What's Happening-

Our next meeting will be Tuesday, April 6th at Mr. Ed's at the Elks Club. We will be on the left side of the large banquet room. Come at 6pm if you want to have dinner, the meeting starts at 7pm.  

 

Last month at our meeting we voted on some changes to the By-Laws. One of the changes was to Section 3. The section reads as follows and the underlined portion was voted on to be removed:  The Walla Walla Cruisers as an entity reserves the right to refuse membership to any person(s). Disqualification of members from club: No person shall be allowed to consume alcoholic beverages at a club function, or be under the influence of illegal drugs. Any member whose behavior that is deemed to be inappropriate, shall be asked to leave said function. If the person refuses to leave he/she will be disqualified from membership and a letter will be sent from the Club stating the reason, and dues will not be refunded.   

 

We also voted on whether to change Section 5-Scholarships. It states If finances are available the general membership will select and vote on two different entities who will be the recipients of an agreed upon amount.  We have been giving to more then 2 for several years now. Although it doesn't say we CAN'T give to more than tow, we wanted to re-word this so there is no confusion and so that we can continue to give to more than two entities at the end of the year if we wish to do so. So the revision will read as follows:  If finances are available the general membership will select and vote on one or more entities who will be the recipients of an agreed upon amount.

 

Hey, check out below!! The cruise-in schedule has been finalized!! The cruise committee has been very busy and they have put together some different locations for our Friday night cruise-ins, and some new places for some breakfast cruise-ins as well. We also have several club show-n-shines scheduled at our local sponsors. They donated most of our raffles at our year end party (some were private donations) at no cost to the club. The show-n-shines is our way of giving back to them for all of those donations so please consider attending as they come along throughout the year.  And remember, our first cruise is coming up very soon on April 2nd at Tiki Teriyaki. Hope to see you all there!

 

On another note, the club is having a yard sale on Saturday, May 22nd.  It will be in the Banner Bank Parking lot on Isaacs next to Albertsons. Thanks to Bonnie Bowton for getting us permission to use their parking lot.  So if you have some stuff to donate to the club for the yard sale, contact Shanny. We also need volunteers to help out.

 

Lastly, Edna Kirk, the lady that did our club jackets and now has been awarded the contract to provide our t-shirts, has come up with a wall clock with our Cruisers logo on it. She dropped one off at Shanny's and she will have it at the next meeting so everyone can see. She (Edna) is selling them for $20.
