Dear Shakers and Scrapers Car Club,

Hey guys, sorry this letter is later than usual, but maybe it is better to send out the newsletters closer to the next month’s events so more people might participate (the later the newsletter the less time to forget). Anyway, I guess it is worth a try this time.

Our cruise- in will be March 14, 2008 at the Emmanuel Baptist Church parking lot, starting around 6:30pm. Members need to be there around 6:00 to get the PA system and cones in place. Sean is in charge of putting some ads in the papers and on the radio the week of the cruise in, to remind local people to come to our cruise-in. The youth from Emmanuel Baptist will have a concession stand each month. Their menu will range from hot dogs to barbecue. They will not have the same food each month. Hope to see everyone there for our 1st cruise-in for 2008.

March 17th will be our next meeting. In case you have not been to a meeting lately it is held at Doyle’s shop and starts around 6:30 pm. We would like to have as many members present as possible to offer their suggestions.

The club has voted on building a car and selling it on ebay for our 2008 fundraiser, but we must get started on the project as soon as possible. The guys will be meeting at Bob’s shop twice a month to work on the car. If you have any spare parts, please bring a list to the next meeting or let one of the committee members know what you are willing to donate. They have to see what will be donated and what will have to be purchased. Bob estimates we will need to use approximately $1000.00 of the club’s money to get started, but this amount could be less. There should be a list of basic parts needed for this project on our website.

Remember 2008 club dues are due at this time, if you have not paid please give your money to our treasurer, Dan Summerall.

Plans for our car show at Derrick Days are going pretty good, but we still need door prizes, goody bag items and raffle prizes. We need to order the raffle tickets by next week, so if you have a raffle donations please call Sue or Suzie.

The monthly newsletters are now be a combined effort of Sue, Suzie & Sharon. So if you have any questions, we will try to answer them.

Also, remember our website; it is always a good source for shows and cruise-ins in our area.

Happy Cruising To All..
