July 2017 Traveling in the Past and Present Tallahassee Region Antique Automobile Club of America Next Meeting July 11, 2017 Old Auto Museum Dinner 6:00 pm General Meeting 6:45 pm Club Officers President Ken Hart Vice President Phil Reichert TALLAHASSEE REGION, AACA MEETING MINUTES June 13, 2017 The Old Tallahassee Auto Museum There were approximately 37 members and guests present at this meeting. Pledge to the Flag: Everyone Moment of Silence: Ken Hart asked for a moment of silence. Welcome: Ken Hart welcomed everybody including a new member, Richard Shelfer. 50/50 Drawing: Joe Wells The winner was Bob Newman. Program: None this month. Announcements & Reports: Ken Hart announced that recently, the National AACA asked we would be interested in hosting the Southeastern National Winter Meet in February, 2018. This request was based on our experience in hosting the successful Southeastern Fall Meet in October, 2003. The Executive Board met on June 12 and discussed the ramifications involved including the short time left for planning, the amount of member involvement needed, and our scheduled Honor Flight Show in March, 2018. After much discussion about the above, the Board decided not to pursue this and present it to the club as information. Of course, if the Club wanted to take this on, we would proceed. The most persuasive argument concerning this was that the Club spent almost two years to plan and put on the 2003 Meet.
