Thanks to each and every one of you who attended the July membership meeting/picnic. We had a great attendance. The food was delicious as was all your company. If you have any suggestions for next year's picnic--tell a board member. Maybe we can hope for no flying bugs, low humidity and 70 degree temperatures. I really appreciated all the help setting up & getting organized as well as all the clean up help. THANK YOU!!! If you did not attend the picnic this year; you should next year.

Who is this birthday boy in his Mustang a number of years ago???? Andy Wilbur!!! Treasury Note By now, most of you know that all of the T-shirt and trophy sponsorships have been sold. For those of us involved, it s a good feeling to know that we can concentrate on enjoying cruise-ins and club activities and not have to worry about funding for this year s car show. We re able to fund the show because Board members and others obtain sponsorships from various businesses. The cost is $100 for a company s logo to go on the shirt and $100 for one of the 23 class awards. The Best of awards are $125 each. While we solicit sponsorships from businesses, a number of members have stepped up and sponsored a logo or trophy class themselves. I d like you to know who they are: Barb Braner, Meredith Branham, Howard Emerson, Marty Fructl, Jim & Frances Gatlin, Alan Grimmitt, Don & Gayle Highley, Pamela Meyer, Derek & Melissa Roberts, Andy & Christine Samoore, Tom & Pat Smith, Nick & Shaun Stoutameyer, and John & Kerry Weinhoeft. I m most thankful to these club members for helping to make our car show successful. D. Walker, Treasurer
