President’s Message

Rich Dobson

President, OCMTFC

Greetings!


This month’s “general meeting” falls on Valentine’s Day, February 14th.  We have a special program planned for you that night.  A barbershop quartet from the Orange Empire Chorus will be on hand to serenade you.  It should be a fun evening.


Club tour wise, we’re off to a slower start than I hoped for as a result of inclement weather.  We had to cancel our January “Model T Inspection Tour”  because of rain.  However, I’m happy to report that this important beginning of the year car safety inspection outing has been rescheduled for Saturday, February 18th, same times and same place.  Check for details in this issue of the “Flivver.”


Tour Director, Van Schultz has many more fun tours planned for the year.  In March, we are looking forward to an overnight camping tour to Lake Perris for the annual “Teardrop Trailer Gathering.”  In May, we are planning a drive to Flo’s Airport Cafe in Chino for breakfast.  We are even looking into a “Segway” (two-wheeled, self-balancing transportation machine) driving tour in June.


And, don’t forget the upcoming regional “California Dreamin’ Tour” sponsored by our Club, April 22 thru 27.  We already have 44 of the 60 spaces filled for this Buellton, CA “hub tour.”  So check this one out before its too late.  See Dave Seiler or Barbara Moody for registration details.


There will be plenty of additional Model T activities for you to participate in the next few months.   The San Diego and Bakersfield swap meets.  (FYI, our Club swap meet is scheduled for June 30th.)  There are home tours coming up in April and May, upcoming cars shows, women’s teas, etc.  And don’t forget the weekly “work parties” at the Dan Diaz de Leon garage, an opportunity to repair and/or get advice on how to repair or maintain your T.  We’ll try to keep you up to date on all these happenings and more.  Whew!  If you want to stay busy in this hobby, it’s easy to do. 


Finally, want to let you know that our “Club Auction” is planned for this year as well on Saturday, September 22nd.  Looking forward to that.


Until our next get together , enjoy and I hope to see you on the road, in your Model T’s, with BIG SMILES   on your faces.
