President’s Message:
Wow, we had 42 people at the last meeting and there was plenty of good
BBQ.
Congrats to the car of the month winner, Thurman Holt, for his
59 Chevy Apache P/U painted by our club member Randal Cantwell.
Next month we will meet at the Taylor Seafood and Steak
House (512-352-5188). We've been there before but we will all
meet at the El Patron parking lot in Georgetown at noon to
leave by 12:15 for the restaurant/meeting. Those of you that
don't want to tour with us can meet us there. The co-pay will be $6 and
menu items will be limited to $7.99 which comes out to approx. $12
with drink, tax and tip. Lets try to get more than 42 people.
Jim Curl will have a trail marked with bread crumbs for us to follow.
Come to the meeting prepared to tell us about the car shows you attended since the last meeting so we can share the experiences.
Billy
DO NOT FORGET TO CALL OR E-MAIL RUTH.

AACC Meeting Minutes
March 14th 2010 Meeting
President Billy Hutson opened the meeting asking if there were any new

The minutes as published by Mary Lou Smith in Bob Ross’ absence were
approved by a motion by Jim Coffman and seconded by Gary Warmink.
The motion to accept the minutes was passed.
Ruth Fredericksen gave the Treasurers report and it was accepted as
read.
Steve Koehn gave the Pate report with 97 members for the Pate count.
Steve also handed out the schedule for Pate workers and worker passes
and RV passes.
There was no membership report as we do not have a membership
chair. However if someone would like to volunteer, the club would be
grateful.
The Wellness report was given by Bob Ross – Other than a small scare
about Karen Ross last month with kidney problems, there were no other
sickness reported to Karen.

Dated Material Please deliver promptly
DID YOU KNOW THIS….
When you get a splinter, reach for the
scotch tape before resorting to Tweezers or a
needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the
splinter, and Then pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and easily.
The general purpose of the Austin
Area Car Club, incorporated as a nonprofit corporation, shall be to preserve, maintain, and enjoy antique,
classic, and special interest vehicles
25 years of age and older for the
benefit of its members as well as the
general public.
Now look what you can do with Alka
Seltzer........ Clean a toilet. Drop in two Alka
Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush
and flush. The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous China .
