YOUR COUNCIL NEEDS YOU!
If you can help out with the Swap Meet any day for two or more hours, please contact Joyce or Jamie. Jobs are available September 27-30. Needed are field markers, gate keepers, parkers, registratrars, Hobo Dinner servers, sign posters, field supervision, and General Gofers. Experience is not necessary, just a willingness to help out. If you work for 2 hours or more, you get a coupon for lunch on the grounds and free water from the coolers on the fields. You will find the vendors and customers friendly and some even helpful; they are having a good time. You also get to wear an orange vest, carry a 2-way radio, and be a VIP for a while.
Help is needed especially on Friday afternoon and Saturday from late morning through about 5pm. This event pays Council expenses for the year, and enables the Council to continue operating without charging dues to the individual clubs. The Council does sponsor the Museum Car Show, Collector Car Appreciation Day, the All Clubs Picnic, and the Annual Swap Meet. It also provides a calendar of events, web site to advertise clubs and events, a monthly newsletter, electronic notifications of important happenings, all at no cost to the member clubs. All work is done by VOLUNTEERS. Please encourage your club members to help out at Council-sponsored events and/or run for one of the director or officer positions. Without your participation and help, these events don’t happen. Help keep the car hobby alive and active by being part of the crew that volunteers time and effort to do what’s needed. You and your club are the keys. Step up!
Think about it – Hard.
Thanks.
Joyce

Saavedra-V8 Vixens; Joyce Clements-Old Car Club; Bob Agnew-Classic Car Club; James Clements-Ford V8 Club.
In the absence of the secretary, no official minutes were taken. Here are some notes from the meeting.
The meeting was called to order by President, Jamie Saavedra, at 7:30pm. New club rep, Rebecca Georgia, from Freaks of Nature Car Club, was introduced, a club very active at car shows.
Robert Gold reported that the number of people looking at our web site was growing.. Jamie Saavedra says we have over 2000 likes on our facebook page. A lot of information is being shared about the swap meet. The swap meet special e-mail is starting to be used; most inquiries are being directed to the old e-mail box, but the new one is gaining ground.
Jamie Saavedra reported that the All Clubs Picnic was a success. The Coronado site is adequate except for parking. An adjacent parking lot is available, and we will use that if we use that campground again. We had a lot of cars, plenty of food, and we collected over $600 for the Ronald McDonald House. The attendees also provided over $500 in school supplies for the Duke’s Car Club school supply drive. There was a lot of help at the picnic; the Model A Club was on the grille; the Rockabilly Mafia Dolls ran the raffles; the Pontiac, GTO and Camaro clubs worked on setup and serving; the Rickshaws delivered the trailer and helped with setup and cleanup; and Duran’s Car Club served as general gofers. Thank you to all who helped. If I missed anyone, you are thanked also.
A guest from the Cadillac/LaSalle Club, Larry Tagert, was introduced. He likes Cadillac models and real Cadillacs. He’s looking for some parts, and Mark Terkeltaub volunteered to help him with e-bay.
The Swap Meet is filling up. (387 spaces are availaable. As of now 25 spaces are still open). Volunteers are still needed for parking, registration and miscellaneous jobs, especially Friday afternoon and Saturday all day. If you can put in a couple of hours, please contact joyce@nmcarcouncil.com or 884-7912. Tell us when you can be there, and we’ll find a job for you. You get a ticket for lunch and a hearty pat on the back as a reward.
The State Fair car shows and parade were announced for September 8-16. A flyer was passed for a big swap meet in Loveland, CO, September 15 & 16. There is no pre-reservation. Spaces are 11x20, $30, and a $5 parking fee is collected. Go online to www.pvr.aaca.com for complete information.
The business meeting was adjourned at 8pm; some chose to stand in the parking lot and kick tires. A good meeting.
Notes by Joyce
