The March meeting was called to order at 7:30 PM. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by President Randy Bowser Jr. There was no member news to report. The meeting minutes were read by Bonnie McNeil. President Randy made a correction to last months notes.
St Conrad’s is having the car cruise July 14th and ask if he would assist them and BASMA will handle the advertising of the event. The dash plaques will be supplied by ( a local business.)
Approved by Joe Mudrick and seconded by T Hayes.

Treasurers report was given by Dave Harkins detailing the months beginning balance, and the expenses and income for the past month. Approved by Randy Bowser Sr and seconded by Vern Smith.

Old and New Business: There were 9 people who made the morning run to Grand Avenue Grille in Mars. Randy Bowser Sr was the winner of that mornings free breakfast. There is new management at Missing Links, Randy and Scott are working with them regarding the upcoming cruise schedule there. They are also to meet, regarding the dates for Debbie Lee’s this coming week. President Randy also mentioned again the need for volunteers or possibly committees for the various club responsibilities. The 4th of July freedom fest Chinese Auction that is a huge part of the clubs yearly fund raising, is to much for one person, so a committee could be a way to bring fresh faces and new ideas.
Dave Harkins is also looking for someone to take over the newsletter,
he would work with the person to transition into the position.

Scott and Randy are in the process of scheduling upcoming cruises, and had a copy of the schedule that will be in the next newsletter.
Also will be on carcruises.com and the clubs website.

Tom Bianculli announced a station fest celebration, July 13th 10 to 5,
by the Beaver-Lawrence Railway Historical Society. See him after the meeting for details.

Joe has Tee shirts and sweatshirts, see him after the meeting, the way the weather has been you could use both in the same week.
There were 24 members present at the meeting. The 50/50 for $42 was won by Andy Cherwaty and he donated it back to the club. The meeting adjourned at 8:09 PM.
VICE PRESIDENT: BONNIE MCNEIL

Happy Easter!!! Getting closer to car cruise season!!! Scott, myself and my dad sat with Larry Spangler and Greg to finalize Debbie Lee’s. It’s all set, he added three plus he is paying for the DJ and there is to be more food!! Things came together very well this year or Scott and myself. We do need someone to step up and do the newsletter. Since I’m back to work we also need someone to step up and take over the Chinese Auction for the freedom fest, if not we will not do it! This is going to be a topic for the board! We do have another winter beater slid in at Grand Avenue Grille coming up, then in to cars and coffee. Our first cruise is coming up at the Legion in May. Hope to see you at the meeting!! Thank You. God Bless You! President: Randy Bowser Jr
