Classic Thunderbird Club International

Greetings,
We recently returned from the CTCI Board meeting, the new officers are:
President - Sue Smith
VP - Scott McGilvray
Secretary - John Sailors
Treasurer - Jim Hack

Tulsa was granted a Regional for July 2-5, 2009. At present that is the only Regional in 2009. I was able to get a resolution passed that each host club would receive $500.00 for a Regional or International Convention. $500.00 will be given to the Portland club for the International Convention they are hosting this summer. The registration form is online.

Also, $200.00 worth of CTCI merchandise for a Regional and $300.00 for an International event will be donated to the host club. $350.00 will be allotted to the host club to rent a computer, projector, podium, etc for judges training.

The roster will be published in even years with an addendum published in odd years. You will have the option of listing one phone number, email address and spouse name.

The McPherson Endowment failed and the money will be used to add colored pages to the EB. This will be spent over many years for everyone to enjoy.

CTCI gave a $1,000.00 donation to McPherson College in the honor of "48 in O8." There are five T-Birds that will drive the entire route of "48 in O8." Lucy and her group are anxious to attend "Birds in the Dells.

The By-Law Amendment about "to put wording in about email voting" passed. I will be sending the meeting synopsis when I receive it.

Thanks for your time.
