From Our President…
Did someone say September? Horsepower at the Zoo; Bonfire, Hayride and Pot Luck at Randy and Carol’s place; Color Tours (oops, that’s October). Where did our summer go? Okay. I won’t give up on it yet, as I sit here in 86 degree humididitidy and type this. That will be about the only thing I won’t miss when summer wanes – the crazy heat. We are looking forward to some cool, top off, evening drives, without the air conditioner running. Here’s to a long and glorious fall.
We had a GREAT garage sale, with over eight hundred dollars collected and deposited into the John Bechtel Memorial Scholarship Fund. And we were able to clean out a lot of garages and basements, while helping out the Salvation Army with the leftovers. Kudos to Sandy and Scott for a great job putting it all together, and especially to Steve Spinrad for letting us use his business facility. This could become an annual happening.
One nice thing about this club is our events continue on into the snow storms of winter. We have a lot of fun still coming, like BINGO at the Tamarac retirement center in Holt in November, our holiday season party in December and of course our annual Winterfest after the first of the year. I’m sure there are other things in the works to keep us going until spring arrives again. If you can think of something fun for us to do after the cars are tucked away, do it! Everyone will pitch in and help – really!
I read somewhere where most large clubs see only about a twenty five or thirty percent membership participation rate on a regular basis, and consider that good. I am so pleased to report our first Wednesday of the month Membership Meetings have been drawing between forty and fifty percent of the membership, plus some visitors (future members?) to boot. I’m sure it is the good food and friends that are the draw, and not my business portion of the meetings. Our other events have also attracted quite a few members. All and all, we have had a good showing this year. You all must be doing something right.
Drive fun and safe. Save the Wave!!
Craig
