- 3. 3 President’s Letter—February 2016-William Bailey Well it is February, so we can put 2016 Winter Angel Expo behind us. It was a big show and I’d like to tack the time to thank everybody who helped out on the car show and all support, without everybody working together as a team the car club cannot put the show on and look forward for the Winter Angel Expo 2017. Be thinking of what we can do to make the show better. And do not forgot the Saturday night cruise in at the mall beginning the first Saturday night in May and all the car shows in 2016. Officer Bailey

- 6. 6 V i ce - P r e s i d e n t L e t t e r — F e b r u a r y 2 0 1 6 L i s a G r o o m s Well, it is now February, the Winter Angel Expo was a success and we are shift- ing gears to get ready for the cruise ins to begin. Unfortunately, we have had to deal with sadness once again in our car club fami- ly. Don McGinnis in the passing of his sister, and the passing of one of our own, Bob Reynolds. Please keep these families as well as those who are dealing with health issues at this time, in your thoughts and prayers. Death can be so hard to handle at times, but I am so glad to have my car club family for the support and love that they show each and every time it is truly needed. You guys are the greatest!!! I have been thinking a lot about the cruise ins and how we might spice them up a little. I will be discussing some of the ideas at our next club meeting, which is scheduled for Tuesday, February 16th at the Golden Corral, hope to see you there. In working together, we can make some great things happen and usually do!! My sincere appreciation to Jerry, Terry, John, Ted, Paul and all those who worked so hard and diligent to ensure the success of the Winter Angel Expo, I have to say that Butch would have been and is very proud. Although, we were down in participation in relation to vehicles, I believe over all it was absolutely fantastic. The ice cream truck was a tremendous hit, and the show cars were beautiful. I also would like to give a great big THANK YOU to Elmer Blanken in getting Junebug there for me. Man, it was hard seeing that car sitting there and not seeing Butch, but it was something that I definitely needed to do. So, let’s start thinking about what we want to do at our cruise ins to make them more inviting, planning of our fun runs for the year and just the wonderful fel- lowship with all. Love each and every one of you with all my heart!!
