1 REBELS AUTO CLUB NEWSLETTER February, 2018 THE PRESIDENT S GARAGE Hello All, Welcome to this month's President's Garage. What a great Rebels Christmas Party we had, lots of great food, fun, and fellowship were shared. The Hot Rod Season is not too far away regardless of what that Crazy Groundhog thinks. The Car Club Council Directory will be out soon, and many of us will be hitting various car shows, and this is the perfect time for us as Rebel's Members, to promote our Club, and Car Show. We'll have flyers available for us to hand out at the various shows we attend. I'm looking forward to the ideas that our Car Show Committee is coming up with for our Show. What I would like to ask, is for all of us to think about the things that makes us want to go to a certain car show, over another one. This year we're competing with the Good Guys Heartland Nationals in Des Moines, Iowa which is being held that same weekend. Granted that's a huge National Show, and a lot of people attend that show regularly, I worked that show 3 years in a row for Speedway Motors, and it's a big show for the Midwest. We need to find something that will set us apart from the other shows that day, that's why we need everyone's help in making our show, better and better each year. So let's put our heads together and have a show that will be talked about all year long. I look forward to seeing everyone at our next meeting. See You Then!!
