was instrumental in making the car show happen.
Pam Pumphrey reported on their attendance at the DaySpring Car Show
in Marianna which was great. She was excited that the Mark Poole family won the People’s Choice award (1931 Model A) and the fact that they also
spent their time handing out the Club’s Honor Flight Car Show flyers.

Show Committee:
The Watermelon Festival is the third weekend in June. Craig McCollum is always
in need of gifts, trophies, and other donations.
Honor Flight Car and More Show, March 24, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Pam Pumphrey
gave a detailed update. There is an ad for the Car Show in the Talquin Current magazine
which reaches 40,000 homes; thanks Norm for the advance copy. Donated billboard space advertising the Car Show can now be seen on the digital billboard located at Park
and Magnolia. Pam and Mac Kemp of Honor Flight will be on the noon day show with Art
Myers on WCTV on March 19. Pam’s needs include: goodie bag “stuff”, volunteers to
stuff goodie bags one day the week before the show (a signup sheet was circulated), and
raffle prizes. Participants and their vehicles should be there between 8:30 and 9:00 on March 24; the winner (chosen by local veterans selected) will be announced at noon. Two
tents are need (10 x 10 popups); Seth from JPII offered two and advised that JPII would
have a tent of their own to get out information about the school and their program. Pam
advised of her plan for raffle tickets (remember all money goes to Honor Flight); car show/honor flight t-shirts have been donated and will be on sale of $15 and participants
will receive a $3 off coupon with their registration. Jack Hanbury, John Schanbacher, Reu-
ben Plachy, and Anne Stallings each offered a cash box to be used by volunteers at tents
selling items. The question of security was raised due to the amounts of money being
collected and handled.
Ken Hart suggested purchasing a few Club shirts to encourage sales. Upon motion
by Don Pumphrey and second by Norm Madsen which was unanimously passed, author-
ized the Board to spend up to $500 to purchase shirts. Don and Chantal Romaine will get
details to Ken on cost, sizes, and how quickly they can be provided. Jenny Hart suggested
purchasing drink koozies with Club information on them. Upon motion by Phil Reichert and second by Kathy Madsen which was unanimously passed authorized the Board to
spend up to $200 to purchase drink koozies. It is hoped that the koozies will cost approxi-
mately $1 each.

Old Business:
New Business: Lively Technical Center is now the meeting location of the Club for the
foreseeable future. The club has signed an agreement and provided insurance through June 2018. Ken Hart anticipates the agreement will be renewed after July as it is aligned
with the Leon County school year. Chef Benny indicated they can vary the menu and pro-
vide almost any cuisine with costs varying as necessary. Most meals will be in the $10 to
$12 range. He also indicated they could do the Christmas party if we so desire. There was
very vocal agreement that the Christmas party should be held at the Lively location. The only times Lively will not be available to the Club is July and during school spring breaks.
July 2018 is covered by Jack Hanbury’s picnic and Mystery Garage Tour (see above).

membership dues to all elected 2019 officers. This would include President, Vice Presi-dent, Secretary, Treasurer, Newsletter Editor and Webmaster. The Board is in charge of
the nomination process and will meet further to complete this process.
