ALL CLUBS PICNIC HISTORY
The first All Clubs Picnic announcement:
“The All Clubs Picnic will be held on August 26 (1979), Sunday, on North Route 14. It is 2.9 miles past the Crest turnoff, through San Antonito, and on the East side of the road. The Council is providing nothing except the place. There is plenty of free parking inside a fenced pasture with a gate just off the road. Shortly beyond that is a creek bed with trees, bushes, rocks and lots of room. The cows will not be in attendance. We have access to several hundred acres of private land. We can build fires for cooking, eat sandwiches, go hiking, set up games, etc. Bring a volleyball net, badminton set, horseshoes, baseballs, frisbees, or other game of your choice. It is a primitive area, i.e. no tables or johns. Meet there at around 5:00pm. There will be someone there to welcome you. It’s very easy to find. Come out and meet someone you don’t know and swap stories about a kind of car you’ve never noticed before. Bring your own supper; fires are OK if you’re careful. The owner of the land just requests that we remove all trash. We’ll have some bags there.”
We had about 30 cars drive out, ranging in age from the 1920’s through the 1960’s. We enjoyed our dinners, played a few horseshoes, sat under the cottonwoods on a dry creek bed and shot the bull. If you didn’t bring your own chair, you sat on a rock or a blanket on the ground. The evening was quiet and peaceful, and the mountain air was cool. Cost to Council – zero. Cost to attendees – what they brought for dinner and gas to get there. Volunteers needed – one to arrange for the use of the area. Simple. This is what we call “The Good Ol’ Days.” – Joyce

MINUTES OF NMCCC MEETING JULY 24, 2019
Present at the meeting were: Bill Lemen-LCOC, OCCA; Dennis Seibert-Rickshaws; Mark Terkeltaub-NM Pontiac Club; Sirod Larance, Rebecca Georgia-Smelser-Freaks of Nature; Ron & Su Rymarz-Rt. 66 Cars & History; David Allin-Corvairs of NM, Alb Model CC; Joe Ballengee-Alb Model CC; Mike Suttle-Porsche Club; Paula Sears-VW Club; John Hayne-Horseless Carriage Club; Angela D. Vigil, Michelle Garcia-LOE GTO Club; David Merewether-Jaguar Club, Tin Lizzies Model T’s; Tom Lamb-NM Auto Artists; Tyler Sanchez-Camaro Club; James Clements-Tumbleweed Ford V8’s; Andy Yoakum-Cougar Club; Joyce Clements-OCCA.
As both Jamie and Robert were out of pocket for our July meeting, Joyce Clements stepped in as Resident President for the night. She got the meeting under way at 7:03.... Good job, and quickly dispatched the agenda items. Seeing that everyone received their newsletters, we quickly approved last month’s minutes and Dennis was up to give the treasury report. We have money, and monies are coming in for the swap meet.
A huge thank you and shout out go to Rebecca for her help in fetching the money, notating it, and sending out receipts. Also a quick aside, which I hope will also be addressed going forward: There is a bit of misspeak in the actual Swap Meet sheets that went out. They currently indicate that we are not taking "pre-reservations" for spaces. That is a bit inaccurate. We are taking money for a pre-reserved spot; we are not pre-assigning [specific] spots. That is perhaps a better way to say it. We do want to insure that you have your money in by September 14th for your spaces, but we will not assign spaces to you at that time. We intend to fill the spaces as you check in. Another question, "If I reserve 5 spaces, will they all be together?" Of course. If you reserve multiple spaces, they will all be given to you at the time you check in. Hope this clears up a couple of issues/questions that we've had.
While Dennis was up telling us about the money, he also gave us an update on the All Clubs Picnic on August 4th. Looks like we are in need of folks to cook, and clean up. If you are there and can help, great.
We also introduced our guest Tyler Sanchez with the Camaro Club. He discussed the Make-A-Wish Car Show coming up on August 18th. For information, please contact Kainoa Ayze @ 505-610-7586.
Joyce then nicely pivoted from her role as President, to discussing the Swap Meet. We did have a map on hand, and there isn't a bad seat in the whole house. We discussed the big spaces, which are filing up quickly and, according to Rebecca, we have taken in about 60 reservations or so. Keep those cards and letters coming.
See you at the picnic, and also see you at the August meeting. We adjourned and everybody got sent home.
See ya soon.... Bill
