Termination of Blue Ridge Community College Auto Restoration Program
Stan Ducker, the instructor of the Auto Restoration Program at BRCC advises that the program has been terminated by the College administration.
This is, of course, sad news for our hobby and for the club. A number of AACA members have benefitted from the program over the years and having professionally trained restorers in the community is certainly positive for the hobby. |

No, this doesn't have anything to do with recaps or re-treading tires to get more life out of that old tire. Roger Lyons has stepped down from his position as the Property Control Officer of our region.
 Roger has served us in this capacity for 25 years and only missed three board meeting in that time. Once due to something about a daughter getting married, which sounds suspicious. After all, what old car nut would allow a wedding to interfere with getting to play with old cars? He missed another time due to being on vacation. Now if he was playing with old cars at the time would be excusable. The last time he missed a meeting was due to a church function he claims he couldn't get out of. I'm not about to argue with the Lord over that one. We are glad the Lord has allowed him the 25 years of service to us.
We can't forget Roger's wife, Paige who has assisted him all that time.
Thank you Roger and Paige for all you have done for the North Carolina Region over the years. Relax and enjoy the hobby. |

2010 NC Region Annual Business Meeting |
|
The NC Region Annual Business Meeting started on Friday Jan, 16 at noon with an AACA National Judging School, followed by the apprenticeship class. This allowed new members interested in AACA to obtain two judging credits. From 3:30 to 5 those who wished to have their vehicles “judged” by national judges could do so.
Saturday morning started early with the NC Region board meeting at 8 am. In other room from 8 to 9, there was a Continuing Judge’s Education (CJE) seminar on American Classics. At 10 am, there was a CJE on Judging Etiquette and a Pedal Car seminar. 11am gave us a metal working seminar from Blue Ridge Community College using a homemade metal working stand made of an oxygen welding tank used as a roll break, regular metal brake, vice stand, among other uses. Also there was a seminar on Trailer Purchase Do’s and Don’ts.
At noon we had a break for the favorite past time of AACA members, eating! Dessert was provided with a “birthday” cake. During lunch, Stoneact the Magnificent made an appearance providing the answer to questions sealed in envelopes, when he wasn’t busy reattaching his mustache. Everyone had a good laugh. Answer: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Question: What does Eric Marsh’s Barracuda sound like?
The afternoon session started at 1pm with Officer Poer who was an accident investigator with the High Point Police Department. For an hour we questioned him with a variety of different questions, and discussed things we have seen happen on the road. There was an overwhelming YES given when Randy Stone asked if we would like to have Officer Poer again next year.
The last part of the day was the General Membership meeting. There were the usual reports from the different officers and committee chairpeople. Plaques were given to the chapters that hosted NC Region events in 2009. Jean Soehnlein handed out awards for chapters that didn’t miss submitting an article to the NC Region News, for the best individual’s article. After the election of officers for 2010, we had the installation of the officers. |
