JULY 16, 2011 MEETING AT HIBACHI GRILL 
He wanted to cover a few points before eating. The first subject was the Florida State Meet in 2012. A vote was taken and a positive reply was given. We will Host the Florida State Meet for 2012. After some discussion it was decided to pick the exact month and date at our next meeting. Holidays, Football game schedules and other car exhibits and shows will have a bearing on which month and weekend in October or November we can expect a good turnout. Next, Joel Daniel presented an impressive Hotel Survey/Tours form listing at least 5 locations he and Ken Lawson have contacted comparing facilities, amenities and prices. (Joel and Ken are covering all aspects such as; Access to Highways, Room Rates, Pet Friendly, Hospitality Room availability and cost, Banquet facilities, Food Service, Judging area, Parking area, closeness to Malls/Intertainment and more.) No stone left unturned. After a brief explanation the form was passed to members for their review and comments. Other points were covered briefly and will be covered again before finalizing i.e. "T" Shirt design and supplier, Trophy cost and supplier as well as quantity needed. Both Joel and Ken have experience in both areas as past members of our neighboring Chapter in Georgia.

Give Ed and Sue a call at 553-5938-5939 and talk it over. There is a beautiful viewing area and paths in the woods so plan to bring hiking shoes. Ed and Sue do not drink or smoke----now's a good time to quit.
