Another year is coming to a close. Thanksgiving and Christmas have passed, along with the club’s gatherings for those events! Its also a time of reflection. A time to remember the blessings throughout the year and to look forward to what’s ahead. As I think about this past year, I reflect on all the activities the club did. Our visits to the Capitol and Terrace Hill and when the weather warmed, our day trip to Dexter, Menlo, Greenfield and Winterset. I also think about visiting Peter Mond’s garages and our country tour/4th of July event with Julie and Brent. There was the Cruise to the Woods and most recently our Halloween/Bingo party. We had our traditional events: Calvin Community, the Tall Corn gatherings and the Iowa State Fair. We also tried some different things like the Altoona Outlets gathering. What’s pleasing about all this is the variety of things the club did. That was a goal for 2019. Everyone has different things they like to do, and the Board recognizes that. Another goal was to focus a little more on why we joined the club and have more involvement with our cars. A third goal was to organize around new membership. We made progress in this area but did not get to point where the results are visible. This in part was due to a decision to emphasize the first and second goals and the fourth goal which was simply to have fun as a club. For 2020, the intent is to continue the efforts on all these goals. There is still room to grow each of them and that growth will equate into a vibrant club. I’d like to end by thanking each of you for your support this past year. I’ve had a great time and have enjoyed the smiles. Seeing those smiles continue will be an objective in 2020.
Best wishes,
Scott
