their support either in the form of money or items donated for door prizes, etc. Due to absence of Pete D.,

there was no update/report on the status of club website host.

Old Business:

A. Discussion on how to word a “be careful” note to be made visibly obvious to future attendees of any

Club function at which vehicles are displayed or shown. It will emphasize our club’s policy that safety

of all in attendance is our primary concern. Plan is to implement this policy beginning with this Friday’s

cruise-in at Grayco.

B. Bill and Randy have completed an inventory of existing shirt supply. These were made available for

sale at the conclusion of this meeting, some at reduced prices.

C. Time spent on assigning duties and responsibilities for the upcoming show. Those willing to assist

should be prepared to report early on the morning of the 20^th. Frank Williams made a point of making

participate in the Avon Breast Cancer Walk for Life event to be held in Charlotte, NC on October 20.

New Business:

& cons on both sides, but eventually decided to attempt the November gathering on Friday, Nov. 2 due to

the lot at Grayco being well illuminated once darkness falls. No trophies during the off-season, but will

resume on the first Friday in April 2008.

the end of this month.

SERCC: Randy unable to attend Monday’s meeting, but took the opportunity to introduce the Car Club

Jamboree Committee of Rick Pierce and Rob Hilton. These have the task of soliciting appropriate rides

to fill the 10 slots allowed our club for the Saturday event at the November HHI Concours d’Elegence.

Executive Committee: With attendance so light at last month’s membership meeting, the committee

recognizes the pressing need to recruit sponsors for the October show and stresses that it must be dealt with

at this meeting. Also, Pete continues to try to contact our webhost in order to abandon the present service and

switch to a more reliable source.

Old Business:

A. Discussion on preparations for the Oktoberfest event. Randy reported that he will attend the OVA

meeting this Friday morning and check on various items. He will report to the Exec. Committee on the 25^th

about any concerns which will require attention. Also, Mike Keyserling will get the ball rolling about

supplying a list of potential sponsors by sharing the records of a past show. Barry & Dave offered to get

together and search thru the classified phone directory for likely sponsors. Bill will then make assignments

to members via email asking that each contact approx. 3 or 4 potential business for support.

B. The shirts and hats from the most recent order arrived some time ago and have been distributed. Stan

Ficnerski offered to head up future sales, and has already been in touch with Spectrum regarding best price

breaks and other styles of shirts to be made available.

C. Frank Williams made note of the fact that at the Walterboro cruises, certain members were not present

when the door prizes were awarded and were collected on behalf of those members by others.

Recommendation that in future, anyone attending such an event be present during the short period of time

that door prizes are distributed.

New Business:

A. Considerable discussion about the club’s posture and response to Chief Jeff Dowling’s letter regarding

one member’s display in the Grayco parking lot near the end of last Friday’s Cruise-In. Pete Dickerson

will draft a response which will then be reviewed by the Exec. Committee prior to being sent. It will state

the club’s position of agreeing totally with the Chief’s concern for the safety of the public, including our

intention to make the club’s position on this issue well known to all attendees, including non-members, at

future events. When finalized, the response will be shared with the membership at large via an emailing

including all pertinent data.

B. Jim Kamppi reported being contacted by the Yemassee Shrimp Festival with the invitation to participate

in their annual parade. With memories lingering about last year’s procession being interrupted by two

trains and the high heat/humidity, decided to make this an individuals choice to attend or not. Jim also

received information about the Beaufort Xmas Parade, sponsored by Main St. Beaufort. Randy will

investigate obtaining an adjustment on the individual entry fee in hopes of covering all our rides which

will want to participate by a single, inexpensive amount.

Country Club (Frank Williams took Best of Display and will return for their Aug. cruise-in on the18th), the

first of two “Sunday in the Pines” events benefiting the Charleston “9” (three attended, Rick Pierce took

second place over-all), and the misleading message indicating that the Brunswick event had been cancelled.

postponed monthly cruise-in.

D. Randy reported on the OVA meeting, with reaction to their request to cruise by downtown Port Royal

on the 1^st Friday of the month in support of their promotion of the same name. He pointed out that this is

usually the same day/time slot as our monthly Cruise-in, but would see what could be done to get a few

rides to stop by Paris Ave. for a short time on Sept. 7. Mike K. to assist.

E. Assignment of members to solicit sponsors to underwrite our Oktoberfest show postponed due to

absence of the members tasked to producing a suitable list.

New Business:

A. Regarding a defined cruise-out for August, it was decided to offer members a choice of three, namely,

the ones referred to above in “Upcoming event” (under Activities). These will be posted on the website

calendar and reminders sent via email as each one approaches.

Adjournment:

Due to the proximity of Labor Day, decision made to move the Sept. meeting to Tuesday the 11^th. It will be

held at the British Pub on Cat Island.

Dear Beaufort County Council Members,

An opportunity has popped up to do a Cruise-In here on Hilton Head. It will be Sunday afternoon August 19,

from 1:00 to 5:00PM at the Shops at Sea Pines Center on Lighthouse Road in Sea Pines. The Summer is

pretty slow in the Car World so this might be a nice "break". The Center has plenty of shaded parking,

several restaurants and shops to cool off in as well as a Trolley to Harbortown and South Beach. Trophies

and door prizes will be available. We have worked it out with the Center to get a reimbursement, for Cruise-

In participants that don't live in Sea Pines or HH Plantation. I have attached a flyer for this and I am adding it

to the Council calendar. Also, I have sent it to you all and not the whole Council as parking is somewhat

limited and we need to see how it goes there.

We are using this event to raise money for the Firemen's Fund of Charleston, SC. a Registration "Donation"

will be requested for each car and we will make it easy for the public to donate to this cause as well.

I would appreciate your support in these events which we hope will become more regular in the future.

Bill Schmitt

Randy, thank you for your inquiry about the Edisto Cruisers Car Club. We
do not have a monthly cruise-in, unfortunately. There is a group of folks
who have a cruise-in every fourth Sunday afternoon from 3-6:00 pm at the
IHOP on highway 178. It is usually about 25-30 cars and a pretty good
crowd comes by to look at the cars. We have only been able to go one time.
The person who really heads this up is Vernon Skinner and his phone number
is 803-534-8699. He is a nice guy and would be able to tell you any

information you would need. Sorry you missed our show in Orangeburg...we
had about 92 cars. Not quite as many as last year but it is on Memorial
Day weekend which may not be the best time to have a car show with so many
people going to the lake, beach, mountains, etc. Anyway, we made money
for Make-A-Wish and gave them a check at the show. That's what it is all
about. Let me know if I can help you with anything else. Again, thanks
for your inquiry.
Linda Terry
Secretary, Edisto Cruisers

Beach in the later summer/early fall.

B. With the growth in popularity and attendance at our monthly cruise-ins at Grayco, discussion of the

necessity of utilizing the club’s amplifier and need to use a suitable generator to support same. Also

discussion on how all this increased effort both before and after to remove items from storage, transport, set-

up at the site, break-down afterwards and reload to place back in storage is way much for one person.

Several offers of increased assistance (much appreciated) made and accepted. This item referred back to

Exec. Committee to expand on possible solutions. Richard Davis offered to sponsor the trophies for August

and arrange for a generator to support an amplifier for same event.

C. Shirts and hats now available for re-order. See Kevin Snow.
