Hi everybody, Stan Dale, President of Florida Suncoast BMW. Hope you are doing well, Happy New Year to everybody. (ah) It’s a brand new year, we flushed out 2020 and we’re ready to get going with 2021.

Hey, a couple of things on the agenda today, let me tell you about, just remind you about. Today is the last day to vote for the Florida Suncoast (a)Officers and Board members so if you will, take your membership number, dial into the site and (a) get that done (fsc.buzz/2021vote). It takes about 60 seconds at the most. Get that done, we appreciate your support on that. Also let me just advocate that you go to the CCA website and vote for the officers this year as well. Our Regional Vice President, Dwayne Mosley, is up for reelection, and (a) his last term and he’s done some tremendous things here in Florida. So I would advocate that you go do that. He’s running contested this year so please put your support in for Dwayne. He supported us we owe him that we owe him that  support as well. So please do that.

Hey on a different note, and it saddens me to say this. One of our Board members, Frank Mann, who has been with us for so many years passed away this past Sunday and I (uh) respects and a tribute on this week’s eblast (fsc.buzz/fm). Please take time to read that. I know many of you knew Frank and many many many (ah ah) spaces that we could provide for folks to give some feedback. But (ah) just tremendous individual (ah) and supported the car club just (just) in a phenomenal way. Great friend of ours and and it saddens us. We send our best love and condolences to his wife, Peggy. (a) Just a tremendous loss for everybody, so just wanted to mention that as well.

We just finished up on one of our Board Meetings and I got to tell you that we’re gonna hold off this year on the Annual (a) Luncheon, year-end Annual Luncheon. Look this covid thing is just too serious for us and just a spike here in January from what we experienced in a you know maybe over the Christmas holidays and all. So we are gonna (we’re gonna um) forgo the luncheon but we are looking at doing a Zoom meeting, region by region, so that folks can get into it. So watch for information coming about that. We have a very active planning schedule this year. We had one last year but we’re gonna knock of the dates and reschedule that and hopefully we can get out.

The first big event I can tell you about is gonna come up in March and that’s the BIG show in Cape Coral Florida, so look for that. And then there is a couple of other events from around the area that we’re talking, that we’re, we’ll let you know about. Other than that hope your holidays were great. Ready to hit 2021 wide open.

Uh, you guys be safe out there. Happy Motoring. See ya.
