The meeting was called to order by President Skip Kelley at 7:35 pm at the Sun City MacDonald Ranch. There were 70 members and 8 guests present. Skip welcomed all in attendance.

Findlay Chevrolet: Slim Stephens invited everyone to celebrate the 65th Anniversary of the Corvette at the dealership on June 30th. He thanked us for our patronage and said to call him at 702-266-0197 if you need anything.

Animal Foundation: Julie Cantonwine introduced Chris from the Animal Foundation who noted that the organization was founded 40 years ago and in 1995 took over all of Las Vegas. They are responsible for taking in all stray animals, and they have low/no cost vaccinations. They have a KEPT program (keeping every person and pet together) that helps people who may be having financial or housing issues affecting their ability to keep their pets. Their Community Cats program spays and neuters feral cats, and they have teamed up with Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah to move toward being a no-kill shelter. Pets for Life is a spay/neuter program for low cost communities, which includes a wellness exam. Last year over 500 surgeries were scheduled through this program, which greatly reduces the pet overpopulation problem. Their foster program helps to control capacity at the shelter, and last year they had 400 families who fostered over 1,400 animals. They have broken ground on their new $35 million facility, which will be finished in September 2019. They always need volunteers, and both monetary and supplies donations are always appreciated. Chris appreciated how much LVCA had donated that evening, and Lin Hoernke and Karen Dominguez were recognized for making 35 dog beds!

A motion to approve the May 10, 2018 meeting minutes - Kathy Clapp made a motion to approve as presented and Carl Corbett seconded. The motion carried and was approved.

Birthdays for June were read by Lin Hoernke.

President's Report: Skip noted that a three-year extension will be signed soon for our meeting venue. The Team Tower is growing with a variety of names, and everyone is encouraged to help with an event. The Website is up to date and Facebook is a good source for spontaneous combustion events. Garage Gang and a Drive-in Movie night will be scheduled in the near future. The racing program and garage gangs separate us from strictly social Corvette clubs. Skip encouraged everyone to bring cool things for the Toy Table. Linda Simpson has resigned as the Publicity Chairperson and Skip will entertain anyone who would like to fill the position.

Treasurer's Report: Connie Gentry noted that the balance sheet is in the red, but it will balance soon.

Old Business: None.

New Business: New Members and Guests were read by Julie Cantonwine. Guests this evening are: Lloyd and Karen Dominguez, Sherrie and Darryl Threatt, Jeff and Cindy Smith, Paul Williams, and Mikko Melander. Julie will be stepping down at the end of the year as the membership chairperson, and she asked anyone who is interested to talk to her so she can train them over the next few months. By-Laws Committee - Carl Hastings is the committee chairperson, and Skip would like at least five people to be on the committee. Roy Hoernke and Larry Duis volunteered. 45th Anniversary - Kathy Clapp explained the merchandise available and the order form. She noted that anyone who has not received their pin should let her know.

Committee Reports: Sunshine - Scarla Burkett mentioned that Jan Tucker is moving to New Orleans. Pat Russell's Mother passed away, and Sally McVane was recently hospitalized with a leg problem. Linda Simpson may have an auto immune disorder, and she will be having knee surgery soon. Racer's Edge - Lanny Lowman noted that the Nevada Open Road Challenge was successful mainly due to LVCA. Lanny won a NORC trophy, Connie Gentry won a drag racing trophy, and Larry Creighton also won a trophy. The next Racer's Edge event will be in September. The Storekeepers, John and Jan Kindell, noted they have a new red, white and blue hat, as well as a $35 lightweight shirt that is a "limited edition" (a mistake was made with the order). They also have travel mugs for only $10.

Upcoming Events: Lin Hoernke noted that there is still room if you want to go to the Duck Creek, Utah Car Show on June 16th. You may register at the event, and Carol and Frank Gagliardi will have dinner at their cabin after the show. Car Show at Eastern - John Kindell noted the next one is on June 23rd. It fills up so you should arrive at 7:00 am, and the event is over by 10:00 am. Denise Karpa presented the Vegas Cakes Viewing Party to be held at her house on June 23rd at 2:00 pm. The show is airing at 2:30, and everyone should bring their favorite beverage and snack. Skip presented the 65th Anniversary of the Corvette gathering at Findlay on June 30th from 9:00 to 11:00 am. Other Corvette clubs will be invited, and it is a display only-not a show with trophies. Skip invited everyone to his and Brenda's house on July 4th at 6:30 pm. He will supply hamburgers and hot dogs. Everyone is asked to bring a side dish and drinks. His house has a great view of the entire valley. The next Cars and Coffee will be held on July 7th at Speed Vegas, and Cindy Smith will co-chair the event. Denise K. presented going as a club to Spring Mt. Ranch State Park to see the play "She Loves Me" on July 14th. The tickets are $15 and can be ordered online. Garage Gang will be held at Findlay on July 28th where they will show us around the garage. Skip noted that Jerry Cline is inviting the club to his Comedy Improve Show on August 18th at 7:00 pm. The cost is only $7, and we will go to the Sierra Gold afterward for food/drinks. Connie G. presented the annual Mt. Charleston Luncheon to be held on August 25th. It will be a community service event to benefit the Mt. Charleston Fire Department. Barb Belak noted that there are cards on the tables with information for anyone interested in volunteering for the September Nevada Open Road Challenge.

Miscellaneous Announcements: Mike Borders made a plaque for Barb Belak noting her reference to setting up the "chicanery" (the use of trickery to achieve a purpose) versus the "chicane" (which is a serpentine curve in the road). Jan Tucker is selling her car. Skip noted his Mom is doing okay since her car jacking. He invited everyone to Jean on Saturday at 7:00 to listen to music. Scott Mergele is selling his C-7 Z06, which has 11,000 miles.
