General Meeting - May 2, 2006
The meeting was called to order at 7:10 PM by President Keith Thorson.

We were very pleased to have several guests. William Clausen and Family, Joe Madley (Spelling), Robert O'Brien, Anthony Dixon, Jane McCurry and Rick Torres were all present.

The Treasurer's Report was provided by J.O. Raff and was approved as read.

Old Business: Past Events;
Ted Bechtel reported that the April 23rd. Chili Cook-off held at the Raff's went off well. Winners of the various categories were: Best Red and Peoples Choice, Mary Brown; Hottest, Aaron Bechtel; Best Green, Terry Trimble and Wimpiest, J.O. Raff. Terry's victory ended a ten year winning streak for J.O.'.s "Pueblo Green". J.O. insinuated that the judging was "Fixed" as he does for ALL sporting events and that the proper ingredients for "Pueblo Green", (the rattlesnake meat and scorpion venom), are no longer available in California. Winners were presented Blue Ribbons and $10.00 gift certificates to Chili's. All other participants received, what else (?), 'Participant Ribbons'!

New Business: Upcoming Events;
Ted also provided information on upcoming events. Jimboy's "Cruise Nights" begin Saturday, May 13th and there will be an Elk Grove High School Car Show on Saturday, May 20th. (See "Upcoming Events"). The IHOP Car Shows in Yuba City will begin again soon as well and more information will follow.

Our guests, Jane McCurry and Rick Torres represented the GTO Club and addressed the meeting concerning an all Pontiac Car Show that they would like to have our Club's assistance in holding in 2007. The Sacramento Pontiac Club would also be involved. Pres. Keith Thorson referred discussion of TACA's participation to a Committee Meeting to be at J.O. & Irene's on Wednesday, May 10th at 7:00 PM.
