JERSEY LATE GREATS, INC

Chevrolets 1958 to 1972 Chevrolets
January 2025
This is my first President’s Message in quite a while so I would like to begin by thanking the outgoing Board for their service to the club.
The Christmas Party was a lot of fun this year Dawn Dennery and Maureen Humphreys once again did an out – standing job coordinating the food and decorations. Lydia organized the “Left to Right” gift game and she could participate this year thanks to Amanda Tinnes being the narrator. That’s always a fun time. In addition, we celebrated Bob Kiefer’s 90th birthday.
Looking forward to the new year, the January meeting will be focused on planning the coming year activities. Some ideas are a Drive-In Cruise, perhaps to the Delsea Drive In, a Diner cruise, visiting an auto museum, perhaps some historical sites, the Fall Foliage run, the club Picnic in May and participating in
a couple car shows. I would like to ask for a volunteer to be the “Cruise Director” to facilitate these activities. The club will be providing pizza and soft drinks
and there will be a slide show of previous club activities. I have been scanning
the old club photos so we no longer need to keep the prints and negatives. I will bring some boxes of these photos so that members can take home with them if they like.
I’m looking forward to another year of good times with the club. See you at the January 5th, 2025 meeting. Please note that our meetings will now be held on the first Sunday of the month due the new facilities schedule. The time remains 3 PM.

The January meeting was productive with the new Board in place. Our Vice President, Tom Freund was right up to speed for his first meeting as. Tom has recently acquired both of Verne Frantz’ ’62 409 Impalas so it looks like he’s off to a good start and nice to
see those cars will be staying in the club. The black convertible was the reason our chapter was started in the first place so it’s good to see these cars will be staying with the club.
Our By Laws need to be updated to reflect some changes that have been made over the
years. We will discuss the various items and vote on the changes. Just a reminder, voting
on By-Law changes are by one person per family membership.
Article II
Change 1958- 1964 to 1958 – 1972
Article III
Change the affiliation with Late Great Chevys to The National Impala Association
Article IV
Change 1958-1964 to 1958-1972 Change the dues from $18.00 to $25.00 plus
an extra $15.00 for members who require hard copy newsletters mailed.
Additional Positions:
Newsletter editor to be appointed by the President. Webmaster to be appointed by the President. Sunshine/Hospitality committee volunteers. We will need to add a section to the By-Laws describing the Guidelines for the club to disperse funds should the club disband.
As a reminder, meetings are now the first Sunday of the Month at 3PM.
I would like to see a good turnout for Sunday, February 2nd so we can discuss these proposed changes.
Take it easy,
Mike
March 2025
At the February meeting we discussed making necessary changes to the club By- Laws and had preliminary votes on the proposed changes. The proposed changes are else ware in this newsletter along with the latest version of the By Laws. (2008). During the March meeting we will have a final vote on these changes. This is nothing earth shattering, just bringing the document up to date. As a reminder, only one family member is allowed to vote on changes to the By-Laws. Most other club business, all members in good standing are eligible to vote.
Leigh Humphreys has been busy working on a new club website. The club has decided to remove any reference to Ecklers Chevrolet in our recruiting brochure as Ecklers no longer has a Chevy club. We are affiliated with the National Impala Association.
We are making plans for the coming year so submit your ideas for events. Seminars for the cold weather months are always welcome so if you have something to share, let us know about it.
