Susan Davis is now our Madame Vice President, and the Board members are Maggie Bortree, Kathy Federico, Jerry McGlothin, and Pat Wiebe. All other officer positions are the same as this year. We voted on who to make our donations to for 2018. Both The Poore Clinic and Paw Placement of Northern Arizona are to each receive $500. For clarification on the Humane Societies reorganization, please see page 10. Hats off to new member Curtis Deibel for supporting most every event since he become a member. We love to see his red tow truck which honors his heritage and our club. We have 5 confirmed rides and 2 possible for the Holiday Lights Parade on Saturday, December 8th. The club voted to not support the Food Box Stuffing event at the local supermarkets. Culivers has opened, but currently the lines are long. After the excitement has waned, the club may do a cruise there in Spring. Richard Federico will advise the Chamber of Commerce our parade crowd concerns regarding the encroachment of children in several of the pinch points, i.e. the Beaver to Aspen and Aspen to San Francisco turns. Also the area by Heritage Square is of concern. Luminaries go on display December 16. Finger foods, etc will be available at Sallie s from 3:00 to 5:00. Contact Sallie Page for more information.

PAGE 8 NORTHERN ARIZONA UNIVERSITY PARADE October 27, 2018 by Bob Bortree Maggie and I have not participated in the NAU Parade for a number of years because of Tequila Sunrise and the raucous support from parade attendees. NAU had moved it to their campus a few years ago and much to our surprise, we had a Great Time! Club members participating in the parade were: Richard Federico and his guarddog in their 81 Delorian, Juergen Burmeister with his 99 BMW Z3 Coupe, Curtis Deibel and his railroader friend John driving the 65 GMC Tow Truck,and Maggie and me in our 55 Chevy. The weather was outstanding, and the parade route flat (no clutch eating). It was a very well organized event with the coordinating being done by mostly young ladies; the parade went off like clockwork. The crowd was mostly families with small kids having a good time and with no party gatherers. As a personal note, I would like to extend our thanks and admiration to the parade coordinators - those girls made us feel proud about our future leaders. Events like this including parades, car displays, cruises, etc, are a great opportunity to get to know fellow club members and promote our club. Think about it - come out and support our Route 66 Club events! A South Dakota photo taken from the Editor s Grandparents scrapbook.
PAGE 9 CHINA STREAMING PROJECT OCTOBER 31, 2018 This apparently was a live streaming telecast to China showcasing Route 66 as a show & tell with an English translation. Curtis Deibel and Bob Bortree both exhibited their rides and were interviewed by the Chinese reporter ( I just can t imagine what Bob sounds like in Chinese). MY FACTORY 5 COBRA Club member Matt Mirabile submitted the following picture and description of his ride. It s equipped with a Summit 302, Weiand supercharger, and a 5 speed Tremec tranny. At only 2200 lbs, this equates to Very Fast.
