Good turnout at Blackwoods for the meeting on November 13. Bob Schmidt from Invergrove Parts Sales sponsored the evening, and it was 2 for one on pasta so one lucky guy went home with lunch for the next day ( Hi Mike). For those of you that missed the meeting, Bob assured us that he will continue to go above and beyond to get you the parts you need when you need them. You might get your Honda ,Toyota or Scion parts from another resource, but they'll never beat Bobs customer service.
There was a vote to reduce the number of General Meetings to 3 a year, thinking that may help increase attendance. After discussion there was a vote, and the 15 members in attendance decided to keep the meeting schedule as it has been with no changes.
Dues should be to Jody @ Uncle Dunbars, 210 E 1St Street 55802 by January 31. They will be the same as last year $200.
This years Holiday Party will be Friday January 18th at Greysolon Plaza for all 2012 paid members. Watch this space for more details. Any thoughts or suggestions can be addressed with Rick Dunbar or Jody Nelson, Jax Eisenmann will help coordinate the affair.
Justin Prendergast, instructor of the auto body program at LSC, has joined us for some of our meetings. He would like to propose an apprentice program for any shops that would like to participate. He would like to start this year during their Christmas break December 21 -January 14. There would be no long term commitment unless thats something that would be mutually beneficial at the end of their training. Contact Justin for more information.
Last but not least, there was a vote that evening for 1 open board member position, Secretary and Treasurer. George Eisenmann was at the end of his 1st term on the board and had such a good time serving he agreed to do it again. No one was willing to take over secretary/ treasurer, so Jody gets it again by default.

Changes to by laws
This letter is to inform you of the purposed changes to the Northern Collision Business Association by laws. The 2012 board members would like to reduce the number of general meetings to 3 considering everyones busy schedules. One in November that would include voting for board members, the Holiday Party in January and one in March. Current and future board members would agree to meet according to this schedule, to plan events and activities.
Any objection to this schedule should be addressed with any of the current board members.
The next General meeting which will include voting for open positions, will be held November 13th due to the presidential elections on the 6th. The meeting will be held at Blackwoods in Proctor @5:30. Bob Schmidt with Invergrove Parts will be the dinner sponsor.

Chad from Johnsons Supply has agreed to do our required annual fit testing so watch this space for further updates on that. Membership is down as you can see. If you get a chance, encourage any non members to join and participate. Some shops have been doing some headlight buffing with good results so products and methods were discussed. Food was good so was the service, the meeting broke up around 8pm

Just stuff and updates
You may have noticed we have more Associate Members than Body Shop Members. I've reminded everyone multiple times. If our sponsores can get their dues in on time I dont feel I need to follow shop owners around to get them to send their payment. Anyone that wishes to continue to participate in our organization will have to submit payment now.
Had a good turnout for the Holiday party as always. Everyone had a good time and Greysolon Plaza \ Blackwoods did a wonderful job hosting the event. Thanks Jax Eisenmann for the party planning. NCBA Associate Members donated some great prizes as well as $50 and $100 bills. There were 2 grand prizes, 4 tickets to a Twins game donated by Johnsons Supply and won by Todd Paulson, and the NCBA popped for a flat screen TV that Barb Maki won.
NCBA holiday time donations this year went to Duluth Courage Center $250, 2nd Harvest Food Shelf $250, NW Community Services (food shelf in Superior) $250 and ALS $250.

Holiday Party Greysolon Plaza Moorish Room
The January 20 holiday party is for all paid 2011 members. I sent out a fax today 1/10/12 as a invitation and reminder to RSVP to Jody at Uncle Dunbars ASAP 218-722-1050. Social hour starts at 6, dinner to follow, and the evenings entertainment will be a professional magician.
The board decided to skip the January General Meeting due to the fact we would have an opportunity to go over anything when we're all together for the Holiday Party.
