Vice-President Lyle Nokes, called meeting at 7:00 pm, 30 members were present, including 4 new members. The agenda approved as written.
SECRETARY REPORT: Secretary Vicki Markley read the minutes as printed in the May newsletter. Minutes were approved as written.
TREASURY REPORT: Darren Marweg gave his treasurer’s report. The club is solvent.
VICE PRESIDENT REPORT: Lyle Nokes reported that Friday Nights are going well. He gave special thanks to Joe Henry for his wooden car donations – Kids love them. He reminded everyone that we still need members to tow the trailer.
ACTIVITY REPORT: Friday night cruise-ins start May 4th have been going well.
Swap meet is August 18th, more on that after the car shows.
Tahoma High School will be having their yearly car show at the new high school on Saturday, June 16th from noon to 4 pm. Please try to attend.
Comment from Joe & Fran Henry: We went to the high school and could not find any car show activity there.
The new Sonic restaurant will be open on June 18th at 116th and Kent-Kangley. It could be fun to have a lot of our cars show up.
The Old Big Daddy’s in Auburn will be having a cruise-in on Thursdays, June 21, July 19 and August 16 at 3:30 pm.
SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE: Nancy Atkinson reported that the committee met and interviewed 5 of the 6 applicants at the library and the 6th at the June 1 cruise-in. All seemed very deserving. However, 2 of the applicants are currently getting state or federal assistance (paying their tuition) so the committee is recommending scholarships for 4 applicants and if any member is interested in helping to provide the additional 2 with tools, that would be done “privately.” The committee will meet again on Wednesday, June 13th at 6 pm at Stockton’s in Maple Valley to discuss this further, then make their recommendations to the club at the July meeting. There was a lot of discussion regarding scholarship procedure and what the money pays for. The club voted to approve up to $6,000 to be awarded for scholarships this year.
SUNSHINE REPORT: No report this meeting.
OLD BUSINESS: Membership dues were due by the end of May. If you have not paid your dues, you only have until the end of June to do so. Dues are $25/year/family. Make out check to MVSR and mail to P.O. Box 155, Maple Valley, WA 98038, or bring to Friday Night cruise-in.
NEW BUSINESS:
A reminder of Maple Valley Days, this Saturday, June 9th at Lake Wilderness Park. We have a lot of good raffle items, refreshments, coffee, people setting up, driving In the parade, etc. Looks like everything is ready to go. If you want to meet to help set up, please be at the Maple Valley McDonalds at 5:30 am or at the park at 6 am.
Dave Michalski reported on the Kent Cornucopia Days on July 14th. Flyers have been printed – they look really good – but we need more. We now have access to the Key Bank parking lot which will give us a good space for the trailer and additional 30 or so parking spaces. Linda Robson is in charge of getting raffle donations – sounds like she has some really good ones – but we will need more from members. Please contact Linda if you would like to help her or offer raffle items. Linda’s number is 206-399-0522, or e-mail lindasrobson@yahoo.com. Other than that, things are moving along well for our new show.
APPAREL: Darren Marweg reported that he now has t-shirts on order. He, also, brought the large and small patches for purchase by club members. The cost is $30 for the pair (1 large and 1 small) or $25 for a large and $5 for the small..

The web is: maplevalleystreetrats.com.
