In the absence of the secretary, no official minutes were taken. Here are notes. Shortly after 6pm, the group organized themselves into stations and folded, stuffed, sealed addressed, return-addressed and stamped the information and registration materials for the May 20 Museum Car Show. The crew did an outstanding job, as we only had 5 or 6 rejects out of almost 700 envelopes. Good Show! Pizzas were ordered, but not yet on the scene. President Jamie Saavedra called a short business meeting to order. Guests were introduced. Joe Ballengee gave a brief treasurer's report, and we are on track, with bills for the car show coming in.The car show planning is going well. Joe Ballengee's Citroen is featured on the trophies, and a vintage Central Ave. scene is on the dash plaques. Eric Green of KOAT will be on hand to choose a favorite car.Collector Car Appreciation Day is tentatively scheduled to be a drive in movie. Committee seeks ideas on what movie. The Route 66 Motor Tour is scheduled for the end of May. Vintage vehicles and new vehicles are all welcome. Lots of fun things are planned. We mailed out flyers for the group in exchange advertising the September swap meet in their magazine. Check out details in the events section, and get your reservation in if you plan to go.
The All Clubs Picnic will be at Oak Flats, and the Model A Club is our host club. All volunteers to help accepted; all attendees will bring side dishes. The next order of business was eating pizza and salad. There was no hesitation on this topic, and the food disappeared in record time. Meeting was adjourned. Thank you to all who came to help.
Car Show Notes from Joyce: The theme for this year's car show will be "Vintage Imported Vehicles". Call
(505)884-7912 or e-mail joyce@nmcarcouncil.com if you have a car, truck or cycle that fits.
Swap Meet Notes from Joyce: The Council Swap Meet will be at Morris Field on September 28-30. The May Swap Meet has been cancelled. The area available will be the same as the September meet in 2017.
NOTE: 3 of the Council 2-way radios are missing. If you know their whereabouts, please contact Joyce. Thanks.
