Hello Everyone -

Happy Holidays – ‘tis the season to be jolly…. ‘eh? I hope this finds you all gearing up for a fantastic holiday season! The last few months have flown by as usual and I find myself thinking, is it Halloween, no wait, Thanskgiving, no Christmas time already?!?

Well, it seemed like just yesterday a whole bunch of us were in Saugatuck having a fabulous time at the Dunes Resort oogling cars and the “menz”. It seemed as if all who attended that event had a terrific time – our hats go off to the Michiana Region for hosting such a fine and fun event year after year. For those of you who have not attended the Something About Saugatuck regional event held in September, I encourage you to do so next year – you will not be disappointed.

In October, Wayne Jorgensen and Paul Safransky did a wonderful job hosting our Fall Driving Tour to Plano, IL to tour the Farnsworth House, designed by Mies Van Der Rohe. What a glorious sun filled day we had which made for a truly enjoyable drive through the country and tour of the house. Thanks again Wayne and Paul – what a nice event!

Also in October, Jeff Stockman and Michael Gendek hosted our “first annual” Lake Michigan Region Halloween Party. From what I hear, the costumes were quite a sight to behold and showed plenty of… person-ality! All had a great time so word is we all need to be ready for next years party – it’s a definite go! Look for more details later in this issue.

In November, Jim, Mark, Jeff and I met to review this past years’ events, plan out next years’ calendar and go over the usual club business. The 2010 calendar filled up very quickly and I am pleased to report there is at least one event planned for each month next year, trying to split the events between Saturdays and Sundays. We’ve been keeping a pulse on what people say they like to do, and we are hopeful the 2010 calendar reflects that. And just to keep everything fresh, we added an event or two that we have not done previously (rock-N-roll bowling anyone in the dead of winter!?!?). Anyhow, check out our events page on our website http://www.lcclmr.org/events.html for more details on 2010. And, it goes without saying (well, maybe not so here it goes…), please let us know about things you think the club may like to do and if it makes sense to do, we’ll get them on the calendar - we’re always looking for good crowd pleasing activities! It is our hope that the club is providing plenty of action for all of you to participate in! Also, I wanted to mention that in March at the annual banquet, we will vote to confirm officer positions. All current officers have expressed they are happy to continue in their roles, however, we invite the membership to consider helping out or serving in a official role. Please contact me if you have interest in becoming involved in club leadership activities.

Finally, by the time you get this, you probably will be at or have already attended the annual Holiday Party at Larry and my place. We will have a full report of all the fun and games in our next issue.

May you all have a wonderful holiday season and a new year filled with happiness, peace, prosperity and health. I look forward to seeing you all at an event soon!
