3/8/16 Meeting @ Brick House - Minutes
Turnout was lite as expected, still a little early in the season and too cold to think about breaking the roadsters out of hibernation yet, BUT Spring is only 2 days away. Remove the cover, top off your fluids, check the battery, and get it prepared now, so you are READY for the beautiful SUNNY days to come!!
If anyone has any suggestions for events, car shows, cruises, etc. LET US KNOW. If there’s a great road you found, share it or better yet SHOW US.
Talking with the Brick House Manager before the meeting, he suggested to host our club for one of the Summer meetings. He offered to rope-off the parking lot area adjacent to the outdoor patio so our cars would remain in our sight all evening.
Sounded like a good idea, so we will discuss the details further and probably schedule something soon. Look for it on the forum and a reminder will go out with the Meeting Notification.
Btw, food, beverages, and service were good as always at the Brick House.

An unscheduled cruise is ALWAYS welcome.
All it takes is someone to ask!
There have been a couple nice days so far, so keep an eye out for them and call a couple guys
2 or 3 Adhoc Cruises and garage visits have popped up on some nice (but started off chilly) days.
Nothing significant to report on financials. We are ok at this time, and trying to budget for the remainder of the year.
Currently following up on 2016 Memberships and talking to anyone else that may be interested in our club.
Mike & Paul are finalizing the Apparel orders so take a look and get your order in quickly. Also looking at embroidered hats for $20. These will all be with the new club logo.
