Business: Wine Competition 2012
o There were five judges who
judged the wine on 8/15/12 at Eola Hills. The competition started at 10:00 a.m.
and ended by 3:30 p.m. Jan, Susan, Terry, Ivan, Russ, Gary and Chris C. assisted
with the competition. Susan shared that she saw one of the judges after the
competition who told her that it was the most well run contest he has ever see.
o Thank you cards for the judges
were passed around for the members to sign.
o Expenses for the competition=$182.
o We still have to get gift cards
for the judges. Last year we gave $30
gift cards to the judges. Steve said he liked Roadhouse Grill. If we give five $30 gift cards, this equals
$150. A motion was made and passed by the members to give each judge a $30 gift
card to the Roadhouse Grill. Gary will
get the gift cards.

- The deadline to turn in

will review student requests for assistance and decide who receives the
scholarship funds.

his role as the Vice President.
- New Business: Chad Collins
- Dean shared that Chad,
who worked with us in 2007 or 2008, e-mailed Dean and asked him to help
him start a club with press releases. He had his club going and started a
wine competition too. Dean asked for his list of mailings and Chad asked
for our mailing list from the wine contest. We got his list. Dean found
an e-mail and wondered if we sent him our list. Gary remembered working on the list. We
aren’t sure if a list was sent to Chad, and he needs to be contacted to
find out if he received it. Gary will ask Kim for the list, and find out
from Chad if he received the old list or received an updated list.
- New Business: Visitor from
California
- A month ago, someone from
California wanted to visit with someone from the club. Ed and Susan met
with Don and Carol Hazelton. Don

road trip and go to a wine-making area and check out wineries. Ed and
Susan met with them and talked for an hour. They spent several days in
the Willamette Valley.
