President's Report:
· Window stickers - still awaiting quotes from current supplier, may have something at the Holiday Party. Sign Pro - South Lincoln, $1.20 each with a $25-30 set up fee.
· Holiday Party will be November 18 at the Waverly VFW. The club will provide the turkey and ham, members to bring pot luck side dishes.
· Toys for Tots, new unwrapped toys were contributed during this meeting. Members can still bring toys to the Holiday Party in November.
· Membership roster will be updated with spouse names and will add occupations (this part is optional for each member). Rich will send out emails on this.
· Lancaster County Planning Board meeting on drag strip: has less than a 50% chance of approval. Noise standards were set at a totally unattainable level, lower decibels than conversation. Members can send emails in support of this project to the Planning Board and county officals. For more information see Nebraska Motorplex Website: www.nemotorplex.com
· Recap of 2006: Started with a Super Bowl Party in February. Trips to KC & Nashville for members attending Chevellabration and the Midwest Regional. Last months meeting with a cook out at Platte Valley State Park.
· Future possible projects could be shop tours, powder coating vendor tour, cruises/picnics. If anyone has any ideas bring it up at meetings or email ideas to one of the club officers.

Election: Jim Clarey declined the Vice President's nomination. The remaining candidates were unopposed, no election was necessary. The following will be the club officers for 2007:
President Bob Von Kaenel
Vice President Greg Hansen
Treasurer Cathy Von Kaenel
Secretary Doug Kass

New topics:
· Rich has received a letter from the State on the assembled vehicles law that was passed by the last legislature. This letter asked if anyone would be interested in registering as an "expert" for determining the titling of assembled vehicles (expertise would be on Chevelles and standards would be set by the State).
· A motion was made and seconded to donate $100 each to the Omaha and Lincoln Food Banks. The motion was passed. The Treasurer will send the checks.
· A motion was made and seconded to send a Thank You to Dillion Brothers Harley-Davidson for the use of their facilities. The motion passed. The Secretary will send a thank you.
