1 Newsletter Volume 42 - Issue 5 May, 2008 Officers: President Monte Rans Vice President Jack Crossman Secretary Marsha Battaglear Treasurer Randy King Message from the Prez... April has been a busy month with car shows and a club trip. The drive and eat took us locally to Andale so people could be home in time to see the Jayhawks. We had a great turn out plus two prospective members. Thanks to Dale and Barbara for being sympathetic to all the basketball fans needs and taking us to a place with a television and good food. That weekend weather was great for a drive to Enid to the corvette show and the drive and eat. The following weekend was not as nice for the drive to Columbia, as five corvettes braved the potential for rain and snow, which arrived Saturday morning. However, the weather did not dampen the fun or spirit of this charitable event. The weather for our trip to Tulsa was Officer at Large Linn Smith N.C.C.C.
