We had 4 Club Events reported on. On the 14th was Skip Long Memorial with 2 Cruiser Awards with Ron Morofsy bringing home the Skip Long Memorial Award. Congratulations Ron. On the 19th was Dixon Grillin & Chillin with 5 Cruiser Awards. On the 20th was Les Schwab with 9 Cruiser Awards and Brad Parsons bringing home Best of Show. Congratulations Brad. On the 26th was Devils Darlings with 2 Cruisers bringing home awards with Jim & Helen Utz bring home Best of Show. Congratulations Jim & Helen. We also received club participation for Devils Darlings. Wow how can you beat that! With there being so many shows to go to throughout the summer months, it s hard to keep up on all the winners, so don't be shy, let us know. We are proud of every award a Cruiser wins. Now that it is August it is Main Street Reunion time. We need all the help we can get to make this a very successful car show. If you would like to volunteer just 4 hours on Saturday the 16rh you can get a FREE Main Street Reunion T-shirt for men or women. We are trying to make enough at the show to give everyone that wishes to go a free Christmas Dinner. So we need all our Cruiser Family to step up. It's alot of fun and very rewarding. Come and show your support for the club. Plus you get to see all the beautiful cars. It's just 4 hours. At our next general meeting we will be putting together goodie bags. If you have collected any donations please bring them with you and be there around 6 so we can set up early. We will have our meeting first with the presentation of a check to Children's Nurturing Project from the proceeds made at Les Schwab. It would be great to have a big turnout out for both events. Special thoughts to Jeanne Hathaway as she continues to fight to get better. We miss you and keep you in our prayers. Happy Cruising, Tammy

4 We have a Cruiser, a fellow, whose stature is slight But what he lacks in size, he makes up in might Curb Feeler Award You see, this man became a legend in February, 1964 He was part of a team, that built a car, and they made it roar He raced the car all over the West Coast, and brought home a lot of swag - But you would never know that from this man, as he is not one to brag The car he raced it was owned by Carroll Shelby, and was called the Dragonsnake It was really souped-up, a Cobra, the real thing, not a fake So this man who raced hot cars and really had quite a life Finally settled down in Napa, opened a shop, and has a nice wife He went to worked on Autos for Montgomery Wards And he had a Poppy-red, 1934 Ford I was told that he use to call this Red Ford the Polluter His real talent is as an old school machinist, he does not use a computer He no longer drives a Ford, for now he has a 1962 Chevrolet that is black The Chevy is really nice, but I don t know if he takes it to the race track. He always comes to the meetings; he can t hear so well and has a hard time, This is a bummer for me, because he can never hear my story or my rhyme Now, let s talk about the Curb Feeler award and Yvonne s Choices for July: Yvonne was told of a Cruiser who was doing some auto repairs, and took apart the wrong car, I mean how did that happen, isn t that just bizarre? Then a female Cruiser traveled by plane, all day, from afar, She rode a bus round and round the parking lot, and then finally asked for help to find her car Then a Cruiser told Yvonne this final story, this was pure glory She asked me to assist her and I said yes, and quite proudly Just so this man can hear, I will recite these last few lines, very, very loudly Tony Stoer, you did something in June, that tops them all, why this is pure gold! After our last meeting, he was at In-n-Out, eating outside and got cold. He went to his car and pulled out a warm jacket He came back, sat down, and then zipped up the front placket Well Tony, he then winced in pain. Oh, Sufferin succotash! In the zipper he caught his handle-bar mustache! Congratulations Tony Stoer. July 2014 Curb Feeler Award.
