All I can say is “BRRRRRR”, Winter has certainly set in Big-time.
Hope you all are warm and snuggly sitting by the fireplace enjoying a cup of
hot cocoa, the temperature certainly calls for it! Just wanted to share with
you all the great meeting we had in January which featured Roy Abbate from Batteries
Plus, a store specializing in batteries, light bulbs and battery powered equipment.
Roy presented a very informative Power Point and answered many questions about
automobile batteries. He was also kind enough to bring a battery tender as a
door prize-which was won by Ted Gerlach, congratulations!
Mike Berry has been hard at work organizing the
next NIA convention which will be held in
Spearfish, SD the third week of July this year.
Additionally, he has been in contact with Pee Wee
at the junkyard and set up our tentative March 16,
2012 yard trip. Thanks to Mike for staying on top
of this. Shifting gears, our annual Banquet is
rapidly approaching; please send your money and
reservations into Dawn Dennery ASAP. We need
to have your input so that we may properly plan
this most excellent event. Why not come out and
join in on the fun? The date is February 16; this
event always proves to be a wonderful experience.
It features good food, great entertainment, and
club member fellowship. So don’t wait-send in
your reservations now, see you there.
Our March meeting will feature a captivating
presentation from the Jersey Antique Auto
Museum; you won’t want to miss this one! Please
see Verne’s description of this activity elsewhere
in this edition of our Newsletter. And please, as
Verne cites in his article-Bring your automobile
memorabilia as it will serve to show our
presenters how serious we take our hobby.
Our new Vice President has submitted a great
suggestion at his first meeting as a Board member.
Frank Visco offered something that fellow
members considered a GREAT idea. He said, in an
effort to increase meeting participation, why don’t
the regular attending meeting members contact
other members in their area and bring them along
to the next meeting? Great idea Frank-thanks for
suggesting it. The deeper you are involved, the
more you will get out of the Club. That’s about it
for now; hope to see you at the next meeting.
