Food4Kids: Ernie Brandes
Thank you, Tom, and Linda Jones, who picked up food bags at Interfaith and delivered them to
Harbour View Elementary School. Art Roy will be doing the same in November. In the past few
years, the program grew to serve 2000 children annually, but as Interfaith’s donor base has
declined and food costs have risen, we have had to limit the number of students accepted in the
program to 1500 this school year. As a club, we have a donation basket at the sign-in table for
monetary donations monthly to supplement the program.
Election Committee: Rosalee D’Altilio
Tonight is the last time for nominations or volunteers for any officer position to be on the ballot
for 2026. The upcoming candidates were announced as President, Mike Stone; Vice President,
Tina Farabee; Secretary, Joyce Stone; Treasurer Jack Carroll; Member at Large, Mark Pettus;
Member at Large, Ron Supancic. As no nominations or volunteers have come forward at this
meeting, the upcoming candidates will be as stated.
Car Show: Nick D’Altilio
All committee leaders have their teams and are ready to go. A schedule has been made up and
will be available for all team leaders and their team as needed. A schedule of events has been
included in the registration packets and will be handed out at the Greeter’s Tent. Set-up time is
6:30 a.m. Please be at Dillard’s Parking Lot at that time to help. Donuts and coffee are available.
There are 123 cars registered plus day of show cars that could bring us close to 150 cars. We are
asking that no tents, tables, or chairs be taken down until the cars have left the parking lot and
the Good-Bye team is through. Scrolls have been made explaining “Save the Wave” as posted on
our website and will be passed out by the Good-Bye team.
One final thing is I would like to thank Roger Peterson for putting together a manual detailing
every step needed to ensure a successful car show. He put in a lot of time dotting the I’s and
crossing the T’s; Thank you Roger!
