Our hard working board of directors have been trying to keep the club on an even keel during these trying times. Here are some updates. The BackStoppers. The need is great but times are tough. We have received $500 from Bommarito Ford, $100 from Ed Akers Insurance and we made $175 from items sold at our last meeting to donate. Sly Biermann has suggested that to help with this cause, t h a t members donate one dollar for each year that you have been a member. This would be a great way to help during the holidays. Right now, the need is even greater. Toys for Tots. We would like each member to bring two unwrapped toys to our next two meetings. Syl Biermann is collecting these to be dropped off to the Marines. We will not have our normal Christmas toy shopping this year due to our lack of funds. BOD Elections. This is the month that we elect three members to serve our club for the next two years. You will vote for three of these four members, Bill Bauer, Jerry Grimmer, Dan Kelly, and John Walling. Banquet. We are now collecting money for our annual awards banquet. Do to a lack of a car show, we will need our members to bare more of the cost this year. Member cost is $18 and guests are $20. We ask that you do not combine your check with the dues as we would want to return your banquet check if we have to cancel the banquet. At this point, we are not sure if Syberg’s will let have a banquet or if we would be able to live with the restrictions. BOD meetings. Due to COVID Syberg’s space restrictions, we request that you check with Dan Kelly before you come to a board of directors meeting. Membership and car show meetings. For November and December, we will be using the banquet room at Syberg’s where we can socially distance. There will be no food served but if you want to eat, you can come early and feast in t h e dinning room. Our November meeting will be on Wednesday, the 11th, The December meeting will be held on Monday, the 14th. Both meetings will start at 7pm. We will be charged $100 each night. The car show meetings will be held one hour before the membership meetings at 6 pm, also at the banquet room. Our new show chairman, John Walling is already making plans for our 2021 car show. We really need more of our members to get involved.
