March 2014 Crankshaft Journal The News Letter of the Central Fraser Valley Chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Canada 1 Minutes of the General Meeting held March 5, 2014 for the Central Fraser Valley Chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Canada. Meeting was opened at 7:35 by President Rick Unger. Guest tonight is Jim Lions, Treasurer of the Historic downtown Car Show. He brought posters for August 23, 2014. The proceeds are to help Matthew’s House and bring public awareness to the Downtown Business Area with a Poker Walk and prizes. Guest Speakers tonight are Sid and Daphne Johnson along with Donna Kathlow from South Fraser Way and Clearbrook McDonalds. They spoke about the work they do to raise funds for both Ronald McDonald House and Matthew’s House and asked if we as a group would be interested in being involved by participating in a Car Show. Ron Eyben will liaise with Donna. Motion to accept previous month’s minutes as amended; moved by Ron Eyben, seconded by Ray Lamb, all in favour. Treasurer’s report was read by Rick. There are still funds coming in from membership fees. Correspondence; KMS flyer, Model A Sunday posters and Revelstoke 2014 registration forms. A large poster was brought forward by Ian and Doreen Newby sponsoring the July 18 – 20th Aldergrove Fair Days. This year’s theme is tractors. The car and tractor show is free on Friday night at the Aldergrove High School. With more fun and entertainment all weekend. Membership; Ron and Pat are finally back from Phoenix and report that we have 87 members as of tonight with Terry Adamson and Keith Jackman being our 2 newest members. Name tag drawn was Ron Eyben, congratulations Ron, sorry about the skinny pot, it’s Frank’s fault for winning last month.

April 26 and 27, the 2nd Annual Country Car Show at Otter Co-op. Volunteer sign-up sheets are being passed around so please sign up. Parking help and food and games help are needed. Everything is on track, with John J going to the Tradex with posters to advertise the upcoming event. Thank you to John’s nephew for making up the large corrugated plastic posters for us with the layout Cam did up. We have the use of ½ of the Credit Union parking lot for Saturday and all of it for Sunday. May is still open for a Car run and don’t forget the 2014 May Tour in Revelstoke, May 16 – 19th. June 1 is Model A Sunday, posters are available at the front table. There are lots of events coming up, please check Harrison’s List for a full rundown on them. May Tour 2015 is 14 months from now; The theme for the tour will be ’57. A donation request letter has been drafted. There is a question about having an open Car Show. Do we want to let the public around the cars? There are concerns about people touching the cars and possible damage done. Bob brought up the issue of support. As we are asking local businesses and their owners to support us, can we really shut them out or, as a club whose mission is to bring people into our hobby, are we doing the hobby and ourselves a disservice by telling the public they aren’t invited in. Cindy has suggested that we have a car show as has been done at other May Tours but not to specifically advertise it. The majority of membership tonight seemed to be in favour of allowing the public in without advertising. Cam Hutchins has the logo done and Bill Trant has put together registration forms for us with only a few additions to make. Bill wants to have 175 printed and ready to take to Revelstoke in May to start taking registration deposits. In the SVA report Earl sent to all members by email, there was a notice that the Provincial Government has proclaimed July 12, 2014 specifically and the month of July as Collector Car Appreciation Day and Month. This was done to acknowledge the hobbyists for the contributions made to various charities and the economy, the joy and encouragement brought to seniors and youth. We will find out if the National committee is doing anything in support of this. The Proclamation is available for everyone to see on the web-site. SVA AGM is on March 22, 2014 in Burnaby. Nigel Matthew’s will continue as president for another year. At this point we are presenting year bars at the end of the anniversary year instead of the beginning but now that the data has been brought up to date, we will begin presenting the year bars at the beginning of the anniversary year. Registration is complete so in the next month or so the year bars for 2014 will be handed out. 3 Tonight we present for 2013, to Doreen and Ian Newby – 10 years and Art and Vicky Hoock – 30 years. Congratulations to both of you and thank you for your years of support. Also presented tonight, to Gordon Taylor, past-presidents bar and to Rick Unger, Presidents bar. For the good of the organization, tokens of appreciation to Don and Lilah Warren, and Leroy and Jean Clingwall. Fortin’s will be sending out email offers to our members as part of the Group promo. Birthday greetings read out by Jeanette Wright for January, February and March. Happy Birthday to all of you!

Tools or Expertise You Would be Willing to Share Name Bob Ferenczi Leroy Clingwall Phone 604-615-1908 604-859-4537 Tools or Expertise Inspection Camera Engine Hoist, various pullers, (ask me) Equipment Inventory Over the years the club has purchased a variety of items like signs, canopies, coffee making equipment and many other things. We, the present executive, do not know what we own or where it is located. This would save us from making duplicate purchases and also, if anyone wanted to borrow something we would know who to talk to. I will attempt to create an equipment list and publish it monthly in the Crankshaft Journal so everyone knows what we own and how to access it. This will take a while to establish and I cannot do it without everyone’s help. I will start the list and hopefully you can let me know if you have anything that belongs to the club.
