There will be an article about this in the July PR newsletter. Vince mentioned that he has received a request from Radio One for the use of 1960s-70s Cadillacs for the movie premiere of Talk to Me. This latter announcement prompted general discussion about the use of members’ cars for commercial and private interests. SECRETARY’S REPORT: The Minutes from the May meeting were not read since they had been published and distributed to all members in the June, 2007 newsletter. TREASURER’S REPORT: The Treasurer’s Report covered the time period from the April meeting to date. Harry Scott reported that the Region’s income was $80.21. The total expenses for the same time period were $912.49. The checking account balance as of the meeting was $3,926.22 and the Certificate of Deposit principal was $5,345.75. Harry informed everyone that the new order of Grille Badges has been received and he distributed a sample. MEMBERSHIP REPORT: Richard Sisson reported that the membership is at 188. Efforts will continue to recruit members at local area car events this summer. WEBSITE REPORT: Vince distributed a report illustrating the activity on the PR website for June 1-15. In that period of time, the website averaged 1,797 hits per day. Of all the individual pages and/or documents posted, the June newsletter has been viewed the most often -- 473 hits. Interestingly, the November 2006 issue featuring the Eldorado Extravaganza: 1953- 1966 was viewed 146 times. At least 15% of the overall hits are from outside the U.S. One new commercial ad has been added and one has expired. Lastly, the most recent ad placed for cars for sale, the late Americo Oliveira’s collection, resulted in a sale in one day. ACTIVITIES REPORT: • Summer Picnic, Aug 26, J.
