• Raise of hands vote for an emergency December meeting in order to take nominations and possibly finalize the sizzling 4 rules and SLM rules packages.

A pluthera of  hands raised; rather than counting each hand, we asked if there were any members against a December meeting and no hands were raised.

(we will have a short meeting in December mainly for extra nominations on Monday, December 19^th and accept write ins and vote in the new VP at the January meeting

• We need a railing and stairs for the containers for the new spotters stand. Farmer suggested putting 10 inch concrete blocks under them if we wanted to lift them higher. It will be mandatory to have a spotter up there. It was suggested we sell advertising space on the side of the container we bought.

• Meeting with W.I.R. over the next 2 months to discuss the 2023 contract.

• Jerry Auby (Dells Raceway Park) was thinking of adding in SLM more often in 2023…

• Banquet DATE for the 2023 season likely be being moved from October, 2023 to January 24^th, 2024 at Colonial House. We would like to discuss it further over the next couple months. As of now, it is reserved for that date but can be changed, but we should keep the pay in the year of the season, not the following year. We could pay through direct deposit before the end of the year for the 1099’s to be in the correct year they were paid out in.

• Future Meetings location: Possibly the Roundabout Bar. It would cost $75 per meeting. Raise of hands to change the meetings: Nobody raised hands. Meetings will remain at the Colonial House for now.
