A record 31 attendees (see photos) gathered at the Mt Vernon Cascade Pizza Inn. President Wayne Musselman welcomed all and had each member introduce themselves, tell where they were from and brag briefly about their vehicle of choice.

Frank and Margaret Travis were instrumental in the formation of our club. On behalf of the club, Francie Jacobson presented a Life Membership award to Margaret for her years of MG interest and activity. With Frank's passing their cars will remain in the family and we hope to see their children as members soon. Congratulations, Margaret.

Secretary/Treasure Francie gave the financial status of the club (we're OK) and asked that all 2007 dues be paid not later than March 17th to insure that everyone could be included in the hardcopy of the Membership Roster. An authorization to spend up to $125.00 was approved by the members for the purchase of a UPS (battery backup) to protect the computer which serves our website.

Larry Solheim gave a brief presentation about the website, thanking Eric Hall for his donation of the server computer and the solid start to the site. He discussed the "live" membership roster and email capabilities of the "Members Only" area and handed out a form showing logon to the "Members Only" area.

After some very good pizza, Wayne counted through the months of the year and a discussion was had as to the best tours that could be planned.

Everyone was encouraged to use the website to email all other members whenever an additional outing, or even just a casual gathering could be arranged, even at very short notice.

The club would like to see their cars out there on the roads!

We would like to see your pictures, stories and adventures on the website!

Soon it will be Spring!!!
