We did it! The Venice Regional Chapter of the Antique Automobile Club of America planned , orchestrated and executed a colossal car show in downtown Venice on Sunday, February 11, 2018. Every one of the new ideas, activities and presentations exceeded expectations. We had the largest number of member cars participate (50+), the largest number of participants (sold out at 297 vehicles), the highest 50/50 raffle, over 70 volunteers helping make the show great and the most importantly, an increase in sponsors, donations and payments, resulting in a big increase in funds (total amount to be determined later) for the charities. The amount of support from the Club members was outstanding! They were busy from 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Here is a list of some of the tasks that were performed and the members, friends and family that volunteered. My apologies in advance to anyone that I left off this list. Tasks: Check in table; Ground crew; Parking attendants; Class Ambassadors; Registration; Club hosts; Raffle; Appreciation Crew; Vendor Ambassadors; Judges.

WHEW!!! It is finally over, our 30th Annual Car Show. A resounding success in any terms. Where to begin? Thanks to ALL VOLUNTEERS, without you, our

success would not have had the same results. To the committee “ A JOB WELL DONE”. All our Vendors left with smiles on their faces and are requesting larger spots for next year. I have spoken with some businesses on Venice Ave. and Miami and they tell me they experienced record breaking days of 30-40% increase in business over last year for the same day. I believe we saw a remarkable number of visitors to our show as they were elbow to elbow on the show field. I think it is safe to say we surpassed the attendance record set five years ago at our 25th celebration, which according to media pundits was in excess of thirteen thousand people. N-I-C-E!! Our car show fielded 297 show cars, of which 265 were pre-registered vehicles and we had to turn away approximately 30-40 as our event field was filled. Our pre-registration goal was 250 cars and was SOLD OUT two weeks prior to show. The pre-show registration incentive of (2) $100.00 prizes was, I believe, the catalyst needed. The 43 gift baskets were a BIG HIT and were prepared by Lynn Slevin and her team of helpers who knocked it out of the park. The Membership table handled by George Lucyk and Mark Eichner handed out 12 applications for membership, of which one was returned day of show and five on Monday at our general Club meeting. Welcome to our newest Club members! The Club T-Shirts were a big hit and were sold out except for a handful. Judging this year was handled on the curve basis thanks to Vicki Lewis and her helpers Judi Foote, Jan Nubile, Vi Giancola and Bunny Nubile along with our judges. The new judging forms seemed to have cut out a lot of the confusion of past years. Trophy presentation to winners went smooth as silk, 80 trophies in all, 66 to 22 classes of cars and 6 Special trophies: Best of Show Stock; Best of Show Modified; Best Unrestored; Oldest. The Venice Main Street Trophy was presented by Erin Silk on behalf of the business community. The trophy

presentation for the Venice Gondolier was presented by George Nubile – for the newspaper. We had five goals to achieve and managed about 80% of them. SUCCESS!! Now, on to business at hand, our current membership number of families is 137. If your annual dues were not paid by Feb. 15 your name has been dropped from our membership rolls. We have until March 1st to mail our list to AACA for certification. Diane Henderson is Membership Chairperson. You may contact her @ 941-484-1184. Important dates to remember: March 4th, Veterans Salute, Venice

Community Center, Noon – 2:30, need 15 to 20 member’s cars at the event.

Owner’s Manual 3 March 2018

HISTORICAL VEHICLE - submitted by Chuck Ford

The AC 428 was

produced from 1965

through 1973 with 81

examples produced,

49 of them were fast-

back coupe's, 29 were

convertibles and 3

were special bodied.

The cars were built on

an AC Cobra 427 Mark III chassis that was

extended by 6 inches. The chassis was built

by AC Cars and then sent to Italy where they

received their coachwork by Frua. After that

work was completed, they were sent back to

England where they were given their power

train and trim.

Completed in March of 1969, this AC 428

Convertible was originally painted dark red.

