The May Council meeting was fairly uneventful as far as business goes. We met at the Old Car garage to stuff goody bags for the May Car show. We started stuffing bags at 6:00, and by 7:00 we were stuffing our faces with pizza. The car show, which by the way was a huge success, went well. We had 355 cars, and nearly 80 imports. The imports were represented nicely. During dinner Jamie had a few topic items: all received their newsletters. Again we need Volunteers for the September swap meet. See Jamie or Joyce for details. Jamie wrapped up the meeting and we all went our way, happy and full. Your Sec. Bill
