REBELS AUTO CLUB
NEWSLETTER
NOVEMBER 2014
President’s Message
Hello fellow rebels.
It's that time of year when we all make the transition between holidays as we go from Halloween right into Thanksgiving. It's a wonderful time of year. The trees have turned
different colors and the weather is cool but we are still able
to get out and do something in the yard. Get the leafs
picked up and outside ready to the winter and snow. The
fall is great as it brings Thanksgiving and the feeling of
friendship and fellowship towards others. As a club I think
we have a lot to be thankful for this past year. We have
been able to continue to give back to the community as we
have in the past years. We have made some new friends
and new members over the year. This is the time of year
that brings families together. Time to slow down the outside activities and just enjoy the company of your loved
ones and friends as the temps start to get colder. Let's reflect and give thanks for what we have and what we cherish, family and friends.
We had a great turn out for the 50s rock and roll party on
the 25th. I would like to thank Bill and Linda Masters for
hosting the party at their house. I would also like to thank
Jana & and Bailey and all those that helped with setup and
the decorations. They were fantastic and made the night
rather fun. Thanks to all those that helped set up and
those that showed up to tear down and clean up the next
day. As always there is more to the activities besides just
showing up. We had good food and good music all night
and it was a great time with fellow Rebels and friends.

NEXT MEETING
It is also that time of year that we need to elect some new
board members. Please let the nomination committee or a
board member know if you or someone you know would like
to run. It's a great way to get involved with the club and all
the activities and a chance to make a difference in what the
club does.

One car of choice was a beautiful black 1957 Chevy. Somehow it just followed him home
from Colorado one Tuesday morning. Plans were made to do cool things to this car and make
it part of our family.
By Tuesday of the next week this 57 was following someone else and going back to Colo.
WHERE did that silver 57 come from? Wow parked out front with no warning the 1957 BelAir. Within one week we bought and sold two 57's.
The silver is here to stay. It now has a new engine, (the first one could do the salt
flats) A little calmer now for the old folks. Things are good now and were rolling along.
Just a few set-backs along the way. Thanks to good friends with pickups and tow ropes.
The door locks were put in to keep everyone out even the guy with the key. Many unmentionable words and broken glass later we were in.... Thanks again to good people who understand the difference between ORIGINAL and AFTER MARKET. Now they work like a charm.
Now if we can find the keys.
Rumor has it that a certain Silver
1957 Bel-Air, Mr. Rod and grandson
Asher were seen cruising "O" St.
And even made the 10/11 news. We
really love this car and think we'll
keep it.
Oh ya another has been following Mr.
Rod around lately... Who knows!!!
Mr. Rod should check his garage.
Mrs. Rod may be going on a cruise of
her own.
Footnote by Editor Jim Jensen
Rod and I go way back to grade
school at Randolph Elementary.
Those were the days. And yes I
think we both had my mother as one
of our teachers. And yes I do have
a picture of Rod way back when.
Back then Rod was known as little

The favorite is all the homemade cookies. Please bring
frozen so we can seal them easier. From there think of
things your family likes for snacks and buy extra when
you shop for the troops. Personal hygiene items, small
games, wet wipes, sunflower seeds etc. You have all done
a great job in the past and you will do it again. If you
know a solider you would like to receive a care package
please email or mail the address to Sandy at
[email protected]. She will get labels started for us.
Dustin and Jana would be glad to answer any questions
about this gathering for our armed forces. One of our Rebel members is serving Brian Nystrom. Keep him and all
our soldiers in your prayers.
Join for an afternoon of giving back to our armed forces
that are giving so much. For those interested we will go
out to eat and relax after the packages are done and
ready to mail.
Thank you, Jana & Dustin
