Memphis Street Rods

Drive Line

Johnny opened the meeting by welcoming our guest, and thanking the crew for the food. This included Tommy Boren, Coley Armstrong, Tim Williams, Greg Boren, Raymondo Montgomery, Keith Walter and Mike Hill. Anytime we meet at the Shake Shack we are treated like family and we feast on catfish, fries, slaw, hush puppies and tomato pickle with homemade fried pies and ice cream for dessert. The food was absolutely awesome.

After welcoming everyone Johnny gave a quick update on where we are with the show. Everything is on go as far as we know. We are going over to the printer after July 4th. to order the shirts for the show. That way if someone wants to order a show shirt early they can do so online.

He then brought up the June meeting and asked if everyone was happy with the location and overall success with the event. We had 52 cars at the meeting and after pigging out on BBQ with all the fixins, pictures were taken of all the cars by a guy with a drone. My understanding is they didn’t turn out very good, so we plan to do another club shoot after our show in September. We also plan to do another picnic style meeting at the same place only in May of next year, only without the drone!!

I was asked to include in the newsletter a plea for more members to volunteer to attend the Nationals in Louisville. Between fewer members going, and some of those who do go just stand and aren’t much help, we barely have enough to man our booth properly. So, if you can see a way clear to go this year and help out it will be greatly appreciated.

Larry then took the floor and reported that we still have money! He also gave the club an update on his granddaughter. She steadily making progress and although she is improving it’s going to be a long road to recovery.

Money winners for the month of July were: Jay Beeson winning $85.00 and Raymondo Montgomery winning $85.00!     Larry McMurry won the $100 drawing for those who drove their street rods to the meeting.

Remember: The August 5th.  meeting will be at Wally Hatchets in Bartlett!

HUMOR

This sounds about right!

400 passengers but only 200 meals were loaded onto a flight from Delhi to New York City. It was discovered after takeoff, when the flight attendants started going through their preparations to serve the meals. So, the airline had bungled, and the crew was in a fix. However, one smart flight attendant had an idea. A couple of hours into the flight she nervously “Ladies and Gentlemen, we don’t know how this happened, but we have 400 souls on board and only 200 meals! Anyone willing to give up their meal, will receive unlimited free liquor for the duration of the flight! Her next announcement came six hours later. It was as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen, if anyone wants to change their mind, we still have 180 meals still available!
