November Meeting Cancellation and Notes from October Meeting

[pa.guitars]

Even though it is considered
blasphemy not to vote in person by some folks, why don’t we just vote by email
for these three gentlemen? 
We can certify the vote at 
such a time that gathering as
a group is safe.

I vote yes to all three candidates.

Presently it looks like we will be getting some rain in the early afternoon so Pres George made an executive decision to cancel the meeting because of the risk of spreading Covid19 at an indoor gathering. Montgomery Co. has reported 1,093 new Covid cases and 7 deaths over the last week. Serious Business. No Meeting!

When we hold our next meeting we can have a vote by acclamation unless another candidate presents themselves. With no opposition that will conclude the election. Until our next meeting David should serve as acting President.

With the Covid cases on the rise Tom does not want to take the chance on having a group of people inside his home for the Christmas gathering. It’s likely to be prohibited by the PA state guidelines if the covid cases continue to rise. Tom has offered to host the party in 2021 instead. We will all be waiting to see when we can gather again.

George had stated in his email that it was time for a new person to step up to serve as Pres. A short discussion was held and Pat Daloisio was nominated. Pat was not present to accept or reject the nomination. David Behnken was nominated for Pres. David accepted the nomination. Nominations were open for Treasurer. Dan Sellers was nominated. Dan accepted for another term. No other nominations were presented. Nominations were opened for Recording Secretary / AMA Legislative Officer. Ken Kopec was nominated for another term. Ken was not present to accept or reject the nomination. A question came up about electing the Road Captain. Pres Geo noted that the Road Captain is appointed by the President and not elected. Nominations were closed.

> Post meeting note. Treasurer Dan contacted Pat Daloisio and Ken Kopec the following day to confirm their acceptance of the nomination. Pat rejected the nomination. Ken accepted the nomination.  That leaves the election with 3 candidates and 3 offices. Election will be held at the next meeting scheduled for November 15 at meeting host Bob Katz’s home. (This meeting has been postponed).

> Member Richard Casey suggested that the club could or should have a vice President. Dan stated the the club Constitution designated only three elected officers. The constitution could be modified using one of the methods under Robert’s Rules of Order. Perhaps the rule could include a lifetime appointment by the person proposing such a change. This will be discussed further at the next meeting.

> The subject of the 2020 DVNR Christmas Party was brought up. Tom Weisel had offered to host the party early this the year. The question was raised regarding the safety of an indoor event with a large crowd. Many Christmas parties get as many as 50 attendees. Bruce questioned the number but I can confirm the head count over several years where there were 50 or more attendees. Of course we would have to see what the Governors rule will be in early December but a majority present had no fear of Covid19 virus. Host Tom Weisel who was not present will have to make the final decision. Post meeting note: No Christmas Party.

> Todd Robertson offered to host the February 2021 meeting at his home in Phillipsburg NJ. Thank you Todd.

> No further busisness was presented and the Pres. Called for a motion to adjourn. The members enjoyed a nice lunch on a great day for a ride. We had a spirited ride home.
