Greetings
fellow Oldsmobilers! Hope you all are ready for spring are
getting those cars ready to roll!
That is of course, if spring ever decides to show up!
This is my first newsletter as President/Editor, so please
bear with me this year as I learn the ropes
and hopefully can keep the newsletter up to the standard that
Ken has set. I’ll have to get myself a
cool little caricature like Ken had, this page doesn’t
seem right without it. I've tried out a new format
and I am very interested to hear members opinions on it, good
or bad please let me know.
First of all, we all owe a huge thanks to Ken for looking after
the club. Not just for the past 17 years
he’s continually been president, but since the beginning
with the other founding members as well.
Ken has represented the club and the Oldsmobile community with
great distinction and I am very
humbled to follow his legacy. If you haven’t yet, please
reach out to Ken and thank him. We are all
very grateful for everything he has done to keep this club
successful! Ken has agreed to stay on for
a while as Treasurer to help us out, and I really appreciate
that.
The Executive Board unanimously agreed to grant Ken the permanent
position to be our
Past President Emeritus. A permanent title to honor the many
years of work he has done. Please
congratulate and thank Ken the next time you see him.

My intention this first
year as President is to learn, listen, and evolve.
First to learn how the club functions, working with
the rest of the executive to get my education is going
to be key.
I want all members to know they can reach out to me at any time if they have
any ideas/thoughts/concerns about the club, newsletter, or the yearly Rocket
Roundup.
I hope to look at small things we can do to improve
the club’s operation,
as well as ways to increase
membership and turnout at the Rocket Roundup.
In this issue, I’ve included a bit of a bio on myself. Many of you
I haven’t
met, and even fewer may not know anything at all about me. Look for
my bio page, along with some pictures of cars I’ve owned past and
present.

Rocket Round Up is
on Saturday July 18th this year at Hildebrand Motors in Olds
as
usual. I’m
looking forward to seeing everyone there and hope we have another great year.
Registration is now
live on our website. More information in this issue, and a copy of the registration
form is available to
print off from our website, oldsclub.ca . We did have to bump up the banquet
dinner costs by a
couple of dollars just to make sure we cover costs. Pricing is still very fair
in this day and age and
the meals the legion serve up are always good!
Keep it between the ditches, always drive safe and enjoy
the blacktop!
