Fellow FCC members:
Our March club meeting went
well, and it appears that many plans are in the works for a great cruise night season. Larry Claypool and I attended the Frankfort Village Board meeting the same night as the club meeting to become informed about proposals regarding the paving of the Chamber grass lot. We use the lot for overflow parking on cruise nights, and the village uses it at Fall Fest for vendors. A diagram showed a proposed layout of entrances and parking spaces. Paving of the lot is still under design, with berms, lights, and speakers all under consideration. No exact construction date is known at this time. Sketches were also on display of the proposed new stage area. That project will start soon after Fall Fest in September.
Larry and I also met with the Chief of Police in regard to the Camp Quality procedures. We talked about changing the date to Wednesday, August 7`h, which met with approval. We also proposed a new route, and the Chief offered that two officers could lead/tail us on our cruise route with the kids. We took a test run which lasted about 18 minutes. The officers would have control of the 2 traffic stop lights we need to cross. Camp Quality suggested that club members meet as a group away from the camp then arrive as a group at the camp to pick up the campers. We will talk again with the chief and report back to you with all procedures before the event.
The garage tour turned into a double header, thanks to Larry Claypool and Dave Mosier. We started at Carriage House Auto Restoration in New Lenox. Bill McCauley gave us a great tour and answered many questions.
This is high quality shop, wonderfully clean with high quality cars.
Our next stop, or what Larry called a bonus, was a short trip to SRIII Motor Sports, a FCC advertiser. Mike Stockdale's shop specializes in fabrication of Corvette frames and assemblies. You can drop your body on and drive away! Mike took us through the entire operation in detail. Just when you thought the tour was complete, Larry pulled another rabbit out of his hat: we're off to Portillo's for lunch!
Bob O'Connor worked with his cruise night committee and together they hammered out the schedule for the cruise season. Items needed to kick off the season were reviewed. Dave Hecker and Ron Bernier went over the Sponsorship and Advertising issues as Rich Plummer is taking some time off for health reasons. We're looking forward to having him back soon. Rich has given us a great start in advertisers and renewals.
Karen O'Connor reported the Scholarship applications are coming in slowly. At this point, we only have two from four schools.
Have you been to the FCC web-site lately? Larry Claypool has posted some pictures with some great captions, check back often for his updates.
,See you at the next meeting, April 10th.
