Band Chatter Page3 January 2019 Hello Tin Lizzies,. Did we have a fun time in 2018? I think we did, although we didn t have many activities planned, it was still a fun 2018. We participated in fun tours and we even had mishaps while touring, but that is the way things go in a 100-year-old vehicle. I would like to thank everyone that attended the Christmas party in December of 2018; it was certainly nice to see you there. Special thanks to Debbie & Joe for making this get-together possible. In addition, let s acknowledge our executive board members for performing their duties excellently in 2018, keep up the good work and let s make sure we do the same in 2019. This new year, let s make sure we plan our activities, outings, tours, programs, etc. early on so we can plan accordingly throughout the year. This club and any club is as strong as its members, so I encourage you to take up a leading role this year and to get involved. The more members we get to participate in any activity will certainly make things run smoother. In addition, I would like for us to promote our club by inviting new possible members. I believe that the antique car collector hobby has been growing over these past years, it is time to get those hobbyists to become members of our club. If you are not aware, Juan & I will be taking our first, of several, Model T tours on the road. We are attending the MTFCA National Tour & Annual Meeting in Sierra Vista, Arizona on February 17-22, 2019. We are definitely looking forward to this new adventure. If anyone is interested in joining us, let us know. Till next month Rob Norberg
