builders Association, our

 primary show and fundraiser for the year.  The Executive Committee also recommended that

 if the Oktoberfest actually were to be scheduled that the Club could participate as a display

 event.  Rick Brown reported that the Show would take place on Saturday, September 25th, with

 a $20 entry fee to include a meal and T-shirt.  Many trophy categories with non-CCTCB judges;

 CCTCB rides would be in iits own corral. Given the depth of sponsorship this Show has the

prospects of becoming a major event in the state.  Proceeds raised would benefit the Club’s Meals

 on Classic Wheels project at Christmas time as well as the Wounded Warriors Fund.  Rick

 indicated that virtually all of the support work, advertising and promotion would be funded by

 the HBA.  The  members present voted to make this the Club’s major fundraising event and to

support it fully.

 

Members present voted to support an entry for the upcoming Pine Box Derby race, with a

 contribution of $50.  Further details to be obtained from Rich Davis.

 

Upcoming events:
