Club Officer Nominations for 2011 

Norm Larabee 

PSRG is quite fortunate to have another fine 

group of volunteer members who are ready, 

willing and able to serve as Club Officers and to 

take on the leadership of our club for 2011. 

The following nominations were announced 

and accepted by the members present at our 

October 2010 general meeting. During the 

meeting, there were no additional nominations 

from the floor prior to the nominatins being 

closed. 

The only position that was not filled at 

that time was the important position of club 

secretary. Right after meeting adjournment 

Ken Stobbe stepped up and told the 

Nominating Committee and our President 

that he would be honored to serve as Club 

Secretary in 2011 - - - Thank you Ken! 

PSRG 2011 Officers: 

• President Bob Heckel 

• Vice President Mark Keenholts 

• Secretary Ken Stobbe 

• Treasurer Norm Larabee 

• Parlementarian Chuck Mcleod 

Directors - New for 2011 

• Todd Gudmundson 

• Scott Jenkins 

• Buzz Quesnell 

Directors - Serving 2nd year of their term 

• Tom McCutchen 

• Gary Duff 

• Phil Howard 

Sunshine 

Dick Jauch 

Chuck Mcleod went down to Swedish 

Hospital on the 12th and got some fixin’ on 

his back. He is doing well, spent one night 

in the hospital and went home ASAP after 

that. As of the 20th he is sounding great, 

Karen wishes he was out of the house and 

working on his V-8’s, and he hopes to see us 

all at the Banquet. 

If you know of any club member who could use 

a card of sympathy or "cheering up", or a bouquet 

of flowers, anything along that line, please let me 

know, either by phone 360-387-1580 or e-mail 

camanodick@live.com. Thanks

Greetings, 

The final vote on Relocation was: 

• Luther Memorial Church 41 

• National Guard Armory 6 

• Nile Country Club 2 

• Mercer Island Community Center 1 

50 people is an excellent turnout for us and an 81% vote for 

“The Church” is a clear statement. 

Thanks to Bruce Anderson and Phil Howard and the entire 

Relocation Committee. A special thanks to Bill Meade for his work 

as liaison with “the Church.” And we shouldn’t forget Gerry Herber, 

Chuck McLeod and Bruce Anderson, the Questionnaire Committee 

who kicked the process off. 

The November 2nd General Meeting will be held at Luther 

Memorial Church. Normal 7:30 start time and Meeting structure. 

We have elections and a program which should be a lot of fun. 

As we move into a new location there are some things we 

should consider. Norm Larabee has provided information on “The 

Church’s” location, check your map, GPS or whatever and allow 

yourself plenty of time. Also, we need to respect the Church’s 

property and find out what we can do and can’t do, what we should 

and shouldn’t do and finally what we can and can’t use. I’m sure 

Bill and Laurie Meade will help us out here. 

One other item of good news---Ken Stobbe volunteered to run 

for (be) Secretary. Thanks, Ken 

I planned to include a list of nominees for the Club Awards, but 

the list is to long! And, unfortunately no one has stepped up to take 

on the Newsletter---yet 

As excited as we are about moving, it is hard not to be sad about 

leaving the Armory. Sharon and I have been members of PSRG for 

17-18 years. We’ve had a lot of good times at the Armory, met a lot 

of nice people and leaving brings to mind PSRG’ers such as Greg 

Bisson, Red Smith and Dave Arnold who are no longer with us.

2010 CLUB AWARDS 

We will handle the balloting for Club Awards just as we do the 

election of the Board of Directors. There were blank information 

forms available at the September and October General Meetings. 

Completed form(s), stating your reason for nominating a 

particular candidate were turned to the acting Secretary at the 

September or October General Meeting. Nominations were closed 

after the October General Meeting and a ballot is being prepared 

so voting can take place at the November General Meeting. 

Here are the three Awards; 

RESTORATION: This award goes to a person who is actively 

involved in the restoration process, either by accomplishing a 

partial or total restoration of a 1932 - 1953 Ford, Mercury or 

Lincoln vehicle and related products or by providing input and 

assistance for the benefit of other members of the Club. 

INSPIRATION: This award goes to a person who influences and 

motivates fellow Club members to achieve higher goals. Inspires 

you to start or finish a project or attend Club functions. 

PARTICIPATION: This award goes to a person who faithfully 

attends Club activities, Club meetings and donates his/her time 

and energy to make the functions of the Club better for all. 

There are many Club members who have made a substantial 

contribution to the Club this year. Give this some thoughtful 

consideration so we can recognize and reward the most 

deserving people. 

