North Texas Oldsmobile Club January 2009 Meeting Minutes by Gene Crowdis December 2008 Monthly Meeting Minutes The December meeting was held at 5:00 on December 14 just before the annual NTOC Christmas Party. Mike Payton called the meeting to order at 5:05 pm. There were 54 members present for the meeting and/or Christmas Party. Special recognition goes to Richard and Debbie Hirsch who came from Austin, Pat & Margaret Yancey from Houston and Juju’s sister Jerry Margaret who came from San Antonio. Cindy gave the Treasurer’s report and we are financially solvent. Cindy also provided information regarding the NTOC charities for 2008. Dave Huggins handed out Old car Pictures on a 2009 calendar. Thanks Dave, mine is already in use. NTOC Charities Again this year the members of NTOC approved the donations to local charities per the schedule set up after the 2006 Nationals. Charities selected to receive $500.00 each were: • North Texas Food Bank • North Texas chapter of the Lupus Foundation • Wounded Soldiers • Mt. Pleasant Hospitality House • Arlington Women’s Shelter NTOC Members are very grateful for the work that Stewart and Gayla Stephenson do to select the people and purchase the items for the families at the Women’s Shelter. Future Activities were discussed. In February the Sweethearts and Orphans Show will be held in Weatherford. This year there will be activities on Friday as well as Saturday and Sunday. The organizers are trying to encourage participants to spend the weekend in Weatherford and Decatur. The weekend will be the same as the Decatur Swap Meet. Discussion was held regarding the Ft. Worth Rod and Custom Show in March. People who indicated that they were interested are: Aron Nance, Mike Payton, John Bock and Gene Crowdis. If you are interested in participating in the Club Display with your car, please contact one of the club officers as soon as possible. Discussion about a 2009 NTOC hosted Zone Show at Sandy Lake Park was held. The park is just off of I-35E near the Carrollton/ Farmers Branch area. Chris has done some checking and there is plenty of parking along with fun activities available. There is also the option to have a picnic in the park area for participants. We need your input regarding the type of Zone Show that you would like to hold. Contact Chris Dreiling, Gene Crowdis, or any club officer with your inputs. We can have a one day event along with setting up a hotel to handle the out-of-town participants. We would like to know your feelings about a judged or non-judged event. What time of year is best for you? There being nothing more to bring before the club members Mike adjourned the meeting at 5:25 pm so we could all go to the party. 2008 NTOC Christmas Party As usual we had a few minutes to greet each other before the dinner, and then we all gathered inside the dining room for very good meal. Dave Huggins offered a blessing for the group before dinner was served. After the meal NTOC presented the annual awards to members of NTOC who are selected for their special participation in club activities. The Spark Plug Award went Cheyenne Dreiling for her attendance and participation in club, attendance at the OCA Nationals, and even driving the Dreiling’s ’65 Starfire on the Drag Strip in Michigan. The Outstanding Members Award was presented to Dave and Donna Huggins who travel to many meetings from Tyler; attend functions like the OCA Nationals, the NTOC Fair Park Display and the Bastrop Veterans Weekend Car Show. Dave and Donna have shown the spirit of friendship and participation that we all would like to have. And I believe that Dave intends to buy up all of the Oldsmobiles that Rick Winn doesn’t buy. The NTOC R.E. Olds Award was presented to Chris Dreiling. Chris is one of the original founders of NTOC and has over the past 20+ years, consistently provided leadership, friendship, and Oldsmobile knowledge to the club. Chris will be the NTOC president next year for the second time. For all of us that have benefited from Chris’ expertise and ability to make parts, fix parts, help us find parts we know the award was well deserved. After the NTOC awards were presented Pat Yancey had a special announcement. Spencer Yancey is five (5) years old this year and in eligible for a five-year OCA Membership pin. Pat presented Spencer with the pin at this time. As usual there were many nice gifts among the packages under the tree; however there are some that I am sure will be back for a new owner next year. Probably the biggest surprise was that someone wrapped two (2) $50.00 bills and put them in two separate gifts. After all of the shuffling Tom Bilse wound up with one of the $50.00 gifts and at the end of the game came forward to donate it to the NTOC Treasury. Thanks Tom & Carole for your generosity.
