I REMEMBER WHEN WE BEGAN THE REBELS IN 1993. WE HAD TO REALLY SEARCH TO FIND MORE THAN A COUPLE SHOW A MONTH. SO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS HAVE HAPPENED SINCE THEN BESIDES THE USE OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB. CLUBS BEGAN COMMUNICATING WITH ONE ANOTHER SO THERE WERE LESS CONFLICTS OF DATES FOR EVENTS. CONSEQUENTLY, CAR CLUBS FOUND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MORE SATISFYING THAN SPENDING A DAY WITH OTHER HOBBYISTS LIKE THEMSELVES AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, SHARING THEIR KNOWLEDGE WITH ONE ANOTHER. SOON, COMMUNITIES WEE BEGINNING TO REALIZE IF THEY SUPPORTED THESE SHOWS AND EVENTS, THEN THEY, TOO, WOULD BENEFIT. NOW, WE ALL BENEFIT - WE CAR CRAZIES GET TO SHOW OFF OUR CLASSICS AND HOPEFULLY PASS ON OUR LOVE OF THESE CLASSICS TO A FUTURE GENERATION THAT WILL CARRY ON OUR DREAMS.

TO KEEP THIS SITE SOMEWHAT CURRENT WITH OUR ACTIVITIES - PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE - I'VE DECIDED TO USE THIS PAGE TO LIST OUR CURRENT ACTIVITIES, THUS, A SHORTENED MONTHLY NEWSLETTER. HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL BE INTERESTING NOT ONLY TO OUR MEMBERS, BUT OTHER CAR ENTHUSIASTS.

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL JULY MEETING. THE TEMPERATURE WAS CREEPING UP INTO THE MID 90'S SO IT WAS SOOOOOOO NICE TO SIT IN THE COOL, COOL ROOM AND ENJOY EVERYONE. PASSED AROUND A "GLAD TO HEAR YOU'RE RECOVERING WELL" FOR ROSIE AND A "SO SORRY YOU'LL BE LEAVING US" CARD FOR TONY & TRISH WHO ARE MOVING TO NEW YOWK AT THE END OF THE MONTH.

WE WELCOME NEW MEMBERS, RICHARD AND SHERRY GIBSON. THEY OWN A BEAUTIFUL 1950 MERCURY 4DR. WELCOME TO THE KAR KRAZIES !

AS MENTIONED, TONY & TRISH ARE MOVING AND AS TONY IS ONE OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS, WE HELD A QUICK NOMINATION TO FILL THAT POST. LUCKY FOR US, BUCK NOMINATED TOM AND IT WAS UNANIMOUSLY AGREED, HE ACCEPTED, SO HE'S NOW OUR NEW BOARD MEMBER.

LOTS OF SHOWS FOR MAY/JUNE/JULY - UNFORTUNATELY, THE JULY HEAT IS PUTTING A KABASH ON A FEW OF THEM, 'SPECIALLY THE ONES THAT ARE ON PAVEMENT. THE RIP CITY SHOW WAS GREAT WITH LOTS & LOTS OF VENDORS AND ENTERTAINMENT GOING ON BUT IT WAS 96 DEGREES OUT AND I THINK IF YOU STOOD TOO LONG IN ONE PLACE ON THE BLACKTOP, YOU COULD EASILY JUST MELT.

AND, SPEAKING OF GOOD SHOWS - BUCK & PAM ATTENDED THE TIGER RUN IN REDMOND, AN ALL PONTIAC SHOW AND WON 2ND IN HIS CLASS WITH HIS GORGEOUS PONTIAC GTO.

ON A SAD NOTE - I SEE THAT THE ROGUE VALLEY STREET RODS HAS LOST A VERY, VERY DEAR MEMBER ** GEORGE BAILEY. GEORGE USED TO WRITE THEIR NEWSLETTER AND IT WAS ONE OF THOSE YOU WAITED EACH MONTH FOR - HIS HUMOR WAS BEYOND JUST FUNNY. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR MOOD WHEN READING THAT MONTHS "SNOOZELETTER", AS HE CALLED IT, YOU'D HAVE A SMILE BY THE END OF THE LAST PAGE. YOU WILL BE MUCH MISSED BY ALL, GEORGE.

THE CHRISTMAS PARTY FOR THIS YEAR HAS BEEN RESERVED FOR SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11TH. MORE TO COME IN THE NEXT MONTHS.

AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED, I'VE ADDED LINKS TO THOSE SHOWS THAT HAVE A WEBSITE AND/OR THEIR SHOW INFORMATION. I THINK FROM NOW ON I'M GOING TO E-MAIL THESE ENTRY FORMS TO THOSE WHO HAVE AN E-MAIL ADDRESS - LESS WORK FOR ME AND THE COPIER ! AND - I'M GOING TO ADD A PAGE TO THIS WEBSITE THAT IS LINKS/EMAIL/PHONE #'S INFO ON ALL THE EVENTS/SHOWS/CLUBS THAT I HAVE INFORMATION ON. WHICH MEANS, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO CHARGE UP MY LITTLE BRAIN CELLS AND SEE HOW TO ADD A PAGE HERE WITHOUT GOOFING UP THE WHOLE SITE.

THE CLUB NOW HAS AN AMPLE SUPPLY OF LOGO T-SHIRTS, AN XLARGE 1/4 ZIP SWEATSHIRT, AN XLARGE FULL ZIPPERED HOODIE, AND 5 DRESS SHIRTS WITH LOGO IN KHAKI. REMEMBER - WE ALSO HAVE CAST REBEL PLAQUES AND LOTS OF "DON'T TOUCH" MAGNETS.

MEETINGS ARE ALWAYS THE 2ND WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH, AT ELMERS IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM. MEETING BEGINS AT 6:00 SO COME EARLY TO CHOW DOWN AND GO THRU' THE FLYERS (WHICH WE HAVE TONS OF). EARLYBIRDS ALSO CAN CHECK TO SEE WHO'S GOING WHERE AND WHAT SHOWS ARE NOT TO BE MISSED.
