My Fellow Club Members,

     I am pleased to report that our South Florida Region of AACA, will be hosting a National Show in March, 4-7, 2010.  Our club has partnered with the Homestead-Miami Speedway to hold this meet at their track.  I can tell you that the physical plant offered to us for the show is truly a first class facility, with adequate room for many show cars, a flea market, banquet hall and office space.  In addition, Homestead Main Street will also be partnering with us in support.

     Since my presidency will be ending in December, I have decided to fill the position of Meet Chairman for this event.  AACA has established National Meet
guidelines that we are required to follow.  Because there are important committees to be established, I have asked Past President, Ira Shapiro to take charge of the operations portion for this show.  This includes the following committees: Registration, Chief Judge, Chief Marshall, and Vendor/Flea Market Committee.  On the administrative side of the organization, First Vice President Greg Paiewonsky will be in charge of the Fiscal, Banquet, Club Merchandise, Trophy, and Publicity Committees.

     You will be hearing much more in the coming months concerning the details of this show.  It is extremely important for the success of this prestigious event that our club members step up and volunteer to be a part of the committees noted above.  It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and learn what is involved in producing a national show.  More important than anything else, it will provide pride to all of our club members to say that they contributed in making this show a success.  When one of the directors or committee chairmen approach you, do say yes to this very rewarding experience.

     We will be having AACA members from around the country bringing their outstanding and unusual automobiles to this show.  With the venue now decided, it is our membership that will make a favorable lasting impression for our visitors.  Do not hesitate to contact me directly or the directors noted above, should you have any questions.

I am looking forward to seeing you at our next club meeting.
