The meeting was held at the Methodist Church in Pinopolis, and called to order at 10:30 AM.  Those in attendance were Dick Deibel, Darryl Beech, Julie Beech, Jim Reaves, Mike Grosso, Harry Cramer, Bob Lane, Mike Gregory, Kerry Vickers, Ute Reeves, Thomas Reeves, George Camp, Danny Burnstein, Ed Beech, Geri Beech, Heidi Lantin, and Ron Neal.

President Dick Deibel welcomed the group and turned the meeting over to Mike Grosso to run through the agenda.

First item was the newsletter. Each printed newsletter costs about $1 to copy and mail.  As of February, the club will stop mailing hard copies to those with Internet access, since the newsletter is available on the website.  Those who want hard copies can still get them.  The need for newsletter contributions was discussed, and several suggestions were made.

The calendar for 2001 was tentatively set. Meetings will be combined with social events whenever possible. This allows more social time, less business. The meeting schedule will be further discussed at the overnighter in June. Regional gatherings were OK’d in addition to full club events. Darryl Beech will look at setting up phone trees to keep members informed and involved.

Next on the agenda was membership. An attempt will be made to get a current mailing list from the Jaguar dealers. The list will be used to contact potential members. The officers were instructed to give an award to the dealers for their support of the JSSC . It was decided a membership drive would begin in June, to insure full participation in fall events.

Darryl Beech, acting as website coordinator, was OK’d to give and receive links to the website at his discretion, provided no money to is change hands.

Name tags are available to all members at a cost of $6 each. They will be supplied for officers.

Lunch break.

A treasurer’s report was given, and equipment purchases were discussed. George Camp has ordered 3 helmets (S,M,L) for the club for slalom purposes. The officers were instructed to purchase an enclosed trailer, about 6X10 or 6X12 in size. This will be for club use only, for storage of club items (tent,tables,chairs,etc.) so that all club items can be kept in one place. The club will buy several long tables, and a few chairs. It was decided not to buy a PA system at this time.  Software was OK’d as needed for the website. It will be registered to the club. There will be a report in June on regalia and the possibility of buying some for the club.

The by-laws were revised and summarized by those present.  They will be put forth for approval at the April concours in Columbia.  Dick Deibel will register the name JSSC with the secretary of state. George Camp will ask accountant and member Dennis Dabney about registering as a non-profit corporation.

Darryl Beech resigned as Lowcountry vice-president, to take over as Membership Director, from Don Pothier who has resigned the position. Bob Faulkner also resigned from the upstate vice-president’s position due to illness. The officers appointed Kerry Vickers as lowcountry VP, and Danny Burnstein as upstate VP, to fill the rest of the two year term of each officer’s position.

The meeting was closed at 3:00 PM by President Dick Deibel.

Respectfully submitted,
Julie Beech, Secretary, JSSC
