3) Encourage becoming involved in our WRENCHES program, either as a volunteer or person needing work, need monthly Feature Cars if you have not been featured yet, along with Under Construction stories, Other Car stories (non ’55-’57 Chevy) and Photos from the Past of you and a neat car/story

5) A big part of our website and newsletter is the monthly Feature Car segment. If your car has not been featured, please contact David Graves and arrange a time when he can meet with you to take pictures of your car. We are also looking for stories that you may have concerning your ‘Other Car’ (your non ’55-’57 Chevy collector car) that you may have
6) We have a ‘Member’s Photos From The Past in our monthly newsletter where members can submit a picture of themselves in their youth hopefully with a car in the background for members to ‘guess who’ prior to reading the answer. Photos for that segment are needed.
7) Before the Close of the meeting Steve Pratt handed out door prizes to a few lucky members. Thank You Steve
