The July meeting was called to order at 7:30 pm, the Pledge of Allegiance was led by President Randy Bowser Jr. The meeting minutes were read by Bonnie McNeil, approved by Joe Mudrick & seconded by Bob Kaylor. Dave Harkins gave the treasurers report, detailing the past months income and expenses. Approved by Bob Kaylor and seconded by T. Hayes. Randy thanked everyone that volunteered, worked, and donated items to the Chinese Auction at the 4th of July show.
Honda North and Diehls will be given plaques of recognition for their sponsorship and donations to the 4th show. There were a total of 100 vehicles in attendance. The subject of the July Legion cruise, that was canceled due to the prediction of inclement weather, was addressed by Pres. Randy. The club president does not make the decision, regarding cruise cancellations. The Legion Ladys Auxiliary is the decision maker. They need to know two days prior to the day of the cruise, so they can buy, prepare the quantity of food and have people to work at the counter to serve us. So generally the decision is made on a Saturday or Sunday, not the day of the cruise, that turned out to be sunny. The decision for cancellations at Missing Links cruises are made by Lee Ann, as they are the food and entertainment providers. Scott went over the club cruise schedule, local cruises and some a distance away. Check out the club website and carcruises.com Butch received a thank you letter from the Butler County Vo-tech for the yearly club scholarship donation. He also has additional cash raffle tickets, if you need more see him after the meeting. There were 25 members in attendance, the 50/50 for $41 was won by Keith Bartholomew.
The meeting adjourned at 8:05 pm.

Hello folks!! Here is a rundown from the month of July! The Freedom Fest was a little lite, 100 vehicles on the dot, it was hot and we had other events to go against! Now our Legion cruise was canceled and the Ladies make the call not me, they call me! What I do like about Marie, the new lady in charge, she waits till the morning of the event, not a day or two before! I have no control if they want to cancel so I do not need members calling me and complaining. St Conrad’s, it was another hot one and going against Worthington, we still had over 90 vehicles, nice turn out! Missing Links hot, very hot and it turned out pretty good with over 50 vehicles! So July worked out pretty decent for us! We as a club and board are in discussion about making the freedom fest into a car cruise!! Still have the Chinese auction with it and for a fee your dash plaque and a little goody bag. Like I said, it’s in discussion! Hard to believe we are in August, hopefully see you at our Legion cruise, club meeting and Missing Links! Just a friendly reminder, this is your club and you make it what it is!!
Thank You & God Bless President Randy Jr
