Fall Rallye & Annual Meeting–October 25/26, 2003

A total of 28 cars participated in this fall's Rally in Door County on a beautiful fall day with lots of fall color. Starting in the small town of Institute and winding through the picturesque fields, woods and shorelines of Door County, the rally participants attempted to follow Dean Pearson's tricky, but always precise, directions until at last they finished at Maxwelton Braes Country Club restaurant thanks to the restaurant's excellent chef, Jonathon. Jonathon hurriedly arranged for our Club to have dinner there when the total number of people reached 72; too many for our original restaurant.

Sunday morning we all met at the Cherry Hill Country Club for a spectacular brunch, Rally awards and annual meeting. This year's Rally, for the first time, split into a Novice Class and an Experienced Class.

Annual Meeting

Following the awards we held our annual meeting, primarily for the purpose of electing a new Board of Directors to fill open positions. Elected to the three open positions were Colleen Lowry, Wim Vandenberg and Jerry Zajicek.

The new Board then held a brief meeting during which the following were elected as officers: Dave Anderson – President, Nancy Pearson – Vice President, Jerry Zajicek – Secretary and Rita Anderson – Treasurer. (Note: The Secretary and Treasurer are not required to be Board members, and Rita was elected as Treasurer due to her accounting skills and experience as an organization treasurer.)

Our thanks to Nancy and Dean Pearson and their many helpers who made this event a huge success. Also to Gen and Gordon Woller, who could not be present, but who hosted the Annual Meeting. Finally a special thank you to Gordy Wolfgram who did a tremendous job of helping to find our hotel, and eating places. This was certainly one of our best events in many years.
