July Minutes

The monthly general meeting for the Edmonton & Area 567 club was held on July 7 at our new car club Clubhouse located upstairs at the National RV siding building.. There were 17 members present and all were quite impressed with the new “digs”, thanks to Norm....

This was the first in house meeting held since the Covid 19 “crap” started...

We did not get too “heavy” on some issues, One of the main topics discussed was the 20^th annual “ Bowties vs the World” Charity Show n Shine, we will NOT present this car show again this year, what with the uncertainly of the Pandemic plus all the variants going around, the main sponsors & our many associate sponsor feel that given one more year, we all may be “clear” of this virus.. Another issue was the up & down attitude of AHS on this major pandemic, and it was felt by all involved that it is best to hold off till the “Coast” is clear...  Safety to everyone is #1.

We are looking at the end of August 2022 to hold this event...There will be more info on this event as we get closer to August 2022..

The car club’s bank account is healthy , there are still some current members that have not paid the 2021 membership dues, I personally want to THANK all of you that have paid already ( this assists the club on taking care of monthly $$$ costs) and we welcome all your support...

The Emmanus Lutheran church held there annual  Show n Shine on July 18 at their church, the Edmonton & Area 567 club was well represented ( Brian C, Armand L, Norm M & Jim. K ). A early report was that the $$$ raised was around $1300.00 for the church operation.. The club has donated a cheque for $200.00 to the ESRA for their upcoming show n shine, this is a 2^nd year that we have been involved..

If anyone has any Tri-5 articles that they want to donate to our clubhouse, do give Norm a call ...

Craig S. has his ‘57 Chevy completed with the help from Roy M.  It does look good... Norm has purchased a 1934 Ford hot rod & ya I said a Ford but it is all “tricked “ out with latest Hi-performance goodies and has a warmed up 350 cu.in  Chevy power plant.. It is a nice “ride”....

Going back to our Clubhouse, there is a shuffle board table & pool table, plus a large kitchen area, so we will host a couple of tourneys in the winter time.. There is some club cruises in the works and if anyone has other ideas, let’s hear from you....The “Bernie McIvor” award has a 3 member panel ( Don C, Armand L. & Pat W.). The award will be presented at the end of 2021 and this award is given to a member that displays the support, enthusiasm &  club spirit that defined Bernie.. These gentlemen will make their selection at that time..

Speaking of awards, Roy M. was presented with a $50.00 Gift card for his winning the inhouse participation award for 2020.. All you have to do is come out to a meeting, and if possible bring you “ride’ out ( that will add extra points ).. Winner at the end of the calendar year..

The new kids on the block, so to speak ( Lordco auto parts) have not yet notified us on having our group at their grand opening or being a award sponsor at “Bowties vs the World”.. Once a decision has been made, you will be informed..

Jim K. & his ’55 Chevy represented the club along with 13 other groups at the SVAA antique car special day , which was held at the Railway Museum, just North of town.. The Province and SVAA have proclaimed that July 9 as antique car day in the province of Alberta...

A fellow club member is having a good time running his ’55 Chevy gasser at Area 53 dragstrip / Forestburg AB.    He has a strong running ’55 gasser.. Good job Mark B... Keep it up, eh....

 

Next meeting is on August 4 at 7 p.m @ 14305-121A-Ave  National RV siding..

In the mean time, be safe !!

Not much to report, basically the same scenio as the May meeting, a few of us went over to Rockin Robins for a bite, But the July meeting is to be in house, is sounding promising.. Please check on info on the website for this....

The outdoor Quicktimes Swap meet was different, lots of interest in our club... Norm has thoughts of building a ’55 gasser...  I do hope to see many of you on July 7/2021..

May Minutes

Edmonton & Area 567 club May Minutes

           May 5/2021      12 members present

 

 

      There isn’t much to talk about, this current status with the up and down Covid situation makes it almost impossible to hold any type of meeting.. About a dozen of us met at Norm’s shop, then proceeded to the 149 St A&W to just socialize and swap info.. Lots of members are just itching to get out and cruise as a group, we are working on it. 

The current club account is at $6000.00, Still no new time line for a our 20^th Bowties vs the World Show n Shine.. It may have to wait till all this Covid crap is over and we can get back to the ”good old days” so to speak.. 

We lost the NAPA sponsorship over this Covid thing & Mr. Mike Larouque has been relocated within the company ( I would like to Thank Mike for his all his help to our event for the past 2 yrs.) .. 

Jim as asked some of our event sponsors, if they are still able to come and help us out.. Those that he contacted indicated that they would be back..  Which is GREAT news.. A new kid on the block so to speak is ,Lordco Auto parts, they have been approached as a event sponsor but No news from their front as of yet... Jim passed out to those who came out at the May 5 meeting a little gift from the club.. There are many more to pass out but you have to come to a meeting to get yours.. Even though we have a good numbers in the club account, the club STILL Requires some members to pay their yearly dues, which helps the club in several club operational functions.. 

Many members that still have to pay up, You know who you are !!!!  At our next meeting on June 3^rd, we will be requiring these fees from the members.. It is only $25.00 per year... Just in case we have “lost” some sponsors for our B vs W event, the club account will have to cover the these lost costs..  So PLEASE pay your Yearly Dues.... One of our long time members is slated for a serious heart operation in May, Our Prayers and thoughts are for him.. God speed  Don!!!

PLEASE WELCOME our new members to the club, from Leduc Alberta, they are Garry and Cheryl Vanduesburg..

Hopefully we can get to-gether at June’s meeting, the phase 2 of the Covid protocol should be in place for all of us law abieting folk.. The next meeting/gathering is at Norm’s shop, 14305-121A-Ave @ 7 p.m..  June 3^rd/2021...

Then we will cruise over to the 149 St A&W for a social thingy if the phase 2 is not in place and we cannot hold a meeting at Norm’s.. A new date & time for the Quick times swap meet, June 12 OUTSIDE the Westerner Building from 8 a.m to 2 p.m.. NOTE : Set-up is ONLY from 5 a.m till 8 a.m...

 

PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR CAR CLUB !!!!!

 

Be safe, Stay healthy !!!
