Dear Members,

Since we did not have a meeting in February due to illness, we weren’t able to set up a pot-luck dinner for the March meeting.  Therefore, we have decided to have Pizza from NYPD and salad for the March 20th monthly meeting.                                                                        We will need a head count so that we can place an accurate order. THE CUT OFF DATE FOR A HEAD COUNT IS MARCH 15, 2023.                                              Please email Pam Hendrickson at phendr6319@aol.com or call her cell at 352-638-3290.  

Ken Lohr’s February Drive and Dine did not get a good turnout.  When our members take the time to set up a luncheon, please make an effort to attend.                                                                                                      Bob Schlenk is setting up a Drive and Dine for  March.  We will be diving to Lena’s Seafood, in Ocala with a beautiful backroads cruise. The Time and meeting place will be announced as it gets closer to the date.  Please contact Bob direct @rschlenk59@gmail.com or 352-454-3133.

THE 75TH Anniversary of the Ocala Drive-In scheduled for March 11, is cancelled due to a Family illness.  A new date has not been announced at this time.

March 18th,  Cruise in Spanish Springs.

Saturday,  April 15 @ Spanish Springs.  The Villages Vintage Car Club is the featured car club.  They would like a head count ASAP.  Please call Pam if you plan to attend.

April 29,  our club will be part of the Brownwood Paddock Square Car Club Showcase.  We are allowed 24 cars around the square. The first 24 will be confirmed.  An alternate list will be started in case someone is unable to attend.

We will discuss the Lake Sumter “Night on the Square” at our March meeting.  

If we do not get a good turnout at the meeting or any of these events, we will assume there is little interest in keeping the club alive and we will then,  donate the monies in the checking account to charity.  As you know, JoAnn, Bonnie & Pam are trying to keep our club alive.  We need all your help in order for this club to survive.

UPCOMING EVENTS

SATURDAY, MAY 20                                                                                          CRUISE IN AT SPANISH SPRINGS TOWN SQUARE.

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.
