Election of officers for 2010:
The current president, first and second vice presidents, and treasurer were nominated in October
to continue in those positions for 2010. Dick Fritz will serve as acting secretary. It was moved
and seconded that the current officers be retained. The motion passed by acclamation.
Newsletter: The officers have been discussing a proposal by Greg Akiyama that he publish on
the internet a newsletter with input from OCCC. When Greg can attend a meeting, the proposal
will be presented to the council.
2010 Swap Meet: Dates for the 2010 meet at Adams County Fairgrounds are set as 21-22
August. Move-in is on the 21st, and the meet is open on the 22nd. The cost of renting the
Exhibition Hall for indoor vendors was discussed; this 20,000 sq ft building costs $1900 to rent,
but the Al Lessor building with 8,000 sq ft. would probably accommodate vendors at less cost.
Of course, weather becomes a factor. The need to concentrate vendors to improve traffic flow
was pointed out. Any relocations need to recognize that horse events could take precedence.
Mustang Club Raffle: Clif Allbrandt of the Early Mustang Club discussed their raffle of a
restored 1969 Mustang to benefit the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund (dependents of
military personnel). The Mustang will be awarded at 3 pm on November 29 at the Rod &
Custom Show.
Rod & Custom Show at the National Western Complex, Nov. 27 – 29: Dick Thompson
reported that the OCCC will have a display of 11 vehicles at the show, representing the variety of
clubs and interests in the council. This is a great opportunity to promote our clubs and our
legislative efforts. As usual, Dick could use volunteers to staff the display.
RAQC Scrap Vehicles: Keith Hall read a list of the latest vehicles that have been turned in
through the high pollution monitoring program.
NSRA Calendar: Dick Thompson attended the scheduling meeting of the local National Street
Road Association, to promote the OCCC and to see that the dates of the Havana and Colfax
Cruises and the Swap Meet are on their calendar. There will be cooperative events with NSRA
in 2010.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:07 pm. Next meeting: December 2nd at the Forney Museum.
Respectfully submitted,
Richard B. Fritz, Acting Secretary
