Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Three Kings Day, Have a great whatever you celebrate and if you don’t celebrate anything just make it a good Monday morning. I hope that you receive something Coca-Cola related this holiday season. I remember the shock on some attendees faces when on my Wedding Day there was a slightly dented Coca-Cola toy taxi sitting on my gift table. (OK they were more shocked by the 4’ x 3’ velvet Elvis picture, but THAT’S another story) For me the Coke Taxi was MUCH more appreciated than the 3 toasters we got. I’ve posted a long message elsewhere in this newsletter. It’s an important read concerning future conventions and a MUST READ if you are joining us in Iowa which is looking like it will be one to remember for sure! Happy Collecting, Bill
It has been a busy fall in the VP district with Korea, Italy and Spain Chapters all hosting events. From all of the pictures posted from the events it looks like everyone had a wonderful time. One attendee at the Korea event posted “More than all the Coke items, the friendships made are price- less.” I think anyone who has been to a Chapter or National event would echo those sentiments. As 2017 draws to a close Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Seasons Greetings to all and best wishes to everyone for a happy and healthy 2018 filled with many more collecting stories. Elizabeth
In this Season of Giving many chapters have Christmas parties planned. If you are not already doing so, why not incorporate a donation to a local charity. Have a silent auction with all winning bids being donated or ask for donations for the Food Shelf or Toys for Tots. It’s a simple gesture that will make a big impact to those less fortunate than yourself. Also, if you have not received my latest update, please ask your Chapter Presi- dent to send it to you. Merry Christmas, Ann
In October we had the new Board’s first meeting in Bettendorf, the site of next year’s convention. I believe we accomplished a lot and I must say that I believe we have an excellent Board, and I look forward to working with everyone for the next two years! Remember to register early for Springtime in Atlanta and Smokeyfest in Pi- geon Forge, TN. If you need more information on either let me know. The Holidays are approaching fast and I know that means a lot of our mem- bers will be traveling to visit with family and friends, I would just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone safe travels and a Happy Holiday Season!
Until next time! Happy Collecting! Garry
The Coca-Cola Collectors News 4 December 2017 HISTORY farm was in ruins and Asa did his share of reclaim- ing the land and getting the farm working once again. At the same time Asa attended public school and supplemented his education with pharmaceuti- cal studies. At the age of twenty-one he went to Atlanta, GA and began work in a drug store and re- mained until November of 1873. It was at this time that his father died and he returned home to take charge of the family farm. When it was possible to leave the farm, he re- turned to Atlanta and in 1878 made his first start in business. Also in January of the same year, he mar- ried Lucy Elizabeth Howard, and they would have a total of five children: Charles, Asa Jr, Lucy, Wal- ter, and Wil- liam. (Lucy passed away on February 22, 1919 and Asa married Mary Ragin Asa Griggs Candler Little on June 1923.) By: Sharon Shanholtzer
Asa Griggs Candler was born on December 30, 1851 in Villa Rica, Georgia and was eighth of eleven children born to Samuel C. Candler and Martha Bernetta (Beall) Candler.
It was in April of 1888 that Asa first became con- nected with the manufacturing of Coca-Cola. He had begun buying portions of the Company in April when Walker, Candler & Company purchased the one third share held by John Pemberton for $550. Three days later he purchased the remaining inter- ests which had been held by two investors, Wollfork Asa Candler was ten years old when the Civil War Walker and his sister Mrs. M.C.

Candler even initiated one of the first ever celeb- rity endorse- ments when he contracted Hilda Clark and Lillian Nordica.

