April 2009MOTO MEET-ER
President Foster opened the April 12th meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance; the meeting was short and mostly pertaining to the upcoming beef and noodle dinner and the mall display of member’s vehicles May 15, 16 & 17.
Please contact Don Longer 217 446-5328 or Mike Klepp 217 354-4534 to register. Members they also need volunteers to come for 2-3 hour car sitting shifts during the hours the mall is open.
As of today there are 20 vehicles registered so plenty of spaces are available. Even if you aren’t taking a vehicle, your help watching those on display will be very much appreciated.
Don’t forget that the May14th meeting will be held at 8 p.m. in the Village Mall. Don Longer has a room set up for us, after the meeting and the mall closes, the cars will be brought in and placed.
I waited to send out the MOTO MEET-ER until after the noodle supper to report the huge success it was once again. We had members from the Ben Hur Car Club, Illini Collector Car Club, Illinois Mustang, Model T Club, and the Junk Yard Dogs representing their clubs. I hope I have not missed any others and if I have please forgive me, let me know , I will correct and include you in next months newsletter. Thanks to you all for driving the distance to share some quality time and food with us! Those working in the kitchen deserve a round of applause; that would be Mary & Wally Deck, Gerald & Shirley Quick, Ed & Dora Jameson and their granddaughter and Myron Foster. Keith and Margaret Brown were on the door selling tickets and getting everyone registered. They were kept very busy! There were 85 registered and about 20 that didn’t come back after placing their food and packages on the tables. Thanks to you all for a job well done!
A huge thank you goes out to Wally & Mary Deck for their hard work, I can testify to the work that goes into getting those noodles on your plate because last week Mary made the noodles and then Shirley Quick, Margaret Brown, myself and Mary rolled out and with the help of Wally and Ed Jameson cut them (Wally & Ed did most of the cutting ;o). Believe me; you have never seen so many noodles! After cleaning up Mary and Wally served a terrific lunch, amid our laughing and talking which we all enjoyed and appreciated very much!

March 2009 MOTO MEET-EROur March club meeting was opened with 2nd Vice President Brian Jordan leading in the Pledge of Allegiance in the absence of both Pres. Foster and 1st Vice President Mike Klepp.The two main topics of the evening were the member’s vehicle display at the mall and opening the EllsworthPark show to include vehicles other than stock.Don Longer is the chairman for the Members Mall Display which will be on the 15, 16 & 17 th. of May. The cars are to be at the mall at Garfield’s restaurant entrance Thurs. the 14th at 7:30 pm IL. time. Since that is the same night as our regular meeting Don has arranged to have a room available for the IAAC to hold the meeting there in the mall. Please, if you can help chair this display or help Don in any way, contact him at 217-446-5328.Don has the sign up sheets for registering your vehicle and car sitting, please contact him and let him know what you will be displaying and the hours you can stay with the vehicles. It takes us all to have a successful display so please, contact Don and let him know the hours and days you can be there.The officers took a vote to look into opening up the Fall car show at EllsworthPark to customs, rods and bikes. They will be in a separate part of the show grounds and will have their own participant voting for their top 10 awards. At the March 12th IAAC meeting this was discussed and with a 100% vote of those attending approved this venture. The antique car show will remain the same as in the past. As Pat said, we have known this was going to have to come to pass and it may even stimulate the growth of our club. I will pass along all information as I get it ..We would like to extend our profound thank you to Buds Electronics for all their help and sponsorship of the Art on Wheels show for the past several years. Due to the economy they reluctantly pulled that sponsorship this year.

According to her letter she is on her way to recovery even though it will take some time. We all wish you the very best Dorothy and pray for a full recovery. Dorothy added at the end of her letter; “I send my best regards to the car club”. Thanks Dorothy!
It was also brought to my attention the passing of Ruth Hale. I didn’t know her personally but understand she and her husband attended many the car shows around, were well known and very personable. We pass along our deepest sympathies to the family.Birthdays and Anniversaries For March 20093-2Ruth Pribble,3-3IlaBlackeney,3- 3Marian Hinman,3- 8Jim Frost,3- 9 Ron Reed3- 15Bill Leach,3- 24Wally Deck,3- 26Robert Warrick,3- 29Don Longer3-2Brian & Valerie Jordan,3- 26Mike & Starla Cummings,3 -29 Dave & Joan Sherrill3 -31 Lloyd & Shirley SpellmeyerPlease visit our IAAC website if you are able, Mike has done such a great job of putting it together. http://illianaantiqueautomobileclub.50megs.com/Have a great month, officers; don’t forget we have a meeting at the airport 3-3-09 ,7pm IL time.Theolinda Foster / PublicationsHome- 765-492-3735Cell 812- 208 1731

