The club will be at the Stony Plain Swap meet to promote the club & sell raffle tickets at the club booth. 

Bowties vs the World:

August 24 is the date @ NAPA’s main store (111-Ave/172 St). Sponsorship opportunities for several awards are now being accepted.. Most of our past sponsors are returning & many thanks to them. We also require door prizes as well. The event poster is to be completed when ALL sponsors are accepted.. The Cruise calendar has our event in it already. The registration fee remains the same and if Jim can get the award production cost at the same price as last year, that award cost will not change for the award sponsors.

Club calendar 2020:

Norm & Jim are working this concept, supported by all members (featuring their vehicles) discussion at the next meeting. Date & place for photo shoot should be finalized.. The possibility of using “models” on the shoots was also discussed, as is the Pro photographer to be used.. Last year was a “feeler’ for the idea & there is a large number of businesses with interest in being on this project for this year’s calendar..

Swap Meet Results

April 20 was the date for the Edmonton & Area 567 Club Charity Swap meet, held at Millennium Place in Sherwood Park.

There were 66 vendors who took part and a gate count of close to 600 swap meet shoppers, looking for that special deal or part, and it looks like everyone had a great time- including our A&W bear. The club did well at the gate with a little over $3,000.00 taken in and even the venue rental was taken care from the event itself.

No major costs from the club account were needed.

These are just a few pics taken were taken during the event. Hopefully we will have another one a year from now. It all depends on the membership’s direction on this event.

I think we did well & to all members that came out to help on Move In day and at the Swap Meet itself, Thank you  for all your help!

Jim
