1 AUSTIN AREA CAR CLUB S Information Station Visit our website: D EC., 2009 President s Message: The last month went well for the club with a great lunch meeting in Taylor. Everyone liked the food and Jim Curls tour route. We will be seeing more of that restaurant next year for sure. We had our first "car of the month award at the meeting and it went to a MOPAR. And I thought Mr. and Mrs. Ford Only would be biased. The minutes should contain the details. Don't forget to RSVP for the Christmas party so the club doesn't waste money that we can't recoup. It costs us $25/person and the money is just wasted if you don't show up and pay your co-pay of $10 /person. Also if you don't reply we may not have enough food for you. Don't forget to bring gifts to exchange (see page 8) also if you desire. Also the Pate jackets and year tabs will be available there too for those of you that helped with Pate this year. I went to the Bastrop car show on the 14th which was a huge success with over 300 cars and several of our clubs members present. There were plenty of food booths, BEER, and even arts, crafts, and antique booths to spend money at. And I did! See ya'll at the Christmas party!!!!!

Karen reported that she had sent Billy Huston a card for his back and we found out about Margo Springer had surgery on her right foot. Also Norm had had an operation to take one inch off his leg because of an infection. Cards are going out the Margo and Norm as Karen was not notified of the illnesses. If someone knows of illness or hospitalization, please contact Karen Ross at or Gary Smith presented the first of the renewed Car of the Month plaques to Bob Deets for his 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger.

The car show in Marble Falls was a great success and Gary Westfall won 1 st place in the 60 s category. There is a new car museum in San Marcos now. We may want to plan a tour to the museum in the future. If someone wants to do so, they should speak up and plan the tour. Dues are now due.
