We have the 2006 Car Show date, Sunday, August 20 th, set and firm. Vice Pres. Chris had a long visit with Ray Gallo regarding sponsorship and the show. Ray was happy to hear of the theme for this year. He did not yet give the final commitment to sponsor us, but he is 99.5% there (We will probably want to send Ray some type of car show financial report with the disbursement of the monies). Vice President, Chris, submitted a Car Show Chairman listing he would like to start filling in for the show. He also was wondering if/who would be contacting someone from the military to be present. Suggestion was to start with Jeannie Schneider. President, Dick put out some food for thought and mentioned perhaps we should have phone cards on hand to give the military personnel the day of the show. The monies would be from the 2005 profits. 5/6 Dust Off Your Car Run Tom Walther 5/7 Regular Monthly Meeting 7/1 Liberty fest Parade Means 7/27-30 Vettes on the Rockies Breckenridge 8/20 SEWCC Car Show 8/23-28 Carlisle 8/27 Racine Zoo Classic Car and Bike Show 9/4 MDA Car Show-Classy Cruisers 9/14-16 Mid-America Fun Fest Effingham 9/23-24 Lake Geneva Poker Run UPCOMING EVENTS YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN MARCH 2006 March 17 th, 2006 6PM til???

It searches for the truth as best it can, and even when it feels reasonably certain of what's true, remains open to rational argument. Open minds tend to be creative, because they seek out options and use them in innovative ways. The open mind is able to flow with the ambiguities and paradoxes of life. Instead of fighting these things, the open mind acknowledges and honors them and moves forward into awareness and constructive use of them.
