Meeting: 23 November 2004

Welcomed Visitors:

Treasurer's Report:
The check for Ronald McDonald House has been delivered.

Reviewed minutes from previous meeting.

Old Business:
It was brought up again about the plaque for the owner of Gray Rock ORP for all his hard work. The club voted to authorize $50 for a plaque.

It was also brought up about a plaque for Milton/Dodge for all the great service that they have given to the club this year, with car wash's and assistance. The club voted to authorize $50 for a plaque for them. Ed Stork was going to take the lead on getting the plaques made.

Of course Jay was in royal form tonight getting a much required "Shut Up Jay" 4 times.

Ed informed the club that he still has T-shirts and stickers, though only in limited numbers at the moment. The business that used to do this for the club was sold to Brown Sporting Goods. Ed has talked to the new owners and it's reported that nothing should change. So once they are set up and running we'll be back in business with T-shirts and stickers.

Redneck parade has changed for this year. You now need to register on-line with a fee of $30. You will be given a number and that is where you will be lining up. The club did not agree with this so will not be participating as a group this year.

An annual trip to Gray Rock was discussed at length, and it was decided that we would go with a springtime event, with Fall being a back up time for White Sands. No official date given, that will be determined as we get closer.

Think about where we want to do the club Christmas party. This is a members only.

November Events:
6 Nov - Milton Ride. Ed is the ride leader. Very good turn out for the ride. Extra care had to be taken because of all the ATV's and Motorcycles out there, they do not pay attention to what is on the trails. Lots to ride and do even after the storm. Ed made certain that everyone knew he suffered major carnage (lost the rubber bushing from the transmission shifter). Of course Tom decided to once again break while leaving the ride.

20 Nov - Crestview Ride. Ray is the ride leader. Cancelled due to inability to reach the owner.

New Business:
Change to club meeting, they will now be held on the last tuesday of the month, no adjustments like before.

The Moon and Planets aligned again to have Chris and Pam grace our meeting. Chris was adamant in letting everyone know that he bought a 93 Grand Cherokee with power seats, air, etc, etc... Thanks for letting us know (multiple times). Shut Up Chris.

Nancy brought a warning to keep your eye on your Jeep when you are at Pensacola Beach. There has been a rash of vehicles being stolen there.

Pictures, stories and write-ups were once again brought up for the website. No one has contributed anything to date for the site. Contact Ron for the email address to send the pictures to.

The riding in the area has become limited. The club is looking for more places to ride.

Statement of the Night: Shane "My Jeep is not all there!"
