| Danny showed the club a certificate the club received for it's
participation in the Texas Independence Day Parade. |
| Barry gave an overview of the activities surrounding the recent Long Range
Desert Convention event. The club had excellent participation for this
event that was based on 1960's TV shows such as The Rat Patrol. We
were treated to excellent food and had a good time in addition to providing
benefit to the convention participants. |
| Scott provided an overview of the recent Chisholm Trail Roundup Parade in
Lockhart. The club had four vehicles including an M38A1, MB, M151A2
and Claude even drove his WWII Ambulance! It LIVES! For the 4th
year in a row, the club won "Grand Champion" for "Antique
Vehicle Group" |
| Vehicle insurance was again discussed. Danny reiterated that you
cannot purchase vehicle insurance for a vehicle you do not own.
However, most insurance companies will honor your policy while driving other
vehicles as 'alternate transportation'. This generally applies up to
10,000GVW but check with your insurance carrier. The discussion was
based on our clubs desire to take the museum vehicles to events and we are
required to have insurance. |

As Danny say's about this one, "it's a 5 mile parade in a 1 mile
town". After the Shertz parade, the group will pack up and
