Old Business
Gayle Hanshaw reported on plans for a joint picnic with the
Meadowlark Model A club from the Omaha area. After
discussion of several options the group suggested that
Gayle contact the Omaha group about a joint breakfast/
brunch or early picnic on Saturday, Sept. 13 at Mahoney
Park. It was agreed that the socialization last year was a
good experience and the setting was a good one.
It was also a consensus of the group that if the Meadowlarks
host the Regional Meet in 2017 some of our members would
be willing to assist.
New Business

Margaret as a representative of CMAFC regarding a request
for assistance in preparing her father’s 1930 4 door Model A

From your President……..
Dean & I had a great time over in Amana, IA
at Model A Day. Despite the threat of rain
for the weekend, 82 Model A’s lined the
street. The Model A gods were shining down
on us, and it never did rain. This event, plus
the state fair, interfered with us attending
several Club events. Thank you to those who
provided me with information for the
newsletter. Events are winding down for the
year with two or three remaining, our last
being the Christmas Party.
