The raffle at this months meeting was won by John Worsley.  He won a $20 gift card at Kragen's.  It was reported that last month's raffle winner, John McNamee has used his only raffle win ever (13 years of no wins), a gift card.  But, he used it for something boring like brake pads for his van! 

 

Treasurer John McNamee reported that our dues are paid and the club is a member in good standing of the CSCCA.  We are also very flush, money wise, and all bills have been paid!  We will check to see if Capitol Panteras did indeed place in the POCA article contest for 2005.  I thought we got a podium finish and that meant $$ for the CP treasury, but we have not received a check.  Maybe it's in the mail?  Jack DeRyke, how did we do?

 

We have three associate CP members who have paid their dues.  Ken Montgomery , John Worsley, and Mike Drew are all paid up associate members in good standing!  We are indeed lucky to have these guys as part of the CP group!

 

Jeff reported the date for the Foothill Wine Country Wine Tour and BBQ is set for Sunday, May 21.  Jeff has scouted out several wineries with paved parking lots for the tour.  The event will end with a BBQ at the home of Glen Cramer.  Please mark your calendar now.  We will need a head count to arrange the food.  A separate e-mail will be going out to help people RSVP for the event.  As with all CP events, if your club car is not road worthy the day of the event, please don't feel that you can't attend!  We welcome all members in any vehicle, but you may have to be at the back of the pack on the cruise if you don't bring the club car.

 

Rick reported that the Tech Session is a go for Sunday, April 9, at 9:30 AM  his shop.  Please RSVP so Rick can have things set for the BYO meat BBQ.  A reminder that whatever the project is, you must be able to drive the car home at the end of the session. You can RSVP to Jim at jes@rickadee.net. 

 

John Worsley reported that the Thunder Valley Brunch Run is a go.  Mark you calendar for Sunday, July 16. We will meet at the parking lot at Mimi's to caravan to the casino.

 

Bill Midtgard gave us a pep talk to attend the Reno-Tahoe Rally June 7-11.  Jim and I have attend in the past and look forward to attending this year.  We highly encourage you to attend.  If you can't attend the entire event, consider coming for part of it.  The host hotel will be Harrah's.  There will be a display  there open to the public at the end of the event. The rest of the event  items are still being worked out.  Bill asked if there were any specific things that we your enjoy.  Several items were mentioned: comedy club/dinner, the Fernley track, the paddle wheeler on Lake Tahoe.  I forgot to tell Bill the dinner at the National Auto Museum would be great to do again.
