The November President s Message Happy Thanksgiving to All! Hope you had a relaxing Thanksgiving with your friends and family. This time of year is all about coming together with family and friends and I hope you have plans to do that in this next month. Enjoy and relax from the hectic world we live in. Please fill out and send in the 2013 Christmas Holiday Brunch registration form that was included in your November Archway Olds newsletter on the back page. Complete and send to our post office box immediately if you have not done so already. Don needs a count of attendees so he can tell Barb so she can reply back to Spiro's on how many people are coming. Spiro's will have a nice brunch set up for the members on December 8th at 11:00 AM. Directions where Spiro's is located are also on the same back page in the November club newsletter. Hope you registered. I have been serving as Director / President of the Archway Oldsmobile Club for eight years now. I have been allowed to serve another year from our membership and I am proud to serve this extraordinary club. Thank you. Ed Davis has decided to step down from his Vice Presidency position at this time. We all appreciate all his service provided for the club these past years. Thank Ed the next time you see him. Bruce Stocker was nominated and voter approved to be our 2014 Vice President, thank you Bruce. With the club secretary position opening as Bruce was moved the club nominated Charlie Hutchison to be our 2014 secretary position and was both voted in by the membership during the November club meeting. Both accepted their new positions. The club thanks Bruce and Charlie for becoming our newly elected 2014 club positions. Next time you see them, thank them for accepting these officers positions in the club. Thank the club officers who remain in their positions and the other members who volunteer for the many duties and tasks that are important during the year as it takes many to make this club a success. The Archway Oldsmobile Club has secured itself for the future. Gerry Davis has updated our Archway Club roster in November with the new members that we have received in the past year. Come to our January meeting or contact Gerri for your updated roster copy. Thank you Gerry. Jerry Wilson has received a letter from Tan-Tar-A Resort asking where the Archway Oldsmobile Club has been and are we open to coming back. Let's discuss this at the January meeting. Do we want to have Mark Goldfeder attend one of our meetings to present a new set of pictures of street cars in St. Louis? Barb has seen them at another meeting and stated these new pictures are a good presentation. Doc mentioned to have Scott Brandt President of Moto Exotica give us a presentation? Would the membership be open for club presentations? Let us know your thoughts at the January meeting. There will be no club meeting in December. Our club gathering is the Sunday December 8th Christmas Brunch event. The Archway Club had a busy year in 2013. It doesn't get much bigger than hosting an OCA event with all the other shows we hosted and assisted. Bring your thoughts and suggestions for 2014 at the next meeting for possible actions for the club in 2014. August 2014 has five Friday's, five Saturdays, and five Sundays. Here is an extra weekend in August. We can do something as a group during these three days? Remember your club dues are due at the beginning of the year. We should have the membership registration form included in the next newsletter. Please fill out and send into the club. Thank you. Have a wonderful holiday season, take care of yourselves. Gene 2

Humor An old man goes to the Wizard to ask him if he can remove a curse he has been living with for the last 40 years. The Wizard says, 'Maybe, but you will have to tell me the exact words that were used to put the curse on you.' The old man says without hesitation, 'I now pronounce you man and wife.' 3
