Wow, where has this year gone!!! So much to do, and little time to do it!!! WE have the holidays coming upon us quickly. I certainly do hope everyone has the happiest holiday season, from Thanksgiving to Christmas to the New Year. January will be here before you know it, and it will be time for our first Winter Angel Expo at the WSCC Expo Center. The car show committee has been very hard at work to get this going and may I say they have done a wonderful job. From sponsors, to activities, things are coming together very well. Our Corporate sponsors, All American Auto, Collision & Transmission and Porter’s Tire Store, our advertising sponsor, Citizen Tribune, our Major sponsors, Gutters & More, Morristown Tire & Performance Center, MD Pharmacy, Cumberland Glass Co. and Andrews Construction, we could not do this kind of production without them. My sincere and most gracious thanks to all of you. The model car show is coming together as well, can’t wait to see that. State Representative, Tillman Goins and Miss Teen Tennessee, Olivia Fleemon will be there as well. Can’t wait to see the display from Petty’s Garage (Randleman, North Carolina), and of course, all the amazing cars, trucks, motorcycles and whatever else may show up!! Certainly will have more information next month. Love to all of you!!!!!

President’s Letter—November 2014 by Don McGinnis
November 1st and winter has arrived, it’s 33` outside, setting at my desk ready to write this letter. The car club had plans for a picnic at our house this afternoon; but the cold & rain caused us to postpone it until next Saturday weatherman said it will be warmer. Well our Cruising season is over, I want to thank all who helped and attended each week. Over all we had a good year. October 18th was a bit on the cold side; however we had a good turnout. That was our night to raise money for our Angle Tree Program (Toys for Tots). Even with the cold and rain we were able to raise over a $1,000 toward buying toys for the kids. The last night, October 24th was perfect, temperature was in the 70’s, we had a large turnout, with several new rides I had not seen before. We were delighted to have Miss Teenage Tennessee Olivia Fleemon joining our last cruise-in and has plans on returning for other activities.
Thanks to Theresa, we enjoyed a great fun-run Sunday afternoon. We left Ingles at 1:30 drove across Cherokee Lake & over Clinch Mtn.to Tazewell, where we had lunch at the Old Town Grill. The food was good, the service was excellent. After we had our fill we traveled north, through the tunnel and up the mountain to the pinnacle, overlooking TN, VA and KY. The weather was perfect; the leaves were in full color. It was a great site to see 10 or 12 antique cars parading through the mountains.
Although our cruising season is over, we still have several events coming up before the first of the year. Dec. 5th we meet at Shoney’s for our annual Toys for Tots Christmas shopping spree. Dec. 4th our club will participate in the Morristown Christmas Parade (theme covered wagons to airplanes) we will have a covered wag- on in the parade & ask for several members to ride in the wagon. If you will be driving a vehicle, make sure to fill out the proper forms. (See Butch) Our club will be participating in several area Christmas parades this fall, I encourage everyone to join us as we celebrate this Christmas season. Last but not least our annual Club Christmas party, held on Friday Dec. 12th at Centenary Methodist Church. Don’t miss out on an Excellent dinner and a Great time.
Monthly meeting Nov.20th Eat at 6:00 /// Meet at 7:00 ---See you there, Don
