Page 2 of 6 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT What a show you put on! Our Concours d Elegance had much better attendance than initially predicted with 168 registrations and 167 of them at the show. We had at least one from the Boise area, 2 from Missoula, 3 from BC, a few from the Spokane area, several from the Portland area, and no telling how many from Puget Sound. Sun Country Mustang Club in Yakima had the most visitor entries with 16. We had a bunch of really good cars and it sounded like the owners all had a good time. There were little glitches that we can discuss at the post-show meeting on Monday, October 17 th, but nothing we couldn t handle on the spot. Just about everything went very smoothly. I can t thank all of you enough for your contributions, especially Charlie McNiven and Claud Johnson for their work on the trophies, T-shirts, and dash plaques and Claud for his leadership in getting the show organized. They did a lot more than just those tasks, too. A lot of others helped plan the event and even more helped on Show Day to make everything happen. Thank you! After completing our second successful show of the year, would you believe the busiest week of the year is coming up? On Saturday, October 15 th, several of us will attend the show at City Church in Kennewick. On Monday, we have the post-fall Show discussion. On Tuesday, we have the club s general meeting. On Wednesday, we need 7 convertibles for Kennewick High s Homecoming Parade. Pasco High has requested 13 convertibles for Homecoming on Friday, the 21 st. I hope we can get the help w need again to handle the 4 club events in 5 days, while still getting a good turnout at City Church s show. We will have 3 big items on the agenda for Tuesday s club meeting. The first will be the election of officers for 2012. The second will be the Christmas Party. Please feel free to volunteer for an office. New blood is always good, plus we have several positions that require election or a confirmation of a volunteer. We also need to discuss the November 5 th Veterans Day Parade in West Richland. See you at the meeting. Article by President Jim Compton BEST OF SHOW WINERY S CHOICE FOUNDER S CHOICE
