*Greetings,*
*Last night, your elected 2016 POCA BOD conducted its first meeting, on
Monday, the previous night, The Cleveland Block (Chapter Presidents) also
had a teleconference.*
*Thanks to all participants for taking the time to offer suggestions and to
everyone for your service to the club and its members.*
*After a brief roll call, we had officer reports for *
*2. Secretary's Report/Approve Minutes3. Membership Director's Report with
Membership Totals by Chapter4. Treasurers Report/ Full Financial
Disclosures5. Newsletter Report6. Profiles Report7. Advertising/PR Report8.
The Cleveland Block Report by Michael*
*There was no OLD business outstanding and we moved on to new business.*
A. *PASSED *Institute a "Detomaso Hall of Fame" Such designation comes
with a Free Lifetime POCA Membership with Specialized
member numbers beginning at 10,001 on a metal engraved membership card and
a Trophy Quality Plaque. Limited thereafter to 3 inductees
per year decided upon at the December BOD meeting from Nominations
submitted at the November BOD meeting.
We will roll the following people into the new program which will have a
dedicatied page on the website. They are.
*2001- Alessandro & Isobella DeTomaso, founders of the marque*
*2002- Gary Hall, vendor and innovator*
*2003- Joe Moore, racer & POCA President '98 & instigator of 1st POCA
Bylaws revision*
*2004- Mats Gorski, President of DeTomaso Svenska & organizer of 1st & 2nd
Modena Factory Visits*
*2005- Tom Tjaarda, designer of the Pantera body & interior, and all-around
good guy*
*2006- Les Gray, five-time POCA President*
*2009- Ted Mitchell, POCA's first Tech Editor, continued as such many times
over the decades*
*2010- Kent and Sandi Snyder, founders of the Fun Rally & organizers of it
for 20 years*
*2012- Larry Stock, vendor, innovator and Silver State ORR supporter for
multiple years*
*2015- Gian Paolo Dallara, chassis designer of the DeTomaso Pantera.*
B.* FAILED* Establish a POCA Memorial fund for Vested Members and their
Spouses.
1) Must be a current POCA member at the time of death.
2) 1-5 years $50 arrangement
3) 6-10 years $100 arrangement.
4) 10+ years $150 arrangement.
If the avg age of a POCA member is 60 years old. The odds of dying at 60 on
average are .0065 x 830 members = 5.3 per year. 830 members × .75 = $622.
Thus we set aside .75 cents per member per year into a memorial account
fund.
Owning a Pantera for many of us is not just another car, it is part of a
lifestyle. Lots of my friends are fellow car people, my Pantera and other
cars are my ticket into events, to shows, to charity functions and all of
those lead to other contacts, friends, new business contacts and in the
noted case of Mike Drew, marriage.The least we can do is stand by our
members, those who supported us, on their last ride anywhere.
D. *PASSED* New Website Presentation
By Michael and a Guest Vendor Presenter (more information to follow before
BOD meeting for your review).
Lots of information to come, suffice it to say that POCA will be entering a
new era on the internet and meet and/or surpass 95% of all car club sites,
member services will increase exponentially. More to come.

Concours I have convinced them to Set up a Special Presentation at the 2016
event for a Detomaso Showcase whereupon we shall coordination one dozen
representative cars. Tom Tjaarda will be invited to judge and remain a
Special Guest Judge on Sunday. This is an exciting opportunity for us to
have a major impact in the third most prestigous Concours event in the US.
I have also arranged for Clive Cussler to be a guest with several of his
cars and to receive the Pinnacle Award.
The concours committee will provide hotel accomodations for Tom and his
wife at no charge in a luxury hotel. I am requesting that POCA provide
Airfare. This is a HUGE PR opportunity for us to be seen in a rareified
and elevated crowd of auto enthusists with National and Intl Press
Coverage. Tom will be 81 by then, we need to do this while we can.

U. *Removed from Consideration* Charity Efforts
Those who follow my facebook page know that I and my local car club are the
leading single provider of toys for our multi state region's Toys
For Tots yearly toy drive in association with the US Marine Corps. We
provided over 1,000 toys this year out of 40,000 collected. I would like to
see POCA as a National club and all of the Chapters join us in holding toy
drive events across the nation. Collectively we could at 10 toys per
member, provide some 8K to 10K children with a present next Christmas.
This can be done with boxes at member places of employment, friend's retail
business locations and at club sponsored car shows/cars and coffee events.
Therefore the motion will be to designate Toys for Tots as a national POCA
charity effort.
