The February general membership meeting will include a discussion of what activities the membership would be interested in having over the next year. Come, and let’s hear your ideas. Also a vote will be taken on a proposal for holding the Central National Meet in July of 2007. I will not be at this meeting, as Mavis and I will be on a cruise ship somewhere in the Caribbean, but VP Duane Shuck and others have the information to pass along to everyone.

The March meeting will feature the annual club auction, so start gathering up any of those unwanted items that you have around the house to donate to the auction. (like the stuff you bought at last years auction)

The Feb. board meeting will be at Duane and Jean Shuck’s, and Duane is setting up the geezer breakfast for Feb.

Also, don’t forget to sign up to help out at the World of Wheels. There are 2 sign up sheets going. One for gate security, and one for our booth, so sign up for both of them. FREE tickets for those who work security!

Good Afternoon!

All Car slots have been filled for the World of Wheels show.  We have Mike’s firetruck taking up 2 slots, plus 3 cars and 1 pickup truck. Thank you for participating, it should be a great show!

We are now looking for Club members to have some fun enjoying the show for free by sitting at the display table for 2 hour “shifts” starting Friday, February 3rd., through Sunday, February 5th.  We would like to have 2 people (or more) for each block of time.

The times are 3Pm to 10PM Friday, 11AM to 10PM Saturday, and 11AM to 6PM Sunday. If you plan to do security on Saturday, block off some time before or after your security detail to sit in the car display booth.  Have some fun in the display area! 

Free 3 day passes to those who sign up!  Treat those kids.  Treat the spouse- go out to dinner after.  Treat those grandkids.  Besides cars, there is entertainment!

Email your response to Tom Halfpenny: tmhalfpenny@msn.com . Or phone him at 651-738-0838.  You will be glad you did!

Thanks for your support.

Mike Timmermans has offered to display his ‘43 Ford 1 1/2 ton fire truck; Tom Halfpenny his ‘36 Ford Fordor; and Ron Goette his ‘40 Lincoln Zephyr 4 door.  Ron has even offered to enclose trailer cars to the February show if the weather is lousy. 

So, we are looking for 2 more cars to fill our 6 car display.  A mid to late ’40’s or an early ’50’s vehicle would be really nice.  Ron won’t go to South Dakota for your vehicle, but his offer for bad weather insurance is really very much appreciated.  Thanks, Ron.  Call Tom Halfpenny at 651-738-0838 or email Tom at : tmhalfpenny@msn.com if you want to participate.

I want to thank all the members that brought toys, food items or cash donations at our Christmas meeting. It was very nice to see those tables loaded up so fully. Thank You!!

The annual banquet is coming up fast. We have had a great response with a lot of registrations already. If you have not sent your registration in,
remember the deadline is Jan 12. The banquet is Sunday, Jan 22 at Mancini’s Char House on West 7th. St. in St Paul. Social is 5 pm, dinner at 6 pm.

The Board meeting is Jan 11, 7 pm at my house at 4387 Joppa Circle, Savage. This will be the annual changeover meeting. Out with the old, in with the new board.

The TCRG is seriously considering hosting the Central meet in 2007. Bud Louis has volunteered to co-chair the meet with me, and Bruce Nelson will be an assistant Chairman-Advisor. If you would like to be involved, contact Bud or myself to let us know. Also, we are looking into possible sites to hold the meet. If you have an idea for a location, please check it out, and then call and let us know what you found out.
