Finally, thanks given to Mark Crane, the RB’s Canvention liaison, who made sure we got forms in on time, wrangled down the price of pizza and beer, and has kept our ducks in a row for years now.
Thanks to the BCCA for another successful year and Canvention.

The site continues to attract 145 members each day; 381 RB members are website members. Upcoming shows include the Halloween Spooktacular on October 29 and the Holiday Show on December 18.
The second can, an Oertel’s 92 crowntainer, was won by Regan Fanning.
Canvention Announcements:

Awards: The Lucky Dumper Award goes to Dale Bramlette, Bill Lindstrom, and Ed Scoglietti, for their Finer Flaver Ale find.
The Unlucky Dumper Award goes to Dwight Barbacci for getting caught on a game camera wearing his Rusty Bunch colors, which brought down the law, as they say back east.
Hall of Fame Awardee Roy Nelson was recognized. He remembered Hal Noehren as well, a good friend who taught him a great deal about dumping. “Man, we dug some ****,” said Roy.
New business: Keith Kerschner offered a proposal: The RB will award a free year of membership to anyone who refers a new member to the organization. Proposal passed on voice vote.
A new RB member, Harold Sugarman, thanked Ed Scoglietti for his Facebook posts about collecting and dumping and credited Ed for bringing him back to collecting.
Josh Goldstein won the impromptu hearing for Jim Romine’s cooler.
Philip Stayman spoke on behalf of Rich Richard for Hall of Fame consideration.

As others have mentioned, thanks for getting chapter minutes online so quickly. Love how this chapter utilizes standard technologies for sharing of information with members. So much power with website, message board, Facebook, live videos etc, one spot to share with everyone.

One spot to rule them all. One spot to find them,
One spot to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

Re: Canvention Meeting 2016 minutes.
Thanks Keith & CMD for stepping up and serving the chapter! (Dan, 3rd or 4th time?) I have been there and it's a lot of work. The e-mails & p.m.'s, the phone calls at anytime, about things good, and things silly & trifle. About monitoring and moderating the site. Making decisions. Contacting sponsors to advertise for cans. All the planning, buying, building, securing, bringing, working, etc., that is involved for Spring Thaw & Canvention to make it a success! Also thanks Danny, Chris, Bill, Jim, Steve & Barry for your time to make this the great chapter that it is!

Re: Canvention Meeting 2016 minutes.
Ditto to everything Greg said. This chapter requires a lot of work and I am sure most of us do not begin to realize how much goes into this behind the scenes.
Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

Re: Canvention Meeting 2016 minutes.
No, no, no. It's quite easy and fun, that's why we should have a multitude of canidates for VP and Prez next year, with us actually having to vote at the meeting ! (Sorry I was talking in my sleep, had a dream about the 1990's)

Thanks Bill for the very timely notes about the chapter meeting. And thanks to Keith and all the other officers, past and present, who have made this chapter what it is today.
