As most of you may know, EMRA has gone through a rough couple of months. The elected Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Race-Chairman have resigned. EMRA is operating with interim people heading up those posts. They are Peter McCarthy, Bruce Whipple and Darrel Stein.
Official candidates (to complete this year's term ending in December) will be nominated at the next EMRA Board Meeting on May 20, 2008, held in Livingston, NJ. If more than one nomination is submitted per position, a vote will be taken. If there is only one nomination for a position, that person is in.
If you have suggestions for someone to fill these positions, please let me know. Do confer with that person(s) to be sure they are interested. The positions are time consuming and demanding.
Please give this some serious thought. I will be at the Pocono South event this weekend, flagging on Saturday and racing on Sunday, if you want to talk.
Get the word out to anyone else you can think of.

Do not nominate me!

Hello South Shore Members
Believe it or not, we are just one month away from our first EMRA event of the 2006 season and that means renewing your club membership.
The easiest way to do this by e-mail. Just send me your name, address and phone number. Tell me if youÍre a racer, time trailer or worker. Include car make, model, class and number. I have most of this info already, but I need to update the list for 2006.
Please reply ASAP so I can forward this to EMRAÍs registrar at least one week prior to the first event.
As usual, the annual dues remains $10 for the season. I will be at Shenandoah with your membership cards and SSSC&BDS stickers.
We have new bright gold Tee shirts. A beer mug with the SSSC&BDS logo is on the front and the Beer DrinkerÍs Prayer is on the back. The shirts are $15 and available in M, L and XL. Let me know how many you want and IÍll bring them to the track.
Sorry, but no Green Flag Dinner this year. I have been too involved in my move to PA. Maybe we could do a picnic or something during the summer. Open to suggestions and someone to help organize the thing.
The correct name of our club: There has been some controversy as to what SSSC&BDS means and I am partially guilty for wrong the interpretation. Thanks to Dave ZipkinÍs insistence, I checked with long time member, Don Perry. Our group is South Shore Sports Car and Beer Drinking Society.
Please forward this message to other SSSC&BDS members and potential members.
