November Show Report:

Show chair Tracey Fitzstephens reported on the latest for the November show. AutoNation has agreed to donate some items for our raffle. Sarasota Ford asked about displaying cars. However, this will not be possible due to Ford’s divisions of territories and AutoNation’s sponsorship of our club and serving as our host for monthly meetings. Tracey also reported that registrations continue to come in slowly, only 16 to date. She strongly urged members to register their cars now to help with show budgets. Rudy attended a big show at Wiregrass Mall in Wesley Chapel recently and distributed lots of fliers. Tracey reminded the club that fliers are available to all. At our next meeting Tracey will be signing up members to work at the show. Plan to volunteer. Ray Baker has already volunteered his trailer and Debbie Brunatti will again be responsible for raffle tickets. Tracey also noted that awards this year will be plaques, not trophies.

Guests: We had no guests at this meeting.

Old Business: We had no old business this month.

New Business: We also had no new business this month.
