- Organizational Issue - Hrant briefly addressed his concerns in
the e-mail that was sent out noting that the feuding ought to stop
but tabled more detailed discussion for the benefit of the
newcomers.
- Other: Several issues were discussed
(a) Servicing the NSX: In response to questions regarding timing
belt service, Hrant responded the services available at Niello
Acura, and Driving Ambitions. NSXCA membership and discounts were
discussed and the newcomers were invited to join the NSXCA
(b) Hrant noted that the Board has sent out e-mails and mailers
for members to vote for Board officers. A discussion ensued
regarding how Board members were allocated as well as how members
can serve on local chapters/regions. Hrant invited anyone who wanted
to serve to say so and jump in.
(d) Hrant also explained for what purposes the chapter funds
could be used and spent on. As long as the funds were spent to
benefit club member activities - even a club member with the
approval of the majority attending the meetings - there were no
restrictions. Group buys, too purchases and charity donations were
noted.
(e) Hrant noted that he would most likely purchase another club
radio for club use if the price was in the range of $60 - just as
the one purchased from Jeff Hiroshima, previous club member. He also
noted the group buy currently organized on prime by Dave for
chatterbox for $102. These are much more durable than the old Nadi.
He will most likely order one or two since the ones the club has are
starting to fail and having one in reserve is helpful.
(f) Questions from Al
1. Al noted that the club was failing to have minutes posted
on the web and wanted to know when Tom, in his capacity as the club
Secretary, was going to post them. Hrant noted that Tom was on
vacation. This led to a discussion of the web and its content. Both
Steve and Karl were interested in seeing the web updated.
2. Al wanted to know if the chapter was still trying to
recruit members from outside the immediate zip codes of Sacramento,
if Tom had contacted the national treasury Ken Sax to receive the $5
annual funds. Hrant noted that Tom was on vacation and did not know
if such communication had occurred with the Board or Ken Sax. Hrant
also noted that it might be time to reconsider the chapter's name as
we were drawing from a 60 mile spread.
3. Al wanted to know if the club purchased the
radiator pressure/leak tester. Hrant noted that only Al had posted
on the list with an interest and thus no further action was taken
[and Al was correct, Jason from Antelope had posted that he had
already purchased one]. Steve noted that he had one as well, and
Shad noted the tool was not particularly helpful for an NSX so it
wasn't worth it.
4. I believe there was a 4th question also but can't
remember
Next meeting: Tuesday, October 24 at Athenian -
Greek Restaurant in Fairfield. Joesph will give more details.
Adjourn - Meeting was adjourned about 9:00 PM.
