September 2016
President’s Message
Here we are with July and August behind us. I hope you had an
enjoyable and safe Labor Day weekend. Our club meetings will resume on September
11th.
For those who attended the banquet, you will surely remember Dawn and
John’s memorable roast of club members. John presented me with a club (baseball
bat) and a board as I am never sure if we have club meetings or board meetings.
Now I have a vehicle to call the meetings to order with instead of using the
gavel.
Recently, I was reading the spring 2014 NIA News magazine and came across
an article that Verne wrote dealing with NIA chapter meetings and keeping order.
As you know, Verne was the founder of Jersey Late Greats. He indicated that
the gavel was the key. When I bring the September meeting to order, it will
be a great honor to use the gavel and block provided each of our Presidents
for the last 27 years as these were made by Verne’s father. Thank you Verne
for passing the gavel and block along to the club.
We’ve tried to set-up a special tech
session or field visit for September but
with vacations, it was difficult to do so. In
an exchange of emails, Verne made the
excellent suggestion that we have a
“White Elephant Auction” for September’s
meeting. This is where members bring
unwanted items and put them up for
auction, with the proceeds going to the
club. Bargains Galore! Start digging
through the piles of parts and bring them
to the meeting.
Although Labor Day is the unofficial end of
summer, there are still many weeks to use
our cars to visit cruises and shows. The
http://njcarshows.com/ website lists all of
the cruises and shows in New Jersey and
surrounding area. If you haven’t looked at
the site, please do so as it is a wealth of
information.
I encourage you to come to our 9-11-16
meeting and bring a friend as we need
new members. Also, we still need ideas
for tech sessions and field trips for
October – December meetings.
Enjoy the ride – Actually, enjoy the ride in
your Chevrolet! See you at the club
meeting.
