OLD BUSINESS

Treasurer’s Report:                   The Treasurer’s Report was given by Jim Poe.  Jim provided a new CPCC Treasurer’s Report dated 4/11/05.  Total new membership deposits, $30.00; March’s 50/50 raffle deposit, $77.00, for a new club balance (at the end of March) of $3,615.33. 

 

                                                If anyone would like an updated club roster please see Jim.  (Due to personal information on the rooster, Jim doesn’t want to make a bunch of copies and leave them on the tables at the restaurant.)

 

Secretary:                                 PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!!    Will someone else take on the responsibility of Secretary?????

 

March 12, 2005                      Run to Occidental/Napa – John Reese

                                                John reported that 11 cars participated in this event and even though he got a little lost, everyone had a great time!  The weather, lunch and wine were terrific!  Thanks, John for putting this event together!

Old Business Continued:

 

March 17 – 19, 2005              13th Annual Gambler’s Classic – (Paul & Barbara Hudgins)

 

                                                Barbara Hudgins reported on this event.  There were 5 cars that went to Primm – Davis’, Hudgins’, Bethel’s, Slack’s and Eric (a friend of the Hudgins’).  Overall there were approximately 500 cars in attendance (just about 1,000 people).  Many events took place:  a run to Hackberry-Oatman, a poker run, lots of shopping!  During the main event on Saturday, the 50/50 pot made it to $5,000.00.  The winner took home $2,500.00.  Phil, Eric, Paul & Susie all won nice raffle prices, but Jim & Sylma got skunked!

 

                                                The weather wasn’t great but everyone had a really good time anyway.  Maybe next year we can get more people to attend!

 

                                                Thanks to Paul & Barbara for their help in getting this trip organized.

 

April 8 – 10, 2005                   25th Annual South Valley Corvettes, San Simeon Tour (Davis)

 

                                                Jim Davis reported that this year we had 19 cars travel to San Simeon.  Of course it rained, but there were no mishaps to report.  Saturday’s raffle was the best one ever.  Carmen Clemens won many, many things.  Actually quite a few members won raffle prizes.  In fact, Mary Graham won a $100.00 gift certificate to K&N which she has generously donated back to our Christmas Party raffle pool – Thanks, Mary!

 

                                                On Sunday, most everyone headed back as a group on HWY 1, making a stop at the Artichoke stand in Castroville, then lunch, then everyone continued on they way.

 

                                                This was Jim & Sylma’s last year organizing this event as they may be moving to Brown’s Valley.  So, we all know what that means, someone else will have to step up to the plate and get with Sylma right away in order to get a block of rooms held in Gilroy and San Simeon.  For anyone interested, please contact Jim or Sylma as soon as possible.

 

                                                THANKS JIM & SYLMA – A JOB WELL DONE!