NOVEMBER 2008 IAAC MOTO-MEETER
The November meeting was opened with President Foster leading in the Pledge of Allegiance. The roll call of officers and the officer’s reports were given.We had our Pizza Party on the 14th and were a bit disappointed at the low number of members. Only 32 members were present but to those that were therewe thank you and we really did have a great time. Plenty of pizza and some terrific side dishes brought in to go along with it. Everyone was stuffed and satisfied and then came the bingo. Myron started off calling and then Keith Brown took over, we all laughed because if you yelled “bingo” Keith or Myron would holler back to go get your prize. The prizes were finally all gone and the evening came to a close, we had 4 pizzas left over and they were auctioned off with the money going back to the club. We realize there are always circumstances beyond our control and are unable to attend a meeting or event but this was the lowest number that I know of in the last 4 years attending our Pizza Party. This is done as a small way of saying thanks for being a member and in appreciation for participating in all its endeavors.Christmas Dinner, Dec 19th !! We will be having the dinner at the Days Hotel, 77 N. Gilbert St., Danville, Il.At 6 pmIl. time the doors will open and dinner will be at 6:30 Il. We will be in the banquet room upstairs; there is an elevator lift for those in need and rest rooms are on that floor as well. Keith is to be commended for all his running and phone calls to find facilities that are both nice and affordable, believe me, he had his work cut out and spent many hours negotiating to get us the best possible! The menu is Roast beef, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, salad roll, cobbler and drink. Total $19.14 each person, the club will pick up $9.14 and member will pay $10.00 each for two people.

We are counting down to our 50th anniversary as the IAAC and we are wanting all club members to participate in this event, one way to help is to start writing down suggestions for a terrific 50th celebration! This is not an everyday occurrence and one that most clubs haven’t or never will experience so put on your thinking caps and get those suggestions coming in. Bring them to a meeting where there will be a suggestion box or send them to an officer. The suggestions must be submitted in writing .This is an event that every member should be proud of so take advantage of what it stands for and participate in its activities. We have 95 members as of the newsletter and an average of 27-35 that attend meetings. We understand that work, sickness, etc. plays a large part of either attending or not but for those of you able, we need you and your input to keep the club running the way you want it to. We can’t make everyone happy but unless we know how you feel , what you want out of the club , for you to speak up with your own opinions and vote on issues, we are at a standstill.From Webster’s Dictionary-- Support: To carry the burden or weight: to take the side of: to put up with: bear, endure: uphold or helpThe IAAC needs your

The hit of the evening was Margaret Brown with her new Dell laptop!! She and her niece put together a film showing all the cars displayed at the mall display set to music. It really looked professional and was very much enjoyed, especially by Jim Chittick whose Ford kept time with music as we viewed his car and the cute ending to the film. It was fun and enjoyable with a lot of work putting this together. Thanks Margaret and thank your niece for helping out with the entertainment, we appreciated it so much!!
Ernie Jorgensen brought his best of show trophy from Art On Wheels to display. Ernie said he is happy to be a member of the IAAC.
Rod Suttle was not able to be at the meeting but sent a message to please thank each and every member that was at Lincoln Park in whatever capacity. The show was a success due to all the work done by members and the car owners that came out even though there was the threat of foul weather. Hey Rod, thank you! We wouldn’t have had the show without you and your hard work putting it together. That’s what makes out club special, we work together as a unit understanding that some are not able to help out as much as they would like to and knowing that the slack will be picked up by others. I for one am a very proud member of the IAAC and since our club keeps growing I know that every member feels the same way.
Mary Deck is having cataract surgery on her left eye Aug. 7 and her right eye Aug. 21st. We heard that Don Pribble needed a bit more surgery and John Cotton is recovering slowly from a stroke. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all! Get well soon!
If anyone is ill or knows of someone, please let me know so we can acknowledge them.
Also, if you have anything related to our club, cars, books, etc. to sell trade or swap, send a note to me and I will be happy to post it in the newsletter. Mike will also post it on the IAAC website. http://illianaantiqueautomobileclub.50megs.com/

