Thanks to the West Jefferson Fire Department Station 1 for hosting us on Sunday. The meeting was followed by a late lunch at El Centinela in Braselton which is also now a club sponsor.
Welcome to new members Jake Johnson, DJ DuVan and Rob Thompson that attended the meeting.
Here are a few of the members cars. Kevin Evans’ Falcon was selected by the Firefighters as their favorite.
The 2023 after Christmas Party was held on Jan 14th in Braselton Ga. We had a nice turnout with plenty of good food to eat. As always, the white elephant gift exchange was a lot of fun with many interesting gifts.
We also had our first meeting to kick off the new year. After 4 successful years as club president, Steve Harrison introduced Suzanne Newsom as the new club president. Suzanne spent most of last year as the club vice-president. Also many thanks to Gary Dyck and Richard Rider for devoting their time as board members over the last two years.
Matt Gaffney will assume the role as vice-president and Will Lippman is the new secretary.
Below Steve Harrison awards the President’s Pin to Gary and Kim. Suzanne takes home a nice chrome mustang and Steve has some new models to build. Just a couple of items from the gift exchange.
Steve Introduces Suzanne as the new president and Gary presents an appreciation gift to Jan and Steve for all the hard work they have put in over the last 4 years.
Also the beautiful 69 Mach1 belonging to Gary and Linda Plate was selected as the February Car of the Month.
Here are some of the photos taken by Ronn at our meeting held at Gateway Classic Cars.
We will have our next meeting at Jackie Jones Ford in Cleveland, GA after the Toys for Tots shopping event which is scheduled for December 4th.
We will be cruising from Quick Trip at 3446 Mundy Mill Rd, Gainesville, GA 30507 (close to the intersection of 985 and Hwy 53) leaving promptly at 8:30 am to arriving at the Walmart in Cleveland, GA (260 Donald E Thurmond Pkwy, Cleveland, GA 30528) shortly before 10:00 am.
After we shop and display the toys at Jacky Jones Ford, we will have our December club meeting at the dealership.
If you want to meet us at Walmart, we plan on arriving before 10:00 am.
Wear your blue club T-shirts and bring chairs for the meeting
Our first meeting for 2021 was a huge success. We had close to 40 people in attendance and 15 cars on the cruise. We discussed many things happening with the club and how well the membership is going. As of today we have 104 members, way ahead of last years membership on this date. We also went over the calendar that was sent out prior to the meeting and the events we plan on attending this year. We have 16 members that answered my email stating they were attending the MCA event at Road Atlanta in April.
Three new members attended the meeting, Nathan Jenkins, Chris Ring and Tim Ochipa. Welcome to the club!
The new board members were introduced, Shirley Rider Treasurer and Gary Dyck Secretary.
The annual awards were handed out to members that achieved over 100 points that are necessary to receive pins. There were 14 recipients this year.
The three Prestige Award winners were:
Take a look at the awards program on the NEGMC website to see how you can receive your pin or win the Prestige Award this year. The awards program will be reset starting with this meeting going forward.
The cruise was awesome, as always, thanks to Gary Dyck for planning our route. We managed to stay together throughout the cruise, which made the cruise even more fun. Ronn and Will were able to take some incredible pictures. Their Mustang was running very strong as Ronn passed everyone while Will was taking pictures of all the cars on Hwy 365. As we drove through Helen people were taking pictures of our cars. It’s always fun to see a string of Mustangs coming down the road. What a a great day to cruise as we were not the only club out for the day. We saw a Corvette club and passed a 4Runner club out cruising, as well.
