NMCCC MEETING MINUTES, OCTOBER 24, 2018
Present at the meeting were: Andy Yoakum-Cougar Club NM; John Doran-RG Mustangs; Ron & Su Rymarz, Joyce Clements-Old Car Club; Joseph Smelser-Freaks of Nature; Jamie N. Saavedra-V8 Vixens; James Clements-Ford V8 Club; John Hayne-Horseless Carriage Club; Joe Ballengee-Model Car Club; Shawn & Tyler Earle, Dennis Seibert-Rickshaws; Dalton Ridgley-Guest; Sean Squires-Alb Air Alliance; Mike Suttle, Paula Sears-Porsche Club; Bill Lemen-Lincoln Club; Michelle Garcia, Angela Vigil-GTO Club; Dan Pyzel-Model A Club; Robert & Art Gold-Corvair Club; Mark Terkeltaub-Pontiac Club.
Our NMCCC October meeting, last for the year btw, was a rather interesting gathering. We met under the full harvest moon radiating over the Old Car Garage. Seeing that we were huddled in the dark, Jamie did a yeoman's job in getting in all of her agenda points, in a rather quick fashion. As it was too dark to scribe, most of these minutes are being compiled through memory.
Joyce gave us a brief re-cap of the swap meet, and how we did. We are still mulling around the amount (if any) to forward along to Los Lunas. A Thank You letter will be sent.
Dennis Seibert of the Rickshaws Car Club was introduced; he will take over the Treasurer’s job in January. Thank you Joe Ballengee for doing a great job over the last few years.
We did discuss the upcoming Veterans’ Day show at T or C. If you have not done this show, it is worth the drive down and back. This is a great show, and the proceeds go to help Vets that have given us the ability to drive our old cars.
There are a few shows that are being held through the end of the year, as well as a couple of car-related Christmas events. Please continue to check your newsletter as it is the last word on car events throughout the area.
Happy and Safe Holidays, and we look forward to starting this all again in 2019. Drive safe, and we'll see you at our next gathering.
Sincerely,
Your Sec. Bill
NOTES
Philip Lovato of Philip and Sons sends a big “Thank You” to all the car owners who came to his November 3rd “Feed NM Kids” event. It was very successful, and Philip is extremely grateful to all who contributed to this charitable show. Thank you Philip, for providing the venue and the food.
Long-time NM car enthusiast Bill Sullivan passed away; his services will be Saturday, November 17 at French Mortuary on Lomas at Eubank in Albuquerque, starting at 11:30am. Drive your collector car, please.
Don’t forget the pizza party in Corrales for those who helped out at the swap meet. RSVP joyce@nmcarcouncil.com.
