BELVEDERE BULLETIN
Our monthly meeting held October 8 was the election meeting. Only 7 members showed up, 3 of which were officers. We are assuming that the same 3 will retain their positions. I reserved a room at Guerrazzi’s for our Christmas party. Everyone seemed to have a good time there last year. The date is December 13th at 6:30pm; eat at 7:30pm. We had to put down a deposit and have only until November 8th to cancel, if necessary. We need 30 people to be able to hold the party there. The cost is $11.95 per person, plus an 18% gratuity and sales tax, for a total, by my calculations, of $14.95. The menu, I picked, 3 entrees: Baked Chicken, Barbecued Spareribs, and Pasta al Forno. A Dinner salad, Au Gratin potatoes and Chocolate sheet cake are, also, on the menu. All drinks, with the exception of coffee, are extra. Because we will have to pay for 30 people regardless, I will need a firm count of people and the money by November 7th. Please, checks only, in the event that we don’t get enough going, we can shred the checks and notify you accordingly. I know this is short notice, but if we don’t do it this way, the club will be responsible for the total cost of 30 people. Not too much news of interested this month, lots of people have put their cars away or have been busy with fall chores, us included. Roy did paint his pole barn floor and of course had to paint a big Pentastar in the middle. Mike is busy building a ramp for Valve Cover Races at next years car show. I think he has been practicing, why I’m not sure, us women are going to win next year at Petoskey. Bob Kanar is working on his ’69 Dart, hoping to get the runs that the car is capable of. His daughter, Jennifer, as been racing their ‘70 Sport Satellite. Her goal this year was to make at least one pass at 100+ MPH, which she did. I’m not positive on the ET, but I’m thinking it was in the 13.40-50 range. Go, Speed Racer, Go!! Sunday three cars went to Rosie’s Diner, west of Greenville, as a destination for a Color Tour. The food at Rosie’s was good but it seemed to all of us that the diner itself was not being kept up. Wayne did his best to keep us off the main roads while trying to avoid Detours. A little more sunshine would have been nicer, at lease it didn’t rain. We are planning on only doing a Newsletter every other month for a while to help on cost saving. We are going to need start-up money for next years car show. We did receive a Thank You letter from St. Vincent’s for the $300 contribution we sent them. They are the first and only charity that have done so. November meeting is at The Gavel on Nov. 5, December meeting will be the Christmas Party, with January’s at Guerrazzi’s on the 14th. |
