PRESIDENT’S COLUMN

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. It has been another joyful year, with a lot of rewarding events taking place. The Gold Coast Rods car club has again shown the Central Coast community and surrounding areas that we are all about giving back to the community. Our extra curricular activities, driving the Coca-Cola executives from Bernardus Lodge to Pebble Beach, (in the rain) gave us an international feather in our cap. Also everyone who participated in various car shows under the Gold Coast Rods colors shows our strength as a club. I want to personally thank everyone for supporting the club Board Members to produce a successful year.

We’ll see you in 2014, please have a safe and joyous holiday.

DONATION RECIPIENTS FOR 2014

Please put forward your personal suggestions for our 2014 donations to charity. Try to keep it a local recipient. We’d like to make our presence felt here in Monterey County. We need the official name of your suggestion, their address, and the name & phone number of the POC for that group or entity.

Each suggestion will be placed in the hat and based upon our financial status we will divide the monies that we end up with after paying our bills and keeping a nest egg to start next year’s activities

You can e-mail any board member your suggestion or give it to them at a meeting. Don’t delay. 2014 is rushing by at an alarming pace.

If we do not receive your suggestion in a timely manner it will not be considered.

BON VOYAGE

We said good bye to Les as he left the board. He & Margo are great folks and worked very hard to help our club. I look forward to seeing them as much as possible in the future.

A GOOD IDEA

Want a super idea for a holiday or football snack? Try getting dips from this company. They are easy and taste wonderful. It’s a family owned business. I get nothing from them so this is altruistic.
