The February meeting of the Studebakers of Southern Oregon chapter of the Studebaker Drivers club was held at Debby's diner in Phoenix at 1pm on Saturday February 7th and hosted by chapter VP Peter Braun.
The weather was cloudy but dry and cool but not cold so eleven members and five Studebakers were present.
Colleen brought her mom Barbara and Miles' car savvy friend and Lotus Elan driver Sacha joined us as well.
This meeting featured the debut of Mark McCoy's '50 2R5 1/2 ton pickup, newly roadworthy!
The meeting was cow-belled to order by our perennially unchallenged chapter President John Weinrich at 1:20PM.
Acting chapter secretary Peter B. read the previous meeting's minutes which Colleen O. motioned should be accepted as read, with Richard S. seconding.
Treasurer Colleen O. tendered the treasurer's report, confirming what remains to be a healthy chapter bank account with recent deposits somewhat off-setting the cost of our donation to the Museum and of our 2026 calendar project.
Old business again included business cards volume one and two, T-shirts and calendars still being available.
New business concerned the possibility of this year including a December meeting, previously routinely cancelled, and Miles volunteered to host one
(See the up-dated meeting schedule published on the SOSO blog page.)
The 50/50 drawing was officiated by Ken H. with the winner selected at random by our guest Barbara, so no foul play was suspected as President John Weinrich again won the drawing and generously donated his winnings to the club treasury.
Peter's previous pleas to members to bring something each month for the member drawing schwag table, found it again piled high with goodies. Members at this meeting were encouraged to peruse the table before the meeting to make the process of selection during the actual drawing after lunch go faster, and it did.
The meeting adjourned, we headed out to the parking lot for photo ops and to admire our new addition to the flock, Mark's truck.
See you at next month's meeting, held Saturday, March 7th at 1 PM at Bee Gee's Diner, 500 E. Main Street in Rogue River!
