Memphis Street Rods

“Drive Line”

 

With 58 members and guests in attendance, the meeting for September, 2025 was held at the Southaven Library. Ms. We feasted on Fried Chicken, Baked Beans and Slaw and about 4 different kinds of cake! Good Vittles!!

Before The meeting I asked if anyone had gone to see the new comedy movie named “Constipation”! After everyone said they had not! I said “well that figures because it hasn’t come out yet!” (think about it!)

Johnny then turned the floor over to Glenn Colley. He came to ask that we, as a club, please support the show they are having at Walls, Mississippi Oct. 11th. They raise money for the “Feed my Lambs” charity. This Charity helps to feed grade school aged children from the area who don’t have much to eat from Friday after school until Monday when school starts back up! They make sure each child has enough food for the weekend. He was also selling tickets for a chance to win a restored “78 chevy pick-up! We, as a club donated $500 to the Charity!

 Johnny opened the meeting by welcoming everyone and thanking those who prepared the vittles. He then read of the birthdays for September. We voted in a new member Sonny Grisham. He has made his required 4 meetings in a row, he brought cash…………so we voted him in! I think he’s gonna make us a good club member! Johnny also announced that the club won two “Club Participation trophies” over the weekend. One at the Piperton Fund raiser and one for the Sardis Show.

The majority of the meeting was dedicated to going over things concerning the show. Work schedules were discussed and well as changes to the way we are doing registration and entry points for the cars. The kick-off party will be held Friday night in the big tent and food will be available. He Said/She Said will be playing 60’s & 70’s music from 7:00pm thru 9:00pm. The Poker walk will be under the big tent as well as       all the games. Tables under the tent will also be available all weekend for eating or just getting out of the weather (sun)(rain)

For the pic-a-prize drawing we had three companies donate five really nice items. Three from Hamilton-Beech, one from Weimer’s Jewelers and one from Bartlett Small Engine!

Auto Zone has once again donated most of what is given away over the weekend. They continue to be our biggest sponsor, along with Landers Auto Group and the West Memphis Tourist Commission.

We distributed all the club members and wives show shirts, and showed a sample of the artwork for the shirts we will sell at the show.

Money winners for the month of July were: Greg Boren winning $100.00, Shannon Decembrino winning $75.00 and Rob Wilkins (alias Wilson) winning $75.00.

Those in need of prayer

Let’s continue to remember Terry Bogue and his family in the loss of his wife Connie and healing for Terry. Let’s also remember jerry Cox as he recovers from Pneumonia.

HUMOR

A blind guy walks into a bar one day, taps his way to the bar and sits down. The bartender comes over and asks what he would like. The blind guy’s say’s ”bring me a beer and when you come back I have a great blonde joke for ya.” The bartender brings him a beer and says “ look, I know you are blind, but I gotta tell ya, the guy sitting next to you is a biker, he’s solid muscle about 6’ 5”and he is blonde, the guy on the other side of you is a professional wrestler, he also is big and solid muscle and blonde and just so you know, I am a retired Marine Recon and I have blond hair also! So, are you sure you want to tell that blonde joke? The blind guy’s think’s a minute and says “No, I don’t have time to explain it three times!”
