President’s Message
With the recent storm damage
inflicted on Oklahoma, the
charity we chose for the annual Car Show was indeed the
right one. The money raised
by all who participated, donated and assisted will be even
more important and impact
those who need it the most.
Rebuilding will be the focus
for many people for months
to come. Amazing how just
bringing your car to a park
and letting the public have a
look can have such a positive
impact on our community. On
May 29, 2013 the Mercedes
and Jaguar clubs presented
Rebuilding Together the results of the fund raiser in the
amount of $14,800. Smiling
faces were in abundance and
we know the money will go
a long way to assist those in
need. Photographs of the
check presentation are in this
issue and were taken at the
MB dealership.

Woolaroc/Bartlesville Excursion

Seventeen Central Oklahoma Section members gathered on Saturday, April 20 for a fun trip to the Woolaroc Museum and Wildlife Preserve and the Frank Phillips Home in Bartlesville. The weather was good and we all had a great time. Our travelers were

The trip started at the usual place – the Cracker Barrel on I-35. A few of us enjoyed breakfast there before the rest of the
j first stop was the Tidal School Winery at Drumright. From there we drove up scenic Oklahoma highways to
group arrived. Our
Woolaroc. On the drive in, the wild animals were out - emus, wapiti, water buffalo, ostriches, zebra, wild sheep and llamas. We
enjoyed a casual lunch at the snack bar before going to visit the lodge overlooking the lake and then the museum. The lodge
was fun with lots of animal heads hanging from the walls. The museum was interesting and not crowded. From Woolaroc we
drove on to Bartlesville.
After a short drive through downtown, we stopped for a quick visit of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Price Tower. Upon arrival at the Frank
Phillips Home, we were able to park our cars in the circular driveway for photos. A charming guide took us through this historic
house.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the day’s outing. From Bartlesville everyone took their own way home. Bill Nash, Ed and I met our
old friend Bruce Smith for dinner in Tulsa.

AND THE WINNER IS……
The winner is the Mercedes-Benz Club of Oklahoma City for having members that enjoy showing their
cars. Saturday May 11 brought incredibly nice weather and with it the opportunity to show your cars and
show you did. There were more that two dozen cars registered starting with a couple beauties such as
a 1952 Black 220 from Jim Taheri and a 1954 Silver Blue 300SL from John Bowers all the way up to the

AMG that our new Regional Director Gene Jurick brought
from Texas with everything in between. Some tops up, some tops down and all glistening in the bright
sunlight showing off to the hordes of people enjoying a walk in the park. Another winning aspect of the
Show was having
more Mercedes-Benz cars presented than the Jaguar Club presented. This is by far
j
our Clubs largest event of the year and still growing. This should be something all members will want to
get involved in.
I would also like to say a sincere Thank You to the members who volunteered their time to assist in helping make the show an overwhelming success. Thank You to Ed and Peggy Hoag, Jack Finks, Charles
Woods, Bill Nash, Masood Khan, Greg Morgan and Jeff Leatherock for attending meetings and assisting
in the planning phase. Thank You to Matthew Haire and David McLendon for getting all the cars parked
in their assigned slots. Thank You to Fred Reinhardt and Don Daniels for helping with cooking duties and
Judith Daniels, Barbara Reinhardt, Ken Hoffman and Mike Dippel for working in the food tent. I really
appreciate you helping to make the Concours operate smoothly.
Each year I contact several companies and receive donated items that I use to build goodie bags for
each of the members that take the time to bring their car to the show. The goodie bag is something I like
to do as a personal
