Guests:  No guests tonight.  The Rowlands were in attendance though; we haven’t seen them in a while, welcome back.  Steve and Jean Thomas were also here which is wonderful to see since Jean is battling brain cancer that was diagnosed shortly after they joined RCC.  She is fighting hard and looking great and wanted to say thanks for all the support they have received during this difficult time.  Our prayers are with you Jean!!

-Jerry Weese updated us on the car show on Feb 13 & 14 at the Oregon State Fairgrounds.  $10 to get in, Ladies are free on Sunday.  This is an invitation only car show and once your car is invited you can never get invited again.  Jerry and Anna received one of those invites this year and we are very happy and proud of them.  Lets go on down and show our support for fellow members!!

-Discussion was held about our meeting place.  The Members car pictures were taken down by Sunshine Pizza sparking further concern about our ability to continue to meet there.  Jerry is looking into the Elks but wanted in put on which area would be best.  Jeff B suggested putting together a list of 6 or so places to start with.  We are looking for a no cost solution.  Pat Connors offered up space at JC Motors.  John Moist suggested Clackamas Town Center.  Many members suggested sitting down w/ Brian and getting down to the true issue.  Roger and John will have a face to face with Brian.

New Cars:  MaryHelen Parfitt got herself a new computer rig-sadly it’s not a Corvette but it is a Chevy.  She purchased an Equinox. Nice!
