WVSR Membership Meeting

The meeting was called to order by President Dave LeCompte at 7:03 pm, followed by everyone reciting the Pledge of
Allegiance.

OFFICER REPORTS
President (Dave LeCompte): It’s great to see folks at all the swap meets and car shows.
Vice President (Nicolle Geck): absent
Secretary (Heather Bethel): The club By-Laws are under review at the Officers’ Meeting. There are no changes to
them, other than basic grammar, spelling, and format. After going online and looking through By-Laws being used by other classic car clubs, Heather typed up a separate page with additional options that will be reviewed by the Officers to
see if any of them would be relevant to our club and could be voted on by our membership for inclusion in the WVSR ByLaws. Heather also reminded the membership about the “Idea Book” that the Classy Chassis came up with at their meeting. If anyone has any ideas, and they don’t want to speak up at the meeting, they can write them down in the “Idea
Book”. After each membership meeting, Heather will go through the book and pass along any ideas to the appropriate
person. For example, if it is an idea about the Christmas Party, the idea(s) will be passed along to Linda Spansel.
Treasurer (Paul Geck): absent.

be formed and then it must be voted on by the membership. Bob Lewis said we already had a committee discuss this

Cruise to Portland Transmission Warehouse & Papa’s Toys shows
We met up at the Brooks exit and John Stanton lead us to the PDX Tranny Show. It must have been too early for the
light weights. We only had 3 cars and a milk truck. John knows the direct route real good since we drove right to it with
no detours or site seeing. There must have been over 400 cars parked on both sides of the street for 4 or 5 square
blocks. We couldn't find spots to park together so we split up. We got there at 7 AM and I was parked 4 blocks away. 10
AM we joined up and cruised through downtown Portland to Papa's Toys in Cornelius. The sunshine had all the cars out.
The parking lot was jammed full of street rods and specials cars. The spectators had parked both sides of the road for 4
blocks out. After we left Papa's Toys we went over to A & M Customs, had hot dogs and sodas, checked out all the builds
going on there. This is an amazing place for fabrication work. There was some real radical cars being built. We left A & M

Jefferson 2nd Annual Flower Festival Show & Shine
What a fantastic day at the Jefferson Flower Festival Show. They closed down Main Street. It was full of cars, food vendors and all kinds of potted flower vendors. The car show was supposed to start at 10 AM. We arrived at 8 AM to find
most of the street already filled with parked street rods. We did end up getting good parking spots, though. The Fireman's breakfast had eggs, fried or scrambled, ham, OJ, milk and 2 pancakes for 5 Bucks (free if preregistered). Really
tasty. Ray B was whining cause it wasn't on his diet..smile emoticon The petting zoo was also a big hit.There were over 100
cars there basking in the sunshine. A lot of really nice cars I've never seen before. Jim Palmquist won the Best Import
with his Ghia (Jim, where there any others?). Nick Hoosier won the Best Orphan (not sure if it was for his milk
truck.smile emoticon ) One of our Carousel Cruise sponsors, Travis Sowers won the Best of Show with his bright red 70?
