MESSAGE FROM YOUR PRESIDENT FOR JUNE

What can I say….sure can’t complain about the weather. What a great change. If summer is anything like our spring, we are in for a good ride. These past weekends have been chalked full of things to do. Shows, shows and more shows. This past Saturday was packed full. Great turnout at the Breakfast cruise, counted 35 people and signed up 2 new members at the restaurant. The Camano Hill road opening was a good time too, especially when we did not follow the route and headed to Cama Beach State park and the half dozen or so cars behind us followed us in. I can see the headlines now… “Twin City Idlers Steal the Parade”. What a great place to hang out at the beach. Then off to the benefit for Harold Cox, we got there the time the organizers wanted us there but it was about 2 hours early. When the music finally started it was good. There is still a fair amount of work to complete for our show and Sandy and Kathy have a car show meeting set up for this Thursday, June 4th. Things will smooth out and get back to a semi normal state after June 28th. Be sure to look at the calendar that Sandy will have in the newsletter and mark down the date for a lunch cruise to Winthrop coming up in August. I hope that all the wax is rubbed off and everything is all polished up and ready to go…. “Let’s Roll….and remember, Smokem’ if you can and if you can’t just keep on Looking Good.

Your President, Les Anderson.

HOT ROD HALL OF FAME

It’s not everyday that a Twin City Idlers club member is inducted into a Hall of Fame!! That, however, is exactly what happened to our own David Gibson at the Washington State Hot Rod Hall Of Fame Banquet on April 25th. David was one of only eight inductees at this years ceremony held in Tacoma in front of a packed house of nearly 300 attendees. It was a surprise to David as Hall Of Fame member Lonnie Meadows announced David’s name last. The award recognizes many years of dedication to the hobby/sport we all love and enjoy and the rodding community. David has been involved, for instance, in charity car shows for more than 25 years and has been a major part of the Cruzin’ to Colby show since its inception.
Other Notable inductees at this years ceremonies included Art Morrison (of chassis making fame), Marlin Lannoye (Apple Run) and Tom Armstrong (well known collector and racer of vintage race cars). In addition a number of car clubs were recognized for special awards. Four clubs received awards for having been active for at least fifty consecutive years. The Hall Of Fame is dedicated to rodders and clubs in the State of Washington. Hall of Fame officials announced next year’s event will be even bigger and better anticipating 500 attendees at larger facilities.
