President’s letter Januray 2010

Well now that 2009 is finally gone, I for one am happy to see it go. Business and the economy has been one of the worst I have seen in a long time. But I am looking forward to a brighter future. I see this club getting involved in more events and activities. With the Executive Board and Board of Directors that has been elected for 2010 I see this club having good guidance down the road. I would like to thank out going Board Members, Neal Hasheider, and Jeremy Bligh for their time and dedication to this club, all there help is appreciated, Thank you. And I would like to welcome two new Board Members, Sally O’Toole and Rod Davison, I look forward to working with both of you.

The New Year will also throw this club some challenging events for us to tackle. We have been invited to have some club member’s cars displayed at Tiffany Ford in Hollister, Ca. for their 100th Anniversary. Ford will be helping Tiffany Ford celebrate this event. We will also be having a tech session in their service center. More info about this event, the closer we get to March.

We also have three new Car show Chairman, Myron Moreno, Rick Pickering and Craig Bauer. I am looking forward to working with these three gentlemen. I see another great year for OUR car show. This will be our 32nd Annual show. I would also like to thank Neal Hasheider and Tom Hasesberg without these two Gentlemen our Car show would not be were it is today, a successful event.

This club will also be doing its part in the GREEN department in 2010. We are trying to change over to the Electronic age. Which means that all communications and print media will be emailed. This saves us money and trees. We are still printing some 50 to 60 issues of the Pony Express. And we only have 75 or more Members. So we need to break our habit of having a printed copy in our hands, this will save a lot of trees and our Money. The best thing about having the newsletter emailed is all the photos are in Digital color. So think about converting over to electronic Newsletter for 2010.

I would also like to remind everyone that January is time to Renew your Membership. You can do everything on line now. At our Club web site you can download an application for membership so you can snail mail your check to Walt, or you can use Pay Pal that only takes about 3 Minutes to do. And it’s a very secure process.

There will NOT be a January General meeting because it falls on the 1st so we will have a small meeting at the installation dinner which in on the 16th. Happy New Year

Respectfully submitted Steve Chapman – President VMOA