GENERAL MEETING NOVEMBER 2nd - PSRG’S SILENT AUCTION 

The purpose of this event is to have fun and raise money for the U.S. Coast Guard Family and Friends Holiday Stockings for 

Homeless Children. The funds are used to buy age appropriate things for stockings for children in shelters 0-18 years of age. Also, a 

few stockings for kids living on the streets which are distributed through established organizations. 

How will it work Instead of donating money, bring an item(s) from home or buy an item(s). Something you think a PSRG’ER 

would find interesting. 

What should I bring An antique, collectible, handicraft, something you made, something new or a gift certificate. You can package 

more than one article into a biddable item. These items will be displayed on a table so they need to be relatively small, light and 

CLEAN! 

What kinds of things should you consider bringing Think of what is popular at our Christmas Gift exchange. Here are a few 

ideas: automobilia, gas station items, auto literature, books, tools, Christmas ornaments or other holiday gifts, caps, interesting white 

elephant items with a wide appeal. (See picture of items auctioned off by another club.) 

Value of the item: keep in the $5.00 to $25.00 range. 

What should I not bring That’s hard to answer but items with limited appeal such as clothing and car parts. Remember, anything 

that does not sell, the donor takes home. 

Try and get to the Meeting a little early. Someone will help set your item up. They will need to know what the starting price should 

be, so give that some thought before hand. 

Bidding will start as soon as items are displayed. The starting price will be listed on the bidding sheet. Bids will be in increments of 

$2.00! Bidding will cease during the business portion of the Meeting and resume afterwards. Bidding will end at approximately 9:00. 

You can pay for your items you purchase by check or cash. 

Think about it. The more people participating with creative/interesting items the more fun we’ll have and the more money we’ll 

raise for charity.

Newsletter Editor Needed! 

Current editors are retiring effective December 31, 2010. 

Newer system for printing and mailing makes it easier and less time consuming than in years past. 

Will help train. Contact any Officer or Board Member

Due to the relocation information, there was not 

enough room to include information on the Tour of the 

year which saw PSRG occupy 30 rooms and temperature in 

the 80's or the October meeting Show and Tell. Details and 

pictures are planned for the December issue. 

As your editors will be unable to attend the first meeting 

at Lutheran Memorial Church we would like to have 

comments and photos regarding first impressions of our 

new meeting location. 

Regarding the position of Newsletter Editor" we have 

been looking into outsourcing. It would work something 

like this. (Details depend upon final choice). 

All information must be submitted via email. The new 

editor would compile the information and get it sent out. 

We have included a couple of samples of what the new 

editors would produce. Because there is an abundance of 

Spanish speaking unemployed the first sample is Spanish. 

Debido a la información de la reubicación, no hubo suficiente espacio 

para incluir información sobre el Tour del año que vio PSRG ocupar 

30 habitaciones y la temperatura en los años 80 o la reunión de octubre 

Show and Tell. Detalles y fotografías se prevén que el número de 

diciembre. Como sus editores no podrá asistir a la primera reunión 

en la Iglesia Luterana del Memorial, nos gustaría tener comentarios 

y fotos sobre las primeras impresiones de nuestra nueva ubicación de 

la reunión. Con respecto a la posición de editor de boletín"hemos 

estudiando outsourcing. Funcionaría algo como esto. (Detalles 

dependen de elección final). Toda la información deberá presentarse

Norm Larabee was kind enough to prepare the drawing, 

below, of the layout of the Luther Memorial Church where 

our meetings will be held until further notice. 

For a future issue of Puget Sounds it would be nice to 

include members fond or not so fond memories of the 

Armory. PSRG met there for so many years there must be 

multitudes of thoughts that can be shared. Please email 

psrg18newsletter@msn.com or mail to the editor. 

Know of any members that do not get the email version 

of the newsletter Let them know of the move as bulk mail 

delivery of the printed version is somewhat unpredictable 

and may arrive after the meeting. 

2011 Bellevue "All Makes" Ford Picnic 

Bruce Anderson has completed the 

arrangements for the picnic which will be 

held June 2, 2011 at Bellevue College. (First 

Sunday of June) 

PSRG is looking for a replacement for 

chairman Bruce Anderson. 

Bruce has documented all of the process 

and will teach anyone that is interested in 

assuming this job. With the documentation 

and the arrangements made at the college 

the job will be much easier and less stressful 

to learn and perform this valuable service to 

your PSRG.
