Old McDonald Fish Camp was a rustic, family owned restaurant that serves all types of fish, shrimp, and some unusual options like Gator, and some excellent Grits and Hush Puppies. All very good!
Treasurer’s Report: Started at $1540.74, with no additions, nor subtractions.
- Brian found an old Invoice for static cling Master’s Miata stickers (the ones that keep their colors), so a vote was taken to approve spending money from the treasury to purchase 100 clings. 13 votes to approve.
- John Haff mentioned that Ms. Anita Wylds, who is a Master’s Miata founding member, is still in serious condition in the burn unit at Doctors Hospital after a nitrogen leak at Xytex where she worked. All present at this meeting agreed that we should send flowers as soon as she can receive them. John agreed to purchase ($50-$60) and have them sent to her and bill the club.
Ongoing:
- Tom has some business cards with the club website; to give to people who own Miata’s that may be interested in joining. See Tom if you would like some.
- See Dennis for name-tags…..Dennis has or will be making tags for Dick Larson, Don & Cheri Bozzarello.
- Coffee mugs and other items are available from CafePress
- Communigraphics in North Augusta has our logo, for $8 you can have it embroidered on just about anything.

- Hooters (on Washington Rd in Augusta) will have a “Cruze-in”, hosted by Road Angels, from 1-4 pm. Cars displayed (like Coffee and Cars), display yours too! No charge to display or view.

We must be at Carolina Motor Sports at 11:00 to line up and sign releases, etc. in order to do the Parade Laps. We will enjoy approx 8 laps on the 2.2 mile track with 14 turns. There will be no charge for the laps or to stay for the day, but you may, if you wish, donate $10.00 per car to the fund for children’s Christmas Toys, that National Auto Sport Association (NASA), supports. You are welcome to stay the day (also no charge); there will be concessions (to purchase lunch etc), and an evening BBQ (also no charge). All in all, sounds like a wonderful day!