It came equipped with the optional three-

speed automatic. Probably first delivered to

an English customer, it resurfaced in the

1990s. It was acquired by the current owner

for £34,500 ($48,000) in the Brooks Good-

wood Festival of Speed auction in 1995. In

recent years it was completely restored in

Italy. The breathtaking result could be first

admired at the 2009 Concorso d'Eleganza

Villa d'Este where the car is pictured here.

THE VENICE REGIONAL CHAPTER OF THE ANTIQUE AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF AMERICA

Membership Meeting Minutes - February 12, 2018 Submitted by Secretary Reggie Foote

Please note that we were given a larger room due size of membership and number of visitors. The PA system was not

working properly.

Start Time: 7:10 pm

Salute to Flag and invocation by George Nubile

Quorum Confirmed: 89 Signed in. May be largest meeting attendance in Club history.

Last months minutes confirmed.

Seven new members and guests in attendance. Introductions numerous.

All 8 Board Member present. One open position to be filled next month. Members were introduced to audience by George Nubile.

President George Nubile presented some generalities and discussion items. Formal agenda laid out by George in advance to Board.

George Nubile and Larry Slevin gave out a total of 6 Awards/Trophies to Club members that attended Car Show and judged separate from the

show field. This is the first time this has been done in recent years. Leo Stetson, Norm Sinclair, Bob Kiedrowski, John McKeon, Neil Rideout

and Phil Borgia recipients.

Director Gary Felker discussed upcoming shows and events. Royal Coachman, 3/17, Kimal 4/28. All important events will be listed in News-

letter. Members are always urged to attend especially functions that generate income for our Club.

Vice President Diane Henderson: 140 Registered Members, 264 Total Members

The Breakfast At The Beach will be held Sunday, April 15. 9-12pm – Catered like last year. Will be held again at Maxine Barrett Park

Most of the evenings event was to talk about the “after-the-fact” February 11th Car Show. Many facts and statistics were presented by Larry

Slevin and Keith Lewis. As there were many financial figures given out, they will not be listed here for insertion into the monthly Owner's

Manual Newsletter. Larry's program was highlighted as a CELEBRATION and focused on the POSITIVE. Simply put, the show was a suc-

cess and met all of the 5 goals set out by the Show Committee. Statements like BEST SHOW EVER were rightfully bantered about.

Here are just a few basic facts for consumption:

53 Club Members Registered

263 Pre-Registered Vehicles

297 Final Number of entrants

8 New sponsors

Financial Goal not only met, but was exceeded

41 Gift baskets were auctioned off

50 Show vehicles had to be turned away due sell out of spaces.

32 Pre-paid NO-SHOWS

70 Club members and friends volunteered for various show duties.

Many food vendors – No problems with amount of food available including downtown Restaurants. Feedback from a couple Venice Avenue

venues was positive with one restaurant mentioning a 40% increase in volume than normal for a Sunday.

There will be future BRAINSTORM sessions to discuss nits, peeves, suggestions, criteria concerning making future shows flow better and

hopefully, to increase revenues. Many lessons were learned during this overflow show on how to handle large crowds. Possible move of show

location, hours, volunteerism, pricing etc. being considered. Input from sponsors, spectators, membership and general public will all be taken

into consideration. Automation a key subject and goal.

Media Reports approximately 13, 000 spectators viewed the event.

Ken Obeshaw provided a beautiful crystal lamp and several works of art to be given out after the 50/50 drawing to ticket holders in attendance.

Ken said he will do similar in the future.....Many thanks to Ken for his generosity.

Fred Noren discussed candidates for the 2018 Board. At this time, one Director vacancy. Election will take place at the March General Meet-

ing. Members in attendance of meeting will vote as last election. No electronic ballots to be issued. Norm Sinclair has volunteered for open

Director position.

Variations to future scholarship and financial endeavors were discuss by Chuck Duke. Future financial contributions will take in various chari-

ties and community events rather than all monies go to just Venice High School Scholarships as in past. Member and Board input have desig-

nated several choices for 2018.

Director Jim McCarthy discussed the success of the new Club shirt sand badges

Many questions and lively discussions from audience, too numerous to mention. Many focus on our growing Club size.

Meeting adjourned at 8:25 pm.

Several Board executives and many Members stayed for another half-hour or more.
