November 2012 General Meeting

  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.
