CAR COUNCIL MEETING FOR MAY 26, 2021
Present at the meeting were: Robert Gold-Wheels of Gold Corvairs; Joe Ballengee-Alb Model Car Club; Ron & Su Rymarz-Rte 66 Cars & History, OCCA; Alan Schwartz-Mercedes-Benz Club; Tyler & Shawn Earle-White Tigers, Rickshaws; Joyce & Will Clements-Old Car Club; Jim Clements-Tumbleweed Ford V8 Club; John (JD) Doran-Rio Grande Mustangs; David Huntoon, Tony Berbig, Greg Nelson-Corvairs NM; William Lemen-LCOC; Cole Weatherred, Shawn Welch-Guests; Michelle Garcia, Angela D. Vigil-LOE GTO’s; David Merewether-Jaguar Club & Tin Lizzies; Perry Key-NM Auto Artists; Mike Fuller-Roadrunner Convoy.
President Gold called the meeting at 7:01. Our first order of business was to discuss the museum as our permanent meeting location, with using the same type of payment arrangement that we had at the Old Car Garage.
Robert then had us move around the room and introduce ourselves. There were 22 of us in attendance.
Joe then gave us the treasurer’s report. We still have money.
Robert discussed what we were doing as a group. Joyce was introduced and gave us a recap of the recent poker run. We had 54 cars. Joyce explained the systems we had in place. We collected $575.00 we gave out some cash and still made money. Seems like everyone enjoyed the day. The day was great, and a big thanks to all of those that volunteered. Seems like folks saw as many old cars not in the swap meet as in.
Joyce also gave Robert Gold a special gold hat, as a bribe, ooops a gift, for his services. We also discussed upcoming Collector Car Appreciation Day. J D is working with Joyce on coordinating that event. The weekend of July 9th. The Route 66 organization is the main focus behind the planning. Looks like we are also going to have a July Swap meet at the dragway again. The last one held a week ago at the end of May was a success. Hopefully these meets are going to be an ongoing event.
Also if you have updated cars, location, club please see Joyce to update your profile. We passed around the latest copy of The Latest Scoop. Please pass along any events to Joyce for publication.
Robert then brought up some new business as, again, to paying the museum our previous rent amount; it was unanimously approved and we will start paying them our previous stipend.
Robert discussed the upcoming election. We discussed, due to COVID, we have had some unique circumstances as to election timing. These may be pushed out. We will discuss nominations in June.
There are also talks about the state fair re-establishing their routine. Seems like things are getting back to some sense of normalcy. Keep our fingers crossed. Keep your events coming!
Exactly 1 hour and one minute after the call to order, we adjourned
Your Sec, Bill
NMCCC BOARD MEETING, JUNE 9, 2021
The NMCCC board met last week to shore up some details to help us finish out 2021, and steer the direction of the organization for 2022. We met at my office last Wednesday to go over the pressing issues of our JUNE nomination and election of officers and open board seats. Robert kicked off the meeting right at 7:15. We are very thankful that Robert has stepped into the breech and has led as interim president after Jamie resigned. Robert has agreed to run in earnest for the slot. All of the board members have also graciously given their ok to stay through to the ‘22 election cycle. Volunteers stepped forward to fill the Vice President’s slot and the open board seat; the board has put forth the two names that have expressed a willingness to serve on the board. Joyce has subsequently sent out ballots to the reps of the active member clubs. There are a couple of ways you can submit your ballots. You can use the good ole Gobment mail, or send it in to me at: wlemen@comcast.net. Two things to remember. You can write a candidate in, and it is one ballot, one club rep. We then transitioned to discussion of Collector Car Appreciation day. JD is working with the Route 66 association on the overall event. It was decided that due to the fact they would be staying at the El Vado hotel Friday night (July 9) we will be sponsoring an old time ice cream happy hour. Yours truly is coordinating the event with the hotel. Details to follow. As of now we are thinking 7:30 - ? on the event. We will keep you posted. Michelle was then called on to discuss the picnic for the club in August. Joyce tells me she’s well along the way to putting it together. With Covid 19 we are thinking it will be a bring your own eats affair. Again we will keep you posted in the upcoming events section. The board adjourned with a lot of events and plans for a robust 2021. We look forward to seeing you at upcoming events. Looking forward to getting your ballots. See you at the meeting. Your Sec Bill
