Sponsor Update:  We are current and appreciate our sponsor, Gunderson Chev.  THANK YOU GUNDERSON CHEVROLET!!!

Repair List/Tech Issues:  One member had a clutch issue with his C7.  He did some dealer shopping before he talked to a technician who knew what to do. Lesson: it pays to do some shopping around to be sure dealership technicians are competent to work on our complex machines.  They are a specialty vehicle and not every mechanic should be working on them!

Insurance Safety Committee: As a result of the Club approving purchase of a Liability Insurance Policy, an ad hoc committee of Larry Schaefer, Bruce Parezek and Jack Halbleib was tasked with developing a Safety Policy for Club adoption as well as informational pieces that can be shared with members/guests who are participating in parades, rides or other Club events. Larry outlined the general coverages and exemptions/prohibitions.  Jack briefly reviewed the various documents which will be posted online with Club Minutes for review/discussion and possible action at our next meeting.  Our By-Laws call for these items to be available for 30 days.  Our next meeting will be in 29 days and the Club can decide to suspend action for another month or waive the requirement and potentially take action on September 9.

Action:  Review the attached documents.  Come prepared with questions or suggestions.

Non-profit Status:  Jack reported that he talked to Pete Klug and will follow up with Pete to determine what additional action may be required to get our Annual Filings current.  Pat Snyder is also working with Jack on this.

Recent Car Shows:  The Keyes All Corvette show on Aug 8 had a record 104 Corvettes and raised over $10,000 for charity.  Several CVCC Members attended.  St James Aug 9 had 12 Club Cars present and they had 75 vehicles despite "iffy" weather throughout the day.  Kelly Roberts reported that the Saturday Night Eau Claire Street Cruisers had 150 cars at their recent show.

Sunshine Committee- Member Jim Weber and Larry Tomter's wife Linda passed away recently. Per Club practice Tom Rohrer will work on getting a brick at the Museum in Linda's memory as well as for Jim Weber.  Warren has had a rough stretch, present tonight to give his report.  He thanked Doug Skapyak for filling in with cards etc, during his absence.  Warren thanked the Club for prayers and support.  Motion to proceed with getting Museum Bricks in memory of Linda Tomter and Jim Weber (Tom R to follow up) on MOTION by Tom Rohrer/Steve Coach: CARRIED
