BOARD’S CORNER
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and are ready for the fun that this
year will bring.
On January 3rd many of you took the opportunity to enjoy the first car show of the year — the Winter Rod and
Speed Show in Albany. From all the pictures on Facebook; it looks like there was a great turnout and plenty of classics to admire!
Hopefully OFC will have monthly activities that we can enjoy as a club...in March we’ll have a chili feed and Rod is
planning a mystery cruise sometime this spring.
Let the fun begin!!

Old Business
Operation Santa 2014 — There was a good turnout for this event at Center 50+ on November 22nd. Connie was very appreciative of
our club showing up to help for the last several years. After finishing, members and friends went to Almost Home for lunch.
Spirit Mountain Brunch — What a great turnout we had; about 50 members and friends. Enjoyed the good food and then went in to
sample the Chocolate Decadence Show that was going on that day.
Cruise-In Report
It has been decided that we will not do a cruise-in for 2015. We will restructure and see how things go this year.
New Business
Santa Cruise — Saturday, December 6th at the Stayton Fire Department. As always, entry fee is a new unwrapped toy. This is for a
great cause, the food is excellent and it’s nice to get out with our classics for a few hours.
Christmas Party — It is December 7th at the Fire Hall. Adam’s Rib will be catering it. The club decided on a menu that includes tri tip,
smoked turkey, red potatoes, and other side dishes. Mike Adams will provide the table cloths for the food tables, plates, napkins and
utensils. The club will provides cloths for the eating tables and drinks (pepsi, pepsi, pepsi). Members should also bring their favorite
dessert to share. You may also want to bring containers to take home any leftovers from the meal. There will be a gift exchange at
the party. Please bring a new item from $15 to $20 for each club member per household.
Albany Winter Rod & Speed Show — It will be on Saturday, January 3rd. Set up will be on Friday. This is a very worthwhile charity
event so hopefully you can attend. There will be a $300 club participation award.

New Business (cont)
Mystery Cruise — Rod B. is working on a mystery cruise to take place in the spring. He says you will need a full tank of gas and
lunch money. He will be doing a test run of the route so he can let us know how far it is so those with less than fuel efficient cars
can plan gas station stops.
Keizer Parade of Lights — This event is on Saturday, December 13th and begins at 7:00 p.m.
Winter Rod and Speed Show — This show is on January 3rd in Albany. Get your entries in soon as this show fills up quite fast.
Other Business
Board of Directors — We will only have two directors. Bert and Rod will be co-directors of the club for 2015. Bert’s position will be up
at the end of that year and Rod’s the year after, 2016. That gives everyone time to decide if they would like to be the next co-chair.
Club Items — Those members that have club items (banners, utensils, signs, etc.) NEED TO TAKE INVENTORY AND BRING THAT LIST
WITH THEM TO THE JANUARY BREAKFAST MEETING so it can be decided what will be done with it all. We may raffle off some of the
items.
Breakfast Meetings — Our January meeting will be on January 10th at Schroeder’s Guest House. Hope to see you there.
Money Jar — A name in the money jar was pulled and it was Jim & Cheryl who were not in attendance.
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.
