President s Message and Comments The Prez Sez Dust em off, and gas em up! Poker Run Here it comes. February means the annual OTHG Poker Run. Held this year at the new Host location; Pavillions Rock and Roll McDonalds. That s right Ronald McDonald has joined forces with us! The event has grown to be a premier event over the years, and you can expect 100 or more cars to attend. Once again we have a very cool event shirt, designed by Mike Rust, which will become the new favorite of many! It s a blast to go across the state and into California and even New Mexico and see people all over in our Poker run T-shirts. It takes a lot of planning and club participation to pull this event off; we get a little better at it each year. The poker run chairpersons and the various teams work hard on this event. Club members (championed by Fred Elston) canvass the valley for vendor donations, and sponsorships. Make sure you show appreciation to those sponsors by doing business with them. Many have been with us from the start. Sign up for a duty assignment and bring in your prize donation(s) if you haven t already done so. We are down from previous years for prize donations. Once again it s your energy and assistance that make it work; we count on all of you to make this a success! Early March is the Yuma show, very popular with OTHG chapters in AZ and Calif. Make sure to wear your Yellow every where you go; we have made quite an impression on the other chapters over the years with our mass yellow entrances for lunch and things. Also make sure you do the parade, it s a blast and the entire town turns out to watch it. Right on the heels of the OTHG poker run/and Yuma is Jim Elgans Copper Country run in Globe/Miami area. Jim does a great job putting this thing together each year and asks for a little help from his friends to manage things on event day. The event is held to support the local Habitat for Humanity organization, a very worthy cause. Talk to Jim and he ll give you something to do. (its nearly painless) Once again this year Brenda and I are sponsoring a Hi-Boy trophy and will be selecting a neat fender-less ride for the award. The club presents one of our coveted OTHG we dig your ride awards at this show each year. Then it s April and time once again for the Good Guys Del Mar pilgrimage Come with us and explore Arizona and parts of California seldom seen when you choose to lead foot it on the freeways and miss out on the less traveled path. Yeah it takes longer, but it s at least 50 times the fun! Join with us on one of these runs and witness first hand the phenomena of starting out with a specific number of cars, and ending up at the planned destination with nearly the same number of cars. (Sometimes more, sometimes less) Hey.Don t make me tell you; Ya shoulda been there!

She really deserves our support, call her at for any of your screenprinting or embroidery needs. Thanks again, Nancy. PLEASE TURN IN YOUR PRIZES before the event. It creates confusion when we get 50% of our giveaways the morning of the run. It s just impossible to have any organization when that happens. We miss getting some of the donations listed and the vendors don t get thank you letters. So start your shopping now, we need at least one quality item donated from each member. The item should be something you would enjoy winning, it doesn t have to be automotive related.

Event reports: There was a good turnout for Hot Rod Soup Putt. Chuck Turnquist had food, a band, a parade, and cold weather! Toyz for Totz was too cold for many to go. There was a decent turnout and they did very well with their brat sales. There were 140 cars. The Club Pick was a 1940 Ford Coupe that is on our Poker Run picture. They were pleased and surprised. They have sent that picture all over the country. The Christmas Party was good. The food was good. Good job Bob Bailey. Yvonne Rickson and Walter & Patti Hann had their cars broken into. Future events: Jan. 14, 15, & 16 is the swap meet at Big Surf. There will be a swap meet Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for the 3 weekends in a row. Bob Kerkel is handling that. January 30th is the Casa Grande Picnic. We are bringing the meat and doing the cooking. This is a social event, not a car show. If you go, bring a side dish. We are meeting at McDonald s at I-10 & Elliott. We will leave at 9:00 a.m. It is about a 40-minute ride.
