When: April 13, 2017, 2017

Where: Old McDonald Fish Camp, North Augusta, SC

Who: David and Ellie Brock, Brian and Donna Bogardus, John and Teri Bozzarello, Mike and Shirley Dyer, Larry and Rita Garner, John Haff, Dennis and Karol Mason, Daryl Shipman and Sherry Moore, Bob and Pat Tarrant, Tom Varallo, Rudy and Patti Wilmoth, Ralf and Annie Wilms, and Dave and Sue Woomer.

Old McDonald Fish Camp was a rustic, family owned restaurant that serves all types of fish, shrimp, and some unusual options like Gator, and some excellent Grits and Hush Puppies. All very good!

Treasurer’s Report: Started at $1540.74, with no additions, nor subtractions.

• Brian found an old Invoice for static cling Master’s Miata stickers (the ones that keep their colors), so a vote was taken to approve spending money from the treasury to purchase 100 clings. 13 votes to approve.
• John Haff mentioned that Ms. Anita Wylds, who is a Master’s Miata founding member, is still in serious condition in the burn unit at Doctors Hospital after a nitrogen leak at Xytex where she worked. All present at this meeting agreed that we should send flowers as soon as she can receive them. John agreed to purchase ($50-$60) and have them sent to her and bill the club.

Ongoing:

• Tom has some business cards with the club website; to give to people who own Miata’s that may be interested in joining. See Tom if you would like some.
• See Dennis for name-tags…..Dennis has or will be making tags for Dick Larson, Don & Cheri Bozzarello.
• Coffee mugs and other items are available from CafePress
• Communigraphics in North Augusta has our logo, for $8 you can have it embroidered on just about anything.

You are welcome to stay the day (also no charge); there will be concessions (to purchase lunch etc), and an evening BBQ (also no charge). All in all, sounds like a wonderful day!
