MINUTES OF NMCCC MEETING FEBRUARY 26, 2020
Present at the meeting were Rebecca Georgia-Smelser, Joseph Smelser-Freaks of Nature; Perry Key-NM Auto Artist Assoc; Robert Gold-Wheels of Gold Corvairs; Jim Glover-Zia Hudson Club; Paul Wallace-Low Flyers (Guest); J.C. Baillio-SOS Prints (Guest); John Doran-RG Mustangs; David Merewether-Tin Lizzies of Albuquerque & Jaguar Club of NM; James Clements-Tumbleweed Ford V8 Club; Mark Terkeltaub-NM Pontiac Club; Joyce Clements-Old Car Club; Ron & Su Rymarz-Rt 66 Cars & History; Jamie N.

Our latest meeting was gathered by our Lady president at her exact starting time. We went down her agenda with great speed. Our former Treasurer Mr. Joe B. was introduced. He is taking over for Dennis, who we appreciate all of your help and efforts. And many thanks to Joe for undertaking what is probably the hardest, and most thankless job in any organization. Thank you for stepping into the breach.
Joyce gave us an update on the car show, scheduled at this point for the 17th of May. Let me say again at "this point" we are working with the Museum as they grapple with the potential side effects of the virus. Obviously we will keep you posted. As an aside we have cancelled the March 25th envelope stuffing party as we want to insure that we keep your health safe, and also we are still in limbo with/if we're going to have an outing or not. We understand that the Museum is keeping us apprised on a day to day basis. Joyce is also working hand in glove with the trophy vendor, and all concerned as to the possibility of a postponed event.
We did discuss the need for an upcoming board meeting as well as the need for a budget meeting. It appears at this time, we had carved out the 18th of March for that meeting, but this meeting too looks like it may be pushed into a more clear time. Also, Joyce has been fielding several emails pertaining to upcoming car event postponements. Please read your newsletter, and check the website as these events will be listed in there. Thanks and stay healthy. See you at upcoming car events. I hope. Your Sec. Bill

2021 EVENTS
July 13-17, 2021 – National Cadillac/LaSalle Meet – Marriott Pyramid, Albuquerque – Andy Rogulich (505)459-6242 or andy@highfidelitymastering.com – See following:
I am the New Mexico Region Director of the international Cadillac and LaSalle Club. I will be having the Grand National at the Marriott Pyramid Hotel from July 13-17, 2021. I am trying to reach out to others who would like to help us with the judging of the cars. We are estimating 100 Cadillacs will need judging, and unfortunately, our club does not have enough people that take on the volunteer task of judging. If I can get judges, or people that want to learn how to judge, interested in our event, I will have a guy come in that teaches how to judge, and this will be in April of 2021. I'd be happy to talk to you more about this; thank you for your help! Judging is made up of teams with an expert in a particular decade of car heading up the teams. I need to contact our local clubs that do car judging in order to see if I can generate enough interest to get some guys interested in participating in our judging day which will be Saturday July17, 2021. This is for people interested in becoming a member of the Cadillac club and judging, as the judges are required to be Cadillac club members. They can contact me for more information.
