February
2007

From the Presidents PC,

Last year I wrote on the state of our club, I feel this year it’s fine. We are small in number but size doesn’t matter, it’s heart that counts. We have at this time 22 members, not a big number but we get things done. Last year we put on a very successful car show for our first one. We have tech nights going on Tuesday and Thursday, others are in the works. Our members are giving of their precious time. I know it’s hard to volunteer for club positions but we have officers in place for the coming year.

For those of you that weren’t at the January meeting I made an announcement that this is my last year as president. It’s time for new blood and new ideas. I will do the car show thing for this is what I love to do.

Strong bonds are made at tech nights, I know, I know, here he goes again on the tech nights, but it’s true. Try one and you will see, even if it’s giving advice and having conversation and a snack. Rewards come in return for those who give. This is what it’s all about.

Stay warm and healthy,
Bill Sablosky
President FLCCC
