Hello QCC members, 

I hope you have dug out from the snow and are ready for more cold weather.  We are having our first Motor-In of 2025 on Saturday, February 1 at Cincy Mini.  This is our annual planning session.  We will have a brief e-board meeting at 2:00 PM followed by a pizza party at 2:10, and then social time. Bring your own drinks, please to make it easier for all.  I may test your brain with a short trivia contest at 2:50.   Wear your name tag or come by and order one if you need to.  Karen redesigned them last year and you can even pick out your colors. 

At 3:00 we will start the Motor-In with some planning for an exciting 2025 driving year as the main topic.  We are in desperate need of a new Event Coordinator. Look in the mirror and if you see yourself with ideas and are willing to HELP lead us forward, now is the time for you to come to the aid of the QCC.   

The past several years we have struggled by with various volunteers arranging drives. Sometimes we give them a $25 gas gift card for their efforts.  The real thanks is in knowing as one of the volunteers, you got the wheels rolling.  If six members do one drive, or three do a couple trips, then we are covered.  Envision, plan, pre-drive, promote, lead, and write it up!  We have radios and can follow you anywhere.   Any questions just ask.  Hope to see you at 6131 Stewart Road #2, Cincinnati, OH 45227  at 2:00 PM 2/1/25.
Thanks, President Dale
