Old business (continued)

Annual Picnic at the BRIC – Chris is working on finding a new place to hold the picnic at Road America..

Autocross – Mustafa that Case High School in Racine no longer is renting their parking lot for events. Bob Clark is looking for an alternate site.

Trefpunkt Car Show – Brad provided an update on Trefpunkt:

1. Kelly Moss Racing will provide a 911 GTR3 race car for display.
2. Jazz band from the high school will play.
3. An ad was placed in the Journal (statewide).

8. Watertown cable will have a feature about the show, also some radio exposure.

Badger Bimmer Babies – Brad will provide an update at the next board meeting.

New Business:

WEB Site Advertising – Tony Silvia presented a proposal for advertising on the Badger Bimmer's web site. Tony's works for Telegration, Inc. They sell Sprint PCS cellular service and Ameritech internet connections. The basic deal Tony presented was for a referral fee to be paid to the chapter each time a sale is made as a result of the advertising on the web site. We discussed a number of things about the proposal including how the referral process would work and if the payment should be a combination of a flat fee and a referral fee. We deferred action on the proposal until all board members have had a chance to read the proposal and until Clarence can talk to Greg Smith (webmaster) about placement of the add on the web site.

Korman Drive for the Cure – Mustafa announced dates for the drive as 7/18 – Racine, 7/19 – International Autos, 7/20 – Concours. You should be able to signup to drive the cars at www.bmwusa.com. In past years there have been 10 to 15 different current year models to drive for 20 to 30 minutes with no sales person in the car.

Adjournment: Mustafa adjourned the meeting at 8:30. The next meeting will be held on June 8th at Mini's.
