Call to Order:  Dean Sprague called the meeting to order at 6:50pm. Forty-three members were present.

Shucks Pearls of Marion were present to sell jewelry—good for those Christmas presents.  Dean introduced Barry Gaylord and his son who are travelling the country to visit car clubs and shops. They are MGA gurus and love helping people with their cars. They attended our meeting so we could get to know them and they have a website MGAguru.com to get information.
