2008 CLUB EVENT HISTORY
Our first meeting for 2008 was held at the Clearfield Winger's Restaurant, 12 Jan. Our primary focus of the meeting was
to update the club bylaws. This was an important meeting for the club. Several changes were sugested and voted on by the club
members present. A lot of work was put into this project by several members and club officers. Final drafting of the bylaws
and adding the requirements for the club becoming incorperated should be completed and ready for distrubtion to the club members
by the next meeting.
We held our March meeting at Tio's Mexican Restaurant in Murray. There was a good turnout of new and long time
members. Along with the normal club business topics, we held our first truck model contest. The display of car
and truck models was very impressive, the contest was lots of fun. We also had a guest speaker from a local Chevrolet Dealership.
The topic was about "crate" motors and high performance Chevy parts. It was a very interesting and informative discussion.
As always we enjoyed good food with friends and the display of trucks in the parking lot after the meeting.
Our May meeting was held at a club members home in their new garage. There was a large turn out of members and guests.We
all had a great time. The food that Lupe made for everyone was wonderful. The weather was perfect for all the trucks
and cars that were lined up at the end of the street for the neighborhood and members to enjoy. Eric showed a slide presentation
on the 1954 Chevy Truck line using original film from that era.
We held our annual club picnic at a new location in Centerville 2 Aug. Everyone had a good time. The weather, food, and
fellowship as always was excellant. We had a small turnout of trucks there this year. Probably due to the hot weather and
high gas prices. Phil brought his new SS model HHR Chevy instead of his 59 GMC pickup. But the HHR was interesting to
check out. We all got a chance to meet some new members and win prizes playing fun games as well.
Our Sep. meeting was at Tio's Restaurant in Murray. The main topic of discussion was about the club members participating
in local car show events. As a club our group participation at local events has been down this year. Maybe gas prices and
the ever increasing number of shows to choose from has contributed to this. Hopefully we will show up in force at the "Hugs
for Life" Charity event in Oct.
Our Club members showed up in force at the "Hugs for Life" Charity event car show held at the Murray Park 18 Oct. There
was about 400 vehicles in the show, 14 belonged to our club members. Our club and several club members donated funds and their
time to this very important cause. It was a wonderful day for a car show. The weather was absolutely fantastic considering
it snowed a week earlier.
We held our last club meeting of the year at the Clearfield Winger's Restaurant 8 Nov. The main topic of discussion was
the upcoming election for club officers. Several members volunteered to run for office to lead our club for the next two years.
We are all grateful for those who are willing to keep the club going and to help it grow stronger. Our club wishes
everyone a very happy holiday season and a wonderful new year.
