As a club, We have been asking for months to have our members volunteer to take over the offices of President, VicePresident, Secretary and Treasurer.  There has been zero interest.   After much discussion, we have made the decision to keep our club going and not close it.  We already have the Truman Rec center,  the website and members that are willing and able to continue to attend our meetings and functions. This has resulted in a new format for our club. We are now going to be THE VILLAGES VINTAGE CAR AND SOCIAL CLUB. We are no longer a 501c.  There will be no dues. There will be a 50/50 drawing at our meetings to help offset the cost of refreshments.   We have members that have volunteered  for leadership rolls.  PAM HENDRICKSON, JOANNE HORNE & BONNIE WHITE.  Bonnie White has agreed to be the Treasurer and Web Master.   We are trying to have activities that will appeal to Car enthusiasts and wives or significant others.  We would love for all current members to invite friends to join in the fun and to suggest activities for the future.

NOW UPDATES OF PRESENT AND NEAR FUTURE PLANS.

Thanks to all that attended the first meeting of this year on Monday, January 16.  We had 49 in attendance and we now have 4 new members and 1 rejoin.  Please welcome Don Bisant, Tim & Sally Brazil, Lou Ehrenhalt, Check Zieman, Rick & Kathy Welsh.   We hope you will continue to show your support and enjoy the activities.   Please let us know who will be attending the February Valentines Day meeting.  We need a head count for this meeting.                                     Please call Pam  352-638-3290.
