  4. HOF Expectations/Yearbook – Yearbooks have been ordered, however, two Board members expressed frustration with them being ordered two weeks behind schedule. Yearbooks didn’t used to be ready until the banquet in the fall, even as recently as 2015-ish. Requested that the Club does a better job communicating their expectations of the HOF. Expectation set that the yearbooks be out by the end of May; however, many factors play a role in accomplishing that (volunteers to cover Racenight duties, rain out nights, drivers’ class rotation & some classes of cars unavailable). 
  5. Question raised of whether the Board of Directors are currently bonded per by-laws. It was determined we are not currently bonded. Will research and obtain bonds.
