The Davies Family was there in support and our 567 banner carriers. There was a nice gentle snow that fell most of the day. We had walkers,Nancy Cruse and Larry Crandell handing out candy to all the kids along the parade route. Not sure who had more fun, our members or the kids!! Our Club won best Motor Vehicles display for the parade. Thanks to all the members that brought their cars down and the members or spouses and friends that supported the parade and the club!

240 Gordie Bonin Passes Away

It is with great sadness to forward the following message to the club. 

From - Jim Kennedy

"My fellow members, a recent supporter of our club and most recently, our “Bowties vs the World” Charity S/S, has left us. On November 29, 2013 in Las Vegas Nevada, “240” Gordie Bonin passed away.

I met up “240  Gordie” a few times over the years and followed his drag racing exploits for a long time, even when he was active though the 90’s. The club had the pleasure to have “240” appear at our 2012 Show n Shine, he signed autograghs & assisted the club in obtaining some autographed photos from his friends for our silent auctions, - he even brought out the restored Front engine dragster that started it all for him, for our show.. He was given the “240” title when he constantly ran his Nitro Fuel Funny Cars at 240 M.P.H or faster. he was the 1st to obtain that speed quicker than anyone else in that class at the time. I had received many e-mails from him since 2012 & he was often thinking of coming out to the event again.

“240” Gordie was truly a likable fella’, a True Canadian Hot Rodding Legend and if you had the chance to chat with him, he was someone who would leave you with an everlasting impression.   His support was Terrific!!!!         

Thank-you “240” for all your help and May God Bless !!!

 

Jim Kennedy

Condolences to the friends and family of Gordie Bonin.

Jim also said that members of a city Roller Derby group may have its members attend our Show and Shine. Plus the group “MADD” will be at the show with their message & booth..

Jim Kennedy said that he was still trying to get a skipping demonstration by a teenage club attend our Show and Shine. If anyone knows of a group that could use some exposure, call Jim..

Jim Kennedy said he still needs more door prizes for our Show and Shine and to have business cards to attach to the donated prizes.

7.      The Club’s New Website

A report will be given by Kellen Kennedy regarding our new website.  There have been 1,200 visits to our website to date, which means that these people will be familiar with the fact that our Club is very active and has a lot of supporters.  He said that most of the people who have viewed our website are from the Edmonton area.

8.      Meeting Location of our Monthly Meetings

It was reported that Blackjack’s facility in Nisku is still a possibility for Monthly Meetings.

Clarence Shields is putting together a deal to have an American-style Truck-stop.  He said Americans would like Blackjack’s and not have to come into the City of Edmonton.  Clarence said he would advertise our presence at future monthly meetings if we change the location to Blackjack’s.  Blackjack’s are eager to have us meet at their premises in Nisku. And have indicated

That they will assist us with “whatever” if needed.

A Motion was then to hold our August  Meeting at Blackjack’s in Nisku, and to hold all future monthly meetings at Blackjack’s if things warrant this.  This Motion passed with only one objection.

Jim Kennedy noted that he was now officially Retired from his full-time job with EPCOR. CONGRATS  JIM !!!

He also said not to forget our August barbecue.  Everyone should bring some food and it is open to all members and their friends and families.  Brian Cherneske said that letters should be sent to all persons who want to invite friends so that they could use them to send to the invitees. This may cause problems so the membership has requested that only Paid members & their families could attend. Note: The annual Club’s 1/64 scale electronic drag races will be held also. Bring your Hot Wheels, Johnny Lightning or Matchbox cars.. Entry fee is $5.00 per persons & there are 4 classes..
