| I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU ARE NOW FINALLY EXPERIENCING SOME CABIN FEVER AND WISHING THAT GROUNDHOG HAD SOMETHING NEW TO SAY LIKE AN EARLY SPRING, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN WHEN OUR THOUGHTS TURN TO SPRING AND YES, OF COURSE, CRUISING IN OUR CARS. THAT MEANS IT'S TIME FOR OUR ANNUAL MEETING AND TIME TO PAY OUR DUES. OUR CLUB RUNS ON A VERY TIGHT BUDGET. AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE JUST A CLUB AND NON-PROFIT. THE DUES ARE COLLECTED SO THAT WE MAY SEND YOU A NEWSLETTER EVERY MONTH WITH A CALENDAR OF EVENTS. THE DUES GO FOR PRINTING AND POSTAGE TO DO OUR MAILINGS. WE ALSO FROM TIME TO TIME SEND FLOWERS, OR FRUIT BASKETS SHOULD A MEMBER BE SERIOUSLY ILL OR SHOULD A MEMBER OR SPOUSE PASS AWAY. ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF OUR PLACQUES ON CRUISE NIGHT GO INTO OPERATING OUR SATURDAY NIGHT CRUISE NIGHT. THIS MONEY IS USED TO BY DOOR PRIZES AND GOODIES FOR THE CHILDREN WHICH ARE ALWAYS FREE TO THEM. THIS GOES INTO MAKING A FUN FAMILY NIGHT FOR EVERYONE. WE USED TO DO A 50/50 EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS PRACTICE IS NOT ALLOWED. THAT MONEY USED TO GO TO LOCAL CHARITIES SUCH AS HELPING CHILDREN WITH CANCER, SEVERAL CHILDREN WHO NEEDED CRITICAL OPERATIONS, AS WELL AS HELPING A SINGLE MOM HEAT HER HOME ONE WINTER. SINCE WE ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO RUN THE 50/50, WE WILL HAVE TO COME UP WITH OTHER WAYS THROUGH YOUR DONATIONS TO HELP THESE CHILDREN OR FAMILIES IN NEED. WE HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT PUTTING OUT A DONATION JAR AT OUR HEAD TABLE. OF COURSE, WE HAVE DONE OTHER CHARITABLE THINGS AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. ONE OF COURSE IS OUR ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE AT THE SUSSEX A&P AS WELL AS DONATING ALL THE TOYS AT CHRISTMAS AT OUR ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PARTY. OTHER CHARITABLE THINGS SUCH AS CRUISING TO NURSING HOMES WILL ALSO CONTINUE. THAT IS ANOTHER AREA THAT SOME OF OUR MONEY FROM THE 50/50 USED TO GO TOO. WE WOULD BUY GIFTS FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE NURSING HOMES. IT'S ASHAME THAT SO MUCH OF THE GOOD WE HAVE BEEN CREDITED HAS TO COME TO AN END, BUT IT'S BECAUSE OF A COMPLAINT FROM AN UPSET INDIVIDUAL THAT WAS AT ONE OF OUR CRUISE NIGHTS. HE SHOULD BE PROUD OF HURTING ALL THOSE WHO HAD BEEN HELPED. |
| I AM DELETING ALL CAR CORRAL POSTS FROM THE PREVIOUS YEARS AT THIS TIME. IT'S TIME TO DO SOME SPRING CLEANING. PLEASE SEND ANY NEW ADS TO ME AT THE ABOVE YAHOO ADDRESS, AND I WILL GLADLY POST THEM. AGAIN, I WILL PUT A THREE MONTH OR 90 LIMIT TO THEM UNLESS YOU NOTIFY ME TO EXTEND IT LONGER. NO ONE EVER GETS BACK TO ME TO LET ME KNOW WHEN A CAR OR PART AS BEEN SOLD SO THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP IT CLEAN. |
