Thank You

It has been a real honor to have served on the ACMOC Board of Directors for the past 7 yrs something that my good friend Tom Madden got me into for the 1st yr with the support of the late George Howard, and the members kept into for the next 6. My last meeting ended this eve. I can assure you the club is 100% better now then 7 yrs ago thru the efforts of a few past and the present Board. I don't regret for 1 short min. serving ACMOC members and working close with the other members and Board members in turning the club around 360 deg. back to a positive direction. Jackie and I had the opportunity to make friends and meet members from all over the world at shows and other events, something I hope we can keep doing.
I can say without a doubt this club has the greatest members and a Board of Directors that will strive to keep the club going in a positive direction for its members, and lucky to have 2 of the hardest working friendly ladies working in the office for the members.

We hope to see many of you in Santa Margurita this upcoming year

Thank you all Willie

Hi, Willie.
From me DowNunda, Thank YOU for your service. I wish you both good health and success in all your future endeavors.

Just my 0.02.

Thank you for your service to a valuable club that benefits all of us in so many ways. I look forward to meeting up with you in SM in 2017.

good onya Willie I dont think most people including me have any idea how much work goes into keeping a club like this going thank you and the rest of the people invloved

Thanks Willie for taking on the challenge 7 short years ago. I knew you would be good for the club and I thank you for your dedication.

Thanks Willie for serving on the club Board of Directors. I sincerly appreciate yours and all the board members dedication and time.

Now that Willie has been termed out and Garlic Pete has been termed out, we have no West Coast (not down under) directors. I know that this is what prompted me and others on the Left Coast to convince Willie and Pete to seek to serve as Directors 6-7 years ago. I guess we are in the same boat again. It looks like our Westerly most Directors are Illinois and Minnesota now. Surely there have to be guys and gals in Ca, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, the Dakotas, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska, and some of the westerly plains states that would like to serve ACMOC.

I believe there is an open seat and I think Jan Meermans would be a great Director as he is dedicated, smart and loves and bleeds Highway Yellow. If Jan cannot serve perhaps Pete or Willie can be appointed for the short term until we motivate some West Coast or Mountain States folks to step up.

As this came up 6-7 years ago when several requested that I serve ACMOC as a Director, I have a simple answer. I cannot dedicate the time to both the Best of the West Santa Margarita Show and to the ACMOC Board and Santa Margarita needs me more than ACMOC needs me as ACMOC has 9-10 Directors and paid staff. We have neither. I have been asked to serve on ACMOC many times over the last 15 years or so and my service to the Club comes in the form of putting on Cat, Holt and Best shows in California.

Please folks consider putting your name out there and serving ACMOC as a Director.

Thank you again Willie and Pete and all of you ACMOC Directors for representing us well.

Tom Madden
