DECEMBER 2015 VolumeXV, Issue 12 Business Meeting: 3 rd Tuesday of each month at Wyatt Johnson Toyota Dealership on Wilma Rudolph Blvd. 6:30 PM I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving, and after that a merry Christmas and New Year celebration. It s clear that winter has all but finally arrived. It started out on the cold side but has been mild the last few days. It s great to see the cold weather has not kept the club members from getting together at Wendy s and other places talking cars. Our new members are also beginning to run with the rest of us and I appreciate them doing so.

- Cruise Night For those of you who attend the monthly meeting, you know that our monthly Cruise Night site at Kmart / Wendy's has come to an END!!! Kmart has allowed the semi-trucks to continue to park on their parking lot which has hampered our cruise in spaces considerably. Thus far, they are not supporting our requests for the trucks to be denied parking. There is an active committee seeking other parking lots in the area, but so far, they haven't been able to secure a site for our 2016 cruise-in. A new committee will be formed under the guidance of our 2016 Board of Directors to actively seek out a new site. If you have any connections with a property owner in Clarksville, you are encouraged to be part of the new committee. Specifications of a new site include: nearby food establishments, restrooms and parking spaces up to 150 spots. However, there is a possibility that we could attract a food vendor to support us, if all other specs were met. Everyone's help is needed on this matter, if we are to host a Cruise Night in 2016. If you have any ideas, please contact one of the new Board Members ASAP. 6
