Greetings All,
The meeting of the Shakers and Scrapers was held on Thursday May 16th at VG’z
pavillion. There were 27 members in attendance. Jim Lawler called the meeting to
order at 6:42 pm
Tuck Edwards gave the treasurer’s report. A check for $400.00 was made to Voice
Inc. for a dinner donation, on to Action Sign and Banner for $80.00 for the
presentation checks, one to St. Jude;s for $4,889.00 and one to West for
$4,889.00 from the Derrick Das Car Show, leaving a balance of $1,900.02 in the
account.
Ron Turner asked why the club had not donated any money to Catfish and Michelle
for the adoption of the baby. Don Broxson explained that we had held a board
meeting Monday May 13th and it was unanimous that we not take money out of the
club treasury for this and that the club was willing to help them in other ways.
Our last cruise in was a benefit for them and raised quite a bit of money for
them. Don also mentioned several times that the club members could override the
Boards decision, but either no one heard him or chose to do nothing. Suzie said
they had received some private donations and Midlothian Classis Wheels gave a
$500.00 donation.
Suzie Magee and Sue Moreau both had written letters to the club and read them
aloud about why they were leaving the club. When they finished they walked out
along with the Turner’s , the Carson’s , Shorty, Betty and Woody. We regret that
they did not like the Boards decision, but we felt the money should come from
fund raiser’s and donations. We really hope that they will all return and rejoin
the group.
The meeting went on and we discussed getting or making business cards for the
members so we can have them to take to shows and cruise ins to pass out to
potential members, so they can have a contact person, phone number and website
information.
The club would like to give Becky Chandlet a BIG THANK YOU for all the hard work
of organizing the Derrick Days Car Show. She worked very hard and the show was
great. Also to all the people who helped her to get things ready. We had a great
show and raised more money this year than we ever had. Kevin would have been
proud!!!!
