“A” Note from the President
Hello,
I hope everyone had a great holiday season. I know we did, its always more fun with a
grandchild around. With the holidays behind us it’s time to look ahead at the club calendar. We still need help with our club swap meet at the Washington county fairgrounds.
If you can help out please contact the Schaefers and let them know what you can do.
This is our clubs big fund raiser of the year so the more help we get the more we all
benefit as club members.
The new board of directors is now in place and we have two new members, Karry Kultgen is our new
indoor chairperson and Randy Kind is our new vice president. We are glad to have them serving on
the board with us this term. I would like to thank Dave Boucher and Paul Piotrowski for their time
served on the board. Our new treasurer is Steve Lewis taking over for Paul, Dave Huenink is our
club secretary and Neil Besougloff is our outdoor chairperson and I am the president. I look forward
to another good year for our club.
We have two more indoor events planned for this season, then we are on to the outdoor events for
the season. We still need a host for our April tour so if you want to host the kickoff tour of the year
please contact Neil and let him know. There are still some open dates for the summer season so if
you have an idea for a tour you still have time to sign up. Looking towards the fall indoor season we
have open dates for all activities November 2015 through March of 2016 so feel free to contact Karry
and sign up for an event.
I think that’s it for this month as always if you have any questions or concerns call me anytime.
Thanks,
Mike

Comments from the Prez (1993, Bob Heinrich)
Congratulations to Dave Boucher, Tom Burgermeister, and Ed Schultz for being elected to
the board. Thanks to Gary Gillen and Dennis Haag for their time on the board and service to
the Wisconsin Chapter.
The car show/swap meet lost $50 instead of making money. The main reason being the rain
storm before the show started.
The ladies pages, by Burdella Miller, included recipes for ‘Be Mine Brownie Cake’, and ‘Hug Me
Fudge’. (if you are interested in a recipe, email me and I’ll gladly send it to you.) Household hints:
the yolks of eggs, left over when baking requires the whites only, if dropped into a pan of boiling and
salted water will cook and be ready for a salad. To banish the odor of fish from your hands, rub
them with a mixture of lemon juice and salt.

From ‘Loose Lug Nuts’ –
“Shocking Developments:” A few months back we reported about electric vehicle development.
Wire we concerned about electric cars? Soon we’ll all have electric vehicles at ohm. We’re just trying to generate some interest over current events and spark a little conversation. Stop showing resistance, this shouldn’t
polarize our club because its watts going to happen in the future. Soon we’ll all have to switch.
Electric cars will be part of the show car circuit. Don’t worry, you’ll have ample time to plug in and
then you can light the way.
