THANK YOUS
Joyce and Jerry Cross shout out a big THANK YOU to the car people who stepped up to help with the Science Fair judging in March. Jamie Saavedra, Bill Lemen, Al Smith, Larry Bost, John Hayne, Dave & Anne Merewether, Dennis Hayes, John Dias, Mike & Virginia Walton all volunteered to help. A special thanks to Dave Merewether who rounded up several volunteers from the Jaguar Club. Your efforts are truly appreciated, and I think it was an enjoyable experience for all. There were a lot of neat young people showing some innovative ideas.
From Ivan Wiener: On behalf of Albuquerque Film & Music Experience (AFMX) and the NM Natural History Museum Foundation, thank you to all of the classic car owners who came to the screening of American Graffiti on Saturday night. Great turnout and the cars were fantastic. Picture on our FB page at www.facebook.com/ABQFilmX Ivan Wiener, Executive Director, Albuquerque Film & Music Experience www.abqfilmx.com

MINUTES OF NMCCC MEETING MARCH 27, 2019
Present at the meeting were: Mike Peckumn-Christian Rodders; Mark Terkeltaub-NM Pontiac Club; Dennis Seibert-Rickshaws; Ron & Su Rymarz, Skip Chambers, Joe & Margie Cromey, Dan Stone, Joyce & Will Clements-Old Car Club; Sean Squires-AAA VW Club; Jim Clements-Tumbleweed V-8’s; Jim Glover-Zia Hudson Club; Robert Gold, Art Gold-Wheels of Gold Corvairs; Bill Lemen-Lincoln Club; John Doran-Rio Grande Mustangs; Perry Key-NM Automobile Artists; David Allin-Corvairs of NM, Model Car Club; John Hayne-HCCA; Mike Suttle, Paula Sears-VW & Porsche Clubs; Jim White-Guest; Bill T.-Guest; Andy Yoakum-Cougar Club; Dan & Billie Pyzel-Model A Club; Tom Greer-Hub City Brewing.
Well the March minutes of the Council meeting are going to be relatively spartan for this month. Reason being you ask? Well if you remember our 27th. March meeting was basically spent stuffing car show info envelopes. Joyce cracked the whip, and everyone took to their assigned spaces on the assembly line. It was good to see several guests show up to help – the more, the merrier. In all seriousness, it was really good to see all the folks that were turned out to make that mission happen. I'm sure the crowd had nothing to do with the Pizza and salad served afterwards.
After stuffing envelopes and tummies, Mr. Robert Gold handled the very brief meeting that ensued. Obviously the main topic was of course the May car show. This year's theme again is trucks. Please see/call Joyce to get in the front, if you have a truck to show off.
We also had a somewhat limited conversation on the Swap Meet. Again, new venue, same weekend. We will need a gaggle of volunteers for that as well. As far as new or upcoming events please continue to stay abreast of the activities in the newsletter. There is some flux in the air with Collector Car Appreciation Day, but the date is set. We will see you in mid-May, and again, if you have a car for the show, or want to help out, please see, or call Joyce, whose number is on this newsletter. Your sec. Bill Lemen
