A Word From the Vice-President Here are the details of what was discussed at the recent club meeting: Club Dues: These were due as of January 1st and are valid through December 31st. The charge for dues will happily remain at $30 per year for 2008. Club T-shirts: We plan on having a batch of 50 “Big Bad Buick” style T-shirts produced. Their sizes will range from medium through “XX” Any other sizes will be required to be special ordered. You can email me your size(s) if needed. The club will only charge $15 for any of the regular sizes. These should be available at the next club meeting. Also available by special order only are Golf shirts with the LSPBC logo on the front chest. Cost for each of these will be finalized at a later date. I predict that they will be somewhere in the $20 to $30 range depending on your size requirements. You can email your requests to me for these as well at [email protected]. Next club meeting: The next club meeting will be held at PAPA's BBQ on Saturday, March 29th at 6:30pm.

Paul Alberti, Bryan’s father, has allowed the club to store it at his shop in Midlothian during the construction process. I will submit a parts list of what is needed and what we have another time. We did have some more parts pledged at the last meeting to add to the list. A set of ported heads, a fiberglass bumper, a set of T-Type rims and slicks. There are also going to be items on the car that we will not need. These will be sold on Ebay and the money will go back in to the car.
