ELECTION OF OFFICERS FOR 2009
In last month’s Planchet, the President asked for members to “step up” and run for an office.
Be careful what you ask for, Mark!! (Ha! That was an attempt at humor.)
Whatever Mark did, it worked! We will have a “real” election at our November 24 meeting!
The election will be run by the Secretary, as a member of the Nominating Committee, since
the President is running for office.
Yes! That is right, there is someone else running for President! Matt Dinger said to include
him on the ballot! So we will have an election for President, as well as the Board of Directors!
Since Don King has one more year in his term on the Board, his seat will be vacant next year.
The Sgt-at-Arms will rule on how to elect (or appoint) his replacement, and how many members of the Board we will be allowed to vote for in the election.
Each candidate will be given up to three minutes to speak to the members at the meeting.
Those running for office requiring a vote are:President - (vote for only one)Mark Eberhardt
Matt Dinger
Board of Directors – (vote for only three – or four?)Bob Bettcher
Jim Held
Dave ReidPaul Griffin

October 27, 2008 - Minutes of the Indianapolis Coin Club Meeting.
Open - The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM by President Mark Eberhardt. 28
people signed the attendance book. We met at the Northside Knights of Columbus
Hall, 2100 E. 71st Street.
Visitors – There were no visitors.
The Treasurer’s report and the Secretary’s report were read and accepted.
Old Business – Mark reminded the members that the ISNA Show would be on Friday,
October 31 and Saturday, November 1. The Secretary reported that fliers advertising
the show were on the front table, and encouraged the members to take one. Mark again
appealed to the members for items to put in the goodie bags for the Show.
New Business –Mark reminded the members that the Club’s election of officers will beat the November meeting, and asked for volunteers for the Board and any other officethat a member wanted to run for. Secretary, Vinton Dove, read the names of those who
were on the slate at that point in time.
The Educational Program – The program for the night was presented by President,
Mark Eberhardt, and was a continuation of the “State of the Hobby” program presentedby Coz Raimondi at the September meeting. The price of Gold had fallen to $736 perounce and Silver and other precious metals were also lower. The difficulty in the market now is that there is no metal available to purchase. Coz had pointed out that fact in
September, but it is painfully obvious to everyone trying to buy at this point in time.
There was a large discussion about the prices and coins available, and Mark summarized by saying “buy the best, rarest coin you can find and afford.”
The 50/50 Drawing was run by Karl Kreck, and Dave Daniel won the prize.
Banquet – After a poll was taken among the members, December 14 was decided on as
the date desired for the Club banquet, and Mark said he would check with the K of C.
The exact date will be decided and reported at the November meeting.
Auction – After the break, Mark ran the Club Auction. Bob Bettcher, Karl Kreck andVinton Dove assisted.
The club adjourned at 8:55 PM.

Vinton Dove, Secretary