The Village Mall Members Display on May 15- 18 was a huge success! Thursday evening the 15th, cars were all lined up and ready to enter the mall with rain coming down in buckets!! I wish you could have seen the assembly line, as a car was driving in, members standing with buckets, rags and absorbers were ready to wipe down the vehicle. Every vehicle was wiped down, driven into its parking spot and when all was done there were a lot of smiling faces! I took pictures of these busy bees and they will be at the next IAAC meeting to look at. Don Longer and Myron Foster thank each and every one of those participating in any way for their help in making this display the success it was.
June 21st, mark your calendars! Art on Wheels at Lincoln Park ! This show is put on by the IAAC and spearheaded by Rod Suttle. Last years attendance was down because of inclement weather so we are hoping this year all goes well and as many of you as can, will be there.

C. RegistrationD. Set up and hand out door prizes ,sell 50/50 tickets and help counting ballots. If you can help out please call Rod at 217- 446 8235
This is always a good show ( even in bad weather) with some beautiful cars on display and a chance to renew acquaintances as well as meet new people and admire their cars. We hope you are able to attendyour clubs first show of the year!
All the members would like to extend their thoughts and prayers to IAAC member John Cotton. John had a stroke and although doing well is unable to do some of the things he loves most. We pray for you John that you get back the eyesight needed to do what you love most, working in your machine shop and driving your antique vehicles. If at any time there is anything you need or help in any form please don’t hesitate to pick up your phone and give one (or more) of us a call!

IAAC MOTO MEET-ER - May 2008
The meeting was called to order with President Foster leading in the Pledge of Allegiance.
The beef and noodle supper was a huge success as always! Wally and Mary are to be commended for their hard work and dedication in support of the IAAC. I helped roll and cut noodles along with Margaret Brown, Shirley Quick and Dora Jameson, unless you have helped do this before, you don’t realize the work involved and Mary had everything ready to go when help showed up. I have made many noodles but I have never seen that many at one time spread out to dry in my life! Wally was right there cutting the noodles along with us and when we got done he and Mary fed us a terrific lunch and relegated some stories from years back. I didn’t realize it could be that much fun and look forward to next April and helping again. Thanks to you both Mary and Wally!!!!
Also special thanks to the following members that were able to go to the Bowman Estates open house and car show May 3rd. It was cold and blustery which I am sure caused many of the residents to stay inside rather than come out to look at the cars. Thanks go out to-Don Pribble,Phil & Myra Harper, Don Thompson, Mike Lane, Gerald Hinman, John Cotton, Don Longer, Larry Coon, Keith & Margaret Brown, Archie & Nancy Jo Quick, Jim Chittick, Theolinda Foster and Myron Foster. Phil Harpers 1930 Model A was the hit of the show with those residents that braved the cold. Phil took several for rides around the grounds and when they got out the smiles were from ear to ear, Phil’s included!!
The IAAC would like to welcome new members Timothy& Gena Massey, 28326 Henning Rd., Danville,IL. 61843 . The Massey’s own a 1974 Porsche 914 Coupe that has been restored. We hope you are able to be active and participate in club activities.
The Mall display is next week-end!We have 32 cars registered, the most we have ever had. Members, we need more of you to sign up for car sitting, if you can possibly donate 3 hours or more ,call Don Longer at 217-446 5328 or Myron Foster at 812-208 6033. The cars are going to be in every part of the mall, the more members we have the better. You must wear your IAAC name tag, if you don’t have one or need one contact, Rod Suttleat 217- 446 8235. Mall security has assured us they will be vigilant in watching the cars but they cannot be everywhere at once. Don’t forget to have your vehicles at Garfields Restaurant entrance by 8:30 pm Thurs. evening. You will be able to drive your car into the mall.
I have 3 corrections to make in the membership roster. Ila Blakeney instead of Evelyn Blakeney . Ernie Jorgensons phone numbers are 217-442 0886 & 217- 304 0160. I received a note from John Reed with his and Monty’s new telephone number, 217- 339 2291.
