I REMEMBER WHEN WE BEGAN THE REBELS IN '93, WE HAD TO REALLY SEARCH TO FIND MORE THAN A COUPLE SHOWS A MONTH. SO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS HAVE
HAPPENED SINCE THEN - CLUBS BEGAN COMMUNICATING WITH ONE ANOTHER SO
THERE WERE LESS CONFLICTS OF DATES, CLUBS FOUND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MORE SATISFYING THAN SPENDING A DAY WITH OTHER HOBBYISTS, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, COMMUNITIES WERE BEGINNING TO REALIZE IF THEY SUPPORTED THESE SHOWS THEN THEY, TOO, WOULD BENEFIT. NOW, WE ALL BENEFIT - WE HOBBYISTS GET TO SHOW OFF OUR CLASSICS, THE COMMUNITY REAPS THE REWARDS OF OUT-OF-TOWNERS AT THESE EVENTS, AND WE CAN NOW PASS OUR LOVE OF THESE CARS TO A FUTURE GENERATION THAT WILL CARRY ON OUR DREAMS.
TO KEEP THIS SITE SOMEWHAT CURRENT WITH OUR ACTIVITIES, PAST - PRESENT - AND FUTURE, I DECIDED TO USE THIS PAGE TO LIST OUR CURRENT ACTIVITIES - THUS, A MONTHLY NEWSLETTER. HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL BE MORE INTERESTING TO OUR READERS !
CELEBRATING GOING INTO OUR 14TH YEAR AND EXCITED ABOUT
SOME UPCOMING POSSIBILITIES FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND CLUB,
WE'RE HOPING TO FILL THESE PAGES WITH EXCITEMENT AND FUN !
THE NEXT MEETING SEPTEMBER 10TH , BEGINNING AT 6:00. GET THERE EARLY TO CHOW DOWN, CHAT, AND GO THRU' THE FLYERS AND ALBUMS. WE HAVE PICTURES OF THE STRONGHOLD CRUISE IN ADDITION TO ALL OUR OTHER GET-TOGETHERS. WE ALSO HAVE A PRINTOUT OF OUR WEB SITE AND OFTEN CD'S OF PAST SHOWS. HOPEFULLY, NOW WE'LL HAVE SOME WEEKENDS TO FILL WITH SOME MORE DINNER CRUISES - MOST OF US ARE STAYING PRETTY CLOSE TO HOME DUE TO THE GAS PRICES AND THE HEAT.
OUR FRIDAY NITE FRIENDSHIP DINNERS ARE GROWING - WE'RE CLOSING IN ON THE TWO DOZEN MARK RAPIDLY. DINNER PLACES ARE NOW LISTED IN THE NEWSLETTERS (SO YOU'LL ACTUALLY HAVE TO READ SOME OF IT !). WE ALWAYS RESERVE SEATS WHEN WE MUST SO IF YOU'RE NOT A REGULAR, PLEASE GIVE BILL A CALL SO WE CAN SAVE A SPOT FOR YOU ! I'LL BE PASSING OUT SOME NEW
DINNER CARDS AT THE JULY MEETING - ADDING AT LEAST ONE NEW ONE !
APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE TO TONY & TRISH JENSEN FOR MAKING IT TO THE SECOND ROUND IN THE "SNAP-ON TOOL CALENDAR" FOR 2009. THEY JUST RECEIVED THEIR CONFIRMATION THAT THEY ARE, INDEED, IN THE CALENDAR ! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT. CONGRATS YOU TWO ! !
BROUGHT SOME INFORMATION TO THE AUGUST MEETING FROM DMV CONCERNING REGISTERING YOUR CAR AS AN "ANTIQUE/SPECIAL
INTEREST" VEHICLE. THIS WAS IN ANSWER TO WHETHER ONE OR TWO PLATES NEEDED TO BE DISPLAYED - YES, UNLESS REGISTERED AS
AN ANTIQUE VEHICLE. REGISTRATION FORMS WERE AVAILABLE. TRISH MENTIONED THERE MAY BE MILE LIMITS.
ONCE AGAIN, MANY, MANY THANKS TO OUR CRUISE CONTROL DIRECTOR (BUCKAROONI) FOR THE SUPER DINNER CRUISE WE TOOK TO MIKE AND WANDA'S IN TULELAKE. IT'S ALWAYS SURPRISING TO SEE HOW MUCH ACREAGE IS STILL JUST FOR FARMING - WE SEE SO MUCH OF WHAT WAS FARMLAND IN KLAMATH NOW IN HOUSING. LOVE THE SMELL OF THOSE FRESH ONIONS AND ALL THAT NEW MOWN HAY ! WE HAD A GIANT TURNOUT - ELIZABETH ONCE AGAIN WON THE POKER HAND WITH A STRAIGHT FOR $48.00 ! THE FOOD WAS SO-SO, THE SERVICE WAS TERRIBLY INADEQUATE, BUT THE COMPANY WAS EXCELLENT.
TWO UPCOMING EVENTS: SATURDAY, AUGUST 23RD - OUR CLUB HAS BEEN INVITED ONCE AGAIN TO BE PART OF THE BONANZA FESTIVAL. THEY HAVE SOME FANTASTIC VENDORS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF FOOD. WE'LL BE LEAVING AT 9AM FROM MCMAHANS' . APPARENTLY A "DISGRUNTLED PAST MEMBER" CALLED THE CO-ORDINATOR AND WAS RUDE BECAUSE OUR CLUB WAS THE ONLY ONE INVITED. YES - WE WERE PERSONALLY INVITED BUT OUR MEMBERS HAD NO PROBLEM WITH OTHERS JOINING IN. SHAME TO THAT PERSON WHO CALLED AND WAS SO RUDE TO DANICE - SHE'S DOING A SUPERB JOB ON ORGANIZING THIS EVENT.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 30TH - MT. SHASTA'S D.A.R.E. SHOW - A SUPER SHOW WITH AGAIN, LOTS OF VENDORS, SIDEWALK SALES AND SOME FANTASTIC CARS. WE'LL BE LEAVING AT 7:20 FROM FAST'N'ALL ( "IF" THEY'VE COMPLETED THE ROAD WORK THERE).
MEMBERS, MARK THIS DATE DOWN ON YOUR CALENDAR ! ! !! SATURDAY, THE 13TH OF DECEMBER HAS BEEN RESERVED FOR OUR
14TH ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PARTY. GREAT FOOD, SUPER RAFFLES, GIFT EXCHANGE, A GREAT TIME WITH GREAT PEOPLES !