The event lasted 5 days and was a airfield. In 1923, Mayor Walter Sims turned to huge success with record crowds turning in for the newly elected alderman, William Hartsfield to find that site. Hartsfield suggested Candler’s former race track, and two years later, Candler negotiated a five-year, rent-free lease. The first hanger was built in 1926 by Doug Davis, and within months several other buildings were constructed. Then on Septem- ber 15, 1926 the first scheduled airline services from Atlanta took place. A crowd of 15,000 turned up to witness the historic event when a Florida Airways plane departed for Jacksonville and Miami. 200 mile race. Once the event was over, the bud- get and cost of operating the race were tallied. The totals showed it was not as profitable as Candler had hoped. The track was kept open until 1911 by host- ing air races, motorcycle shows, and other events. The track was eventually shuttered, the grandstands were removed and the place was abandoned. Candler’s interest turned to other avenues and he was elected the 41st Mayor of Atlanta in 1916. During his administra- tion which ran to 1919, he balanced the city’s budget and helped in reconstruction of the city after much of Atlanta had been destroyed in the Great Fire of 1917. In 1919 he gave most of his stock in The Coca-Cola Company to his children. They later sold it to a group of investors led by Ernest Woodruff. Candler, in 1922, donated 50 acres of his Druid Hills holdings to the City of Atlanta, this would become known as Candler Park.

During a cross-country tour, Charles Lindbergh visited the airport on October 11, 1927. Lindbergh was met by local dignitaries and then escorted to downtown Atlanta for a parade in his honor. He gave a speech to a crowd of 20,000 at Georgia Tech’s Grant Field promoting the development of commercial flights and Air Mail services. His

His visit was a major motivator for the New York and Chicago. rapid expansion of Candler Field in the 1930’s Asa Candler suffered a stroke in 1926. He was in poor health for the last two and a half years of his life which he spent at the hospital he had endowed, the Wesley Memorial Hospital. On March 12, 1929 Asa died at the age of 78.
Asa Candler’s life had a huge influence on the city of Atlanta. From marketing and promotion, to car racing, the Atlanta Airport, and all the donations and business dealings he was involved with over his lifetime, he certainly left a mark in the pages of Atlanta’s history books. So when you associate Asa Candler with the foun- dation of The Coca-Cola Company, you can now associate his name with so much more. Thanks to a great man and his vision and generosity.

I have to give my thanks to all of the former boards and presidents for fighting to hold that line.

Those spaces are charged for and not readily available at many hotels.

ALL of the main events will be IN or NEAREST to the NORTH TOWER. The rooms are all larger in the North Tower than the South. That said – there are more double/ doubles in the South Tower. If you come to the front desk and DEMAND a double/double you have a very good chance of landing in the South Tower. If you are not selling, and don’t mind a VERY short stroll to the North Tower for events. That should be fine. If you want to be in the tower with the events and are selling wait to get into the North Tower. You might not get a double/double but you’ll be in the main area for room hopping. The BIG NEWS - NO Chapters Night. Due to the hotel being a casino hotel there are NO games of chance allowed. That includes local Chapters having drawings, games or raffles. This includes tickets sold in your rooms, at the Swap Meet - wherever. This is a STRICTLY enforced state law with heavy fines and punishment for you and the club. If you have any questions about what you are planning to do (the answer is most likely no) but check with Elizabeth or me in advance of even bringing it to the convention. The National has to obtain a gaming license before we can even have the event. This is not a club rule that can be overlooked. The gaming commission WILL be attending and observing our events. At this time the club does not have “an official bail bondsmen of The Coca-Cola Collectors Club” so don’t try.

Taken From: Coca-Cola Journey - www.coca-colacompany.com/stories/coca-cola-chocolate-chip-cookies Ingredients: 2 ¼ Cups all purpose flour ½ Teaspoon salt ½ Teaspoon baking soda ⅓ Cup dark brown sugar, packed 1 Cup granulated sugar ½ Cup butter 1 egg 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract 6 Tablespoons Coca-Cola 1 Cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda until combined, set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugars at medium speed until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until incorporated. Add the Coca-Cola, 1 tablespoon at a time, until fully incorporated. Then add the flour mixture and mix at low speed until a smooth dough forms. Stir in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Use a tablespoon to scoop out the dough and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing the cookies about 3 inches apart from each other. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 14-16 minutes or until the cookies are very lightly golden around the edges. Remove from the oven and allow to cool until they’re warm enough to handle, then remove them from the baking sheet and serve.
