To continue getting meeting notices and photos, it is a good idea to periodically sign in at a KMC car club meeting, or to say HI ! in the newsletter, so that we know you are still interested. And if your interest goes away, just tell us "Get me the hell out of those meeting notices!"
and it will happen. lol

On Sept 19 2020 The KMC 3rd Saturday meeting was at 17649 Gunn Hwy and Van Dyke Road 33556 in the Winn Dixie parking lot. 10AM till Noon...At the East side "notch" of the parking lot. W-D had some ready made ham and cheese sandwiches in the deli that were good for lunch.
----------------
Ice, drinks plus some snacks came from Gen Rummy, who also handled the greeting, sign-ins, and the WOK (women of Keystone). Gen had typed up a prototype notice for attendees to look over and make suggestions. The notices of our upcoming meetings will be placed on car seats at other car shows and car meets.
----------------
We shot some car BS for about an hour. There were some new people with cars which we had not seen. Milt had arrived earlier and placed some of our signs at our meeting spot and one at the road. Milt also cleaned up the place a little and removed the junk TV that someone had dumped in our spot. We are trying to keep our spot clean and we thank you Sir!
Following the Sept 19 meeting, Milt is retaining the signs for the club.
-----------------
It was interesting to see Vic's V12 1939 flathead (I never knew there was a V12 flathead) with the center split shared exhaust ports, and the fabricated prototype PVC valve,....and to learn that the glass jar (it really was glass) on the firewall........... was filled with Marvel Mystery Oil and plumbed to the carb spacer.

Why? An overhead valve engine has the valves upside down compared to a modern V8, and when stock, some smoke comes out at startup and again at shut down because of the oiling system. V8's have oil naturally draining down hill so modern V8's are always oiled.
-----------------
The 50-50 was operated by Alan Mevorah and the first door prize was won by Bob Vail.
Bob looked into the bag and exclaimed: There's a $20 bill in my bag!
Vic said: "Bob, I just now dropped a 20 into the first bag and I want it back!"
Bob said: "Vic, If your $20 had a rubber band around it, I'll give you back the rubber band!"

After door prize bags were given out, all tickets were put back on the table face down, shuffled and the 50/50 ticket was drawn.
Clouded with cries of "rigged" and "Boos" from the crowd, Bob won the 50/50! Boooo.
With sweat running down his face and visions of boiling tar and some feathers at the next meeting on October 17,
Bob donated $15 to the club, bringing our total treasury to a whole $50.
and this is the public acknowledgement at post # 284 in the Keystone newsletter: Bob is voluntarily holding the total amount of $50 for the club.
----------------
Pictures from Sept 19 will be emailed out in a few days. We could use a different volunteer to take pictures (with cell phone or otherwise) for the October 17 meeting and send them to me.
--------------
Should we be adding more advance notices to our meetings as a planning tool?

Advance notice:
A British car club is holding a New Years day tour JAN 1 2021 along the beaches of Pinellas County with lunch at a restaurant next to the Gulf somewhere around New Port Richey. As we get closer to New Years Day, we may look into maybe joining and touring with them without interfering, since it is their event and they are organizing it. There will be some great photo ops and a great place for lunch.
At least it was when I went with them last time.
-----------------
Advance notice:
Coming on November 21 there will be some donated free chili and door prizes.
Door prizes may become a regular feature if people donate a few things maybe in advance.--
