President's Letter - January 2010

Ken HollmanKen HollmanBlah, blah, blah… so this month’s offering will continue the thread from last with a plea for a few of you to step up and become involved at the board or chair level. I am starting my second year as your prez and at its conclusion there will be several seats open. You see, most of the positions filled are for two year terms. As such, several spots will need new folks with fresh ideas to carry on the fun we have become accustomed too. We will need a vice president, who is committed to becoming the club’s president in two years. With Craig now the VP, we’ll need an able person to take on the monthly production of the newsletter (only ten issues a year). Mary Lou will have been the secretary for two years and her seat will need filling. Betty, the current first lady, activities chair and post mistress general will need a break. She has served the club for more years than I can recall and will need some rest. We still need a driving/competition chair to lead us in more events for this year and beyond. Without fresh and enthusiastic people in these slots, our club will become lackluster and will tend toward what one member said of another car club in the area, boring. So do not be surprised when during the year a board member taps you on the shoulder and says, “would you like to get involved?”, please say yes.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who came to the planning party in January. We had a great turnout and many of you said yes to hosting an event. We are still in need of activities for March so don’t be bashful, if you have an idea, let us know.

Finally, “many hands make light work”, so now is the time to get involved, you may be surprised at just how enjoyable it can be.

Have fun.
