The Potter’s and the Freedman’s went to Dallas, TX in early January to attend the annual membership meeting of the Classic Car Club of America.  The headquarters hotel was an excellent Hilton close to DFW International Airport and about 20 miles from downtown Dallas.  A great venue for the more than 250 people that attended.

 

The North Texas Region of the CCCA hosted the meeting.  They did an outstanding job of arranging for several fabulous car collections and other local interesting tours.  Of course no visit to the Dallas/Ft Worth area would be complete if we did not go to the Ft. Worth Stock Yards one afternoon to see a “cattle” drive (a few worn out beefs wandering down the street) and dinner at Billy Bob’s road house.  Of course Sylvia was in her element at Billy Bob’s – Texas lass that she is!

 

The business meetings were excellent with an all members meeting at which I presented a Treasurers report and several other Board members reported to the members usual points of Club business.  Results of the election of new Directors were announced and as usual, in the seven years that I have been on the Board, was not elected.  (In the past I have been appointed to unexpired terms of other Board members who retired early)  I was asked to stay on ex officio, as Assistant Treasurer so will continue in that capacity.

 

At the meeting of the Board of Directors of the CCCA Museum, I was asked to chair that Board as President so look out; I will be putting the pressure on all of you for your membership in the CCCA Museum.

 

The best thing that happened to us at the meeting was the announcement that our George Potter was awarded BEST IN THE COUNTRY WEB MASTER and that is really something, keeping in mind that there are some 27 Regions that compete for this award.  We all owe George a big thank you as well as to commit to continue sending him good and CURRENT content to keep him on top of the regions.  The time and effort George spends on our behalf is amazing.
