| The November coin show, dubbed the Fall Show, is cancelled. Moreover, there will not be an October club meeting of the Crescent City Coin Club. An emergency Board Meeting was held on 10/7/2005 via teleconference. The discussions during that meeting are summarized below: 1) Fall Coin Show General consensus was to cancel the November coin show. Bob Eddy, President and Show Chairman, will contact the dealers and let them know. He will also send refunds to all who have made deposits. Linda Eddy, Corresponding Secretary, will get a general notice out to all on the mailing list (not sure how good the mailing list is at this time, since many people are spread-out around the country).
2) General Club Meetings It was decided not to have a meeting in October; consensus was there is probably not enough members in town or have more pressing matters this month. There was some damage to VFW Hall which will have to be repaired before we can have a meeting. Every effort will be made to hold a meeting in November.
3) Christmas Dinner The restaurant that was scheduled for the dinner (La Cuisine) was severely flooded. Our reservation has been transferred to Johnny Trauth's Seafood Bistro in Kenner for the Christmas Dinner. More info on menu and cost to come.
4) Elections This issue is still unresolved. Two proposals are on the table and will be presented to the membership at the November meeting: 4a) Postpone elections until after January 2006. 4b) Carry-over the existing Officers and Board of Governors through 2006 and hold normal elections in November 2006.
