Due to the overwhelming response to the Cherry Hill Car Wash and Detailing offer, I will be handing out cards to the ten members that express interest.I will have more cards available to any other member that may become interested, at a later date.
This is a great offer for those who like to keep a clean and good looking vehicle.
Thanks,

Little Thank You from the Vice President
Dear Members,
I would like to thank those of you that volunteered your homes, Sanford & Linda, Dick & Pat along with John & Carol so that the club could enjoy our annual Progressive Club Dinner. I would also like to thank those who helped with the wonderful variety of food they were delightful. Last but not least, thanks to all the members that participated by joining in on the fun filled day.
Regards,

Hi Follow Member’s,
Just a few lines about our 3,500 mile excursion through six states and lord knows how many towns and cities. We had a awesome trip.We visited Mount Rushmore (not in any order) and the on going work of Chief Sitting Bull, the Devils Tower which Jan and I got in trouble for.Taking a walk around the base of it which was about a mile and everyone got upset because it was a bit cold and they had to wait for us. We took a great tour of Yellowstone which consisted of some fantastic water falls and wildlife; we took the narrow gauge train ride from Durango to Silverton which was fantastic.We spent sometime in Deadwood. Unfortunately Jan received a call about her mother, so Jan and Paul had to return home thank goodness Jan’s mother is going to be okay. Bobs Corvette had a couple of problems in the beginning such as a axle seal gave way which through some oil and a fuel sensor which caused Bobs fuel gauge to show empty when it reached a half a tank. The other two Vette’s made it fine. We missed all of you and wished you could have made the trip with us, well maybe next time. We’re thinking of a trip for next year!!!

Hi! Follow member’s, just a short note about the club’s “Chili Fest” at Hal Vatcher’s home. The event really turned out to be fun, even though it was a bit cool and we lost several table cloth’s due to the wind! There were approximately 26 members in attendance, a lot of pleasant conversation and a lot of fantastic “Chili” and other great tasting food. John Balicki rode his new Motorcycle to the event, and dress in shorts too boot!
It was a fun day for those that attended and I felt sorry for those who couldn’t make it, well maybe next year. And to Hal, Thank very much for volunteering your home again this year.

To all of the SWC members of the 2009-10 year……………….
It has been my pleasure to have served you in the capacity of Vice President
during this past year. And while there is really a lot of time and effort that this position requires, I hope that I have successfully fulfilled the requirements and then some. We have had some very lively meetings, some very fun activities and have enjoyed getting together for our social gatherings as well as our annual special events. The Annual Awards/Officer’s Installation Banquet is one of them, and the next one is rapidly approaching, and will be held in April. The Chili Fest and Christmas Party are also highlights of the past and upcoming year. This next year we are adding a barbecue and the annual Progressive Dinner rounds out the major activities.
Whether or not I continue in this position, may I just say that I have enjoyed my tenure as your Vice President and may we all have a very successful and enjoyable upcoming year.
