Club Officers
President…
Hello Classic Chevy members!
Dennis Hall
Vice President…
Bill Shaffer
Secretary…
Carol Sorkness
Treasurer…
What a great banquet! Darcy’s did themselves a favor by providing us with a great
meal that will no doubt result in repeat performances. They have evolved to our
favorite monthly meeting place, as well as our annual banquet choice. Good job
Annette and staff!
Debby Hall
During the banquet we listened to Fred Mason and Dave Sorkness about how they
improved their rides during the year. The votes are in and counted. The trophy
winner will be announced at the Chinese Auction. I will say that there were only two
votes separating the two. Good job Fred and Dave!
Earlene Lindley
I have collected quite a few boxes of club history items from Archie and will peruse
them before handing them over to Dick Epstein to decide how to present it on the
website. Good job Archie!

Our last event of the year, the Chinese Auction, is right around the corner. It’s actually a misnomer to label it only as the Chinese Auction, as it is so many things. A
potluck, an ornament exchange, toys and food donations, and of course good company! And THEN the auction, which is the highlight of the evening. I sincerely hope
all of you will consider making this year’s event. See details and direction in this
newsletter. Good job Earlene!

Announcements:
1.
Dennis informed the membership that we received a thank you note from Meals on
Wheels for our cash donation as well as all of the left-over food items from the car
show that we gave them. In 2013, Meals on Wheels delivered 78,000 dinners, served
11,400 lunches at the senior center and delivered 37,595 meals to pets. We are
pleased to support this organization.
2.
Club rosters and dash plaques are available if you need or would like one.
Secretary report - minutes of the previous meeting read and approved
Treasury report - given and accepted
Committee reports: no reports
Old Business: none
New Business:
1.
We discussed the Most Improved Car Award. Two members, David Sorkness with a 57
Chevy Bel Air two door hard-top and Fred Mason with a 63 Impala Super Sport presented pictures of their cars and each gave a brief synopsis of the improvements that
were made this year. Ballots were passed out and members were requested to vote for
the car they felt was the most improved. The ballots were then given to Debby Hall.
Dennis will tally the votes, get the plaque engraved for the trophy and present it at the
next meeting.
2.
Dick Epstein requested club history items be forwarded to him for inclusion on our
website. Guest Tawnia Penick mentioned there are lots of items at Archie’s. Any members with older dash plaques, pictures, flyers, etc., are requested to let Dennis know
what they have available.
3.
Our 2015 club car show will be held at Millwood Park on the 13th of June as voted on
previously.
4.
The ANC car show was discussed. Skip Littell assured us that ANC wants us to put on
another show in 2015. We will need to pick a weekend that is not in competition with
other car shows in the area. Dennis suggested that more discussion be held on this
item at the next meeting. We will have a board meeting in December after finding out
what has been spoken for in the car show calendar of events to see what weekends in
late August or early September look the best, and advise the membership at that time.
Next Meeting: Our November meeting will the Chinese Auction and Potluck Dinner. It will be
held at Stan and Diana Opp’s home on Saturday, November 15th. This get-together is set for
4 pm. From 4 - 5 pm will be a social hour, setting up the room, food, donations, and auction
items. We will eat around 5 pm and then hold our auction. In addition to auction items, please
remember to bring a dish to share, food items for the food bank, a new toy for Toys for Tots,
and a Christmas ornament for our ornament exchange. The November newsletter will contain
details and a map to the Opps’ residence.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.

CHINESE AUCTION and POTLUCK dinner
For all of you who have not attended this gala
before, here is a quick breakdown of events.
1. Potluck dinner, so bring something to
share. Hot/cold, main entrée, ‘finger-food’,
salad or dessert (yum!)
2. A new toy for Toys for Tots and nonperishables for the food bank.
3. Auction items - can be crafted, bought,
from under the bed, the closet or garage -anything goes! These gifts can be wrapped
or unwrapped. There are some pranksters
in the group, so you never know what you
might get! We even have items that keep
coming back! It’s all for fun, laughter, and a
good cause!
4. We also do an Ornament exchange, so if you
want to play, bring an ornament (one per
person) and share in the fun!
5. Checkbook/cash! All proceeds from this
auction will go to charity!
