COLLECTOR CAR APPRECIATION DAY POKER RUN
The day started early at Enchanted Trails RV Park, where about 40 participants picked their first card. Vickie Ashcraft also collected hub caps to be used in creating a hub cap Christmas tree in exchange for a wild card. From here the cars headed to the Unser Museum for their second card, followed by a stop at Car Crafters. Here, some were treated to a tour of the shop. Next stop was the Owl Cafe, and many took time for lunch. The final card was handed out at the Old Tyme Ice Cream Parlor on S Rte 14. Some of us didn't do the entire run, but just headed for the burgers and ice cream at the mountain stop. Cars came and went from morning until late afternoon. Weather was perfect, and the cool air and ice cream at the final stop was enjoyed by all. Best and Worst Hands received an award plaque, and all participants got a nice dash plaque. Thank you Jamie and Mark for organizing this. Great day!

NMCCC MEETING MINUTES, JUNE 28, 2017
Present at the meeting/envelope stuffing were: John Hayne-Horseless Carriage Club; Joe Ballengee-Model Car Club; Ken Murphy-OCCA, VMCCA,Rainbow Roadrunners; Bob Hansing, Dan Stone, Joyce & Will Clements-OCCA; Kristen Lynch-Camaro Club; Lyle Schultz-Rainbow Roadrunners; Bill Lemen-LCOC; Perry Key, Tom Lamb-NM Auto Artists; Mark Terkeltaub-Pontiac Club; John Doran-Rio Grande Mustangs; ; Jim Clements, Dave McLain-Tumbleweed V8's; Ron& Su Rymarz-OCCA, Rt 66 Cars; Sue Nemeth, Andy Yoakum, Pat Logan-Cougar Club; Bob Agnew-Classic Car Club; William Lubert-Guest; Roberto Rodriguez-Duke City Fordz.
First we stuffed a bit over 1200 swap meet registrations. We had a great crew – only 6 rejects. Pizzas were ordered and consumed, along with salad and cookies. Crowd was good-natured, happy and great consumers.
The business meeting was called to order. As both Jamie Saavedra and Robert Gold were out of town, Joyce Clements was voluntold to run the meeting.
Roberto Rodriguez of the Duke City Fordz was introduced, and his club became the latest to join the Council. Welcome.
Joe Ballengee gave a Treasurer's Report, and we have a satisfactory balance.
The Car Show Volunteer Lunch was announced for August 9, and several trophies had not been picked up. We still have plaques for Samuel Sandoval and Larry Forney. If anyone knows them, please have them get in touch.
The Swap Meet situation remains the same, but we are waiting on further word from the Los Lunas officials.
Flyers were available for the CCAD Poker Run, and Mark Terkeltaub explained the rules and showed a map of the route. Flyers were also available for the All Clubs Picnic on August 13. A volunteer list was posted for clubs to sign up to bring needed supplies. If your club hasn't signed up, please contact an officer with your choice of item category your members can supply.
Board Member Mike Maguire has not communicated with any Council officers since the fall of 2016. When asking for a volunteer to fill his position, no response was forthcoming. As a result, Ron Rymarz and John Doran were nominated and agreed to run for the office. A ballot will be sent later for votes from Active Member Clubs.
Bylaw Committee member, Bill Lemen, suggested putting some guidelines for discretionary spending of Council funds in the bylaws. The idea met with general approval, and Bill will work on the wording.
Meeting was adjourned around 9pm.
Minutes kluged together by Joyce
Swap Meet Notes from Joyce: The Swap Meet is still planned for Morris Field September 22-24. We will be able to use the south soccer field, the two baseball fields, and the parking lot. We already have almost 200 spaces sold. The petition is still being circulated requesting the Village to reconsider their decision to disallow the use of the field in the future. If you have not signed it and wish to, please contact joyce@nmcarcouncil.com and find out how. There is an online petition which you may sign at http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/save-the-los-lunas-swap-meet/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=face book&utm_campaign=button.
