PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE FEBRUARY 2010
It's already February, and mid-winter in the north eastern region. Our 2010 season should
start in about eight weeks. Our activities chairmen are planning another exciting season with
many quality club shows and events.
Our club's Annual Banquet Holiday Party and Dance that took place at The Stuart Thomas
Manor in Farmingdale on Saturday evening January 23rd was another huge success. Close
to 100 people including club members, guests and the band were in attendance. All enjoyed
the cocktail hour, sit down dinner and the live entertainment. Entertainment was supplied by
the group, The Cascades, which kept our party going to almost midnight. During this event,
our club's former officers, Vice President, Andy Zizolfo, Recording Secretary, Phil
Occhipinti and Newsletter Editor, Rita Trapani were presented with award plaques for their
recognition of their dedicated service, devotion and commitment to our club. By the way,
our club paid the full cost for club members to attend this event.
Andy Zizolfo, our club's CLC Representative and CLC North Eastern Region's VP, attended
the Cadillac & LaSalle Club's winter board meeting last month. During our club's January
20th Monthly Club Meeting, Andy gave our club members an update pertaining to that
meeting.
On Sunday, February 21st, our club's Activity Chairmen Ken Kanner and Artie Koestner
will be attending The Annual President's Council Meeting.The host Car Club for this years
meeting will be The Empire Galaxie Car Club. Representatives from over 60 Long Island
and New York City car clubs will be attending this meeting. If you recall, our club and the LI
GTO club hosted this meeting a few years ago. During this meeting, car clubs submit dates
for their 2010 season shows and events. The dates are all then compared, and some clubs if
possible will change their show dates if there is a conflict with another club's show on the
same day. This will assist us in planning our own club shows and events.
Something new for 2010 has taken effect at our Monthly Club Meetings. A "Suggestion
Box" will be in place at every club meeting. If club members do not want to voice
complaints or suggestions during the meeting when the floor is open to them, members can
instead deposit their complaints or suggestions in the box, signed or unsigned. These methods
are the only way that your complaints and suggestions can be addressed.
I commend our new Newsletter Editor Bob Fuller on his first computer digital generated
Monthly Newsletter for January 2010. This method will allow a larger distribution of the
newsletter monthly. Bob will also publish a hard copy version of the newsletter for club
members that do not have computers. Newsletter Editor Assistant Bill Estes will have the
hard copies printed and mailed to those members. If you have suggestions or stories for the
Monthly Newsletter, please contact Bob Fullers at rfuller9@optonline.net
As of this date, over 153,000 people have visited our club's website at
www.lidreamboats.org Our Webmaster Matt D'Agostino is constantly posting updates.
For your viewing, photos from the club's Annual Banquet Party have been posted. Over 200
club member's cars have been posted on the Members Car Page. Our goal is to have all our

dues must be paid. 2010 Membership Dues were due on January 1st. It is also mandatory
