7 Horseless Herald December 2014 HCCA NATIONAL NEWS 2015 Director Election Results We would like to thank the 7 candidates that ran for the 2015 HCCA Director positions. Since the counting of the votes this year was later than last year, I was not able to contact all of the nominees before the holiday. Based on the CPA tabulation of the results of the 2015 Election of Directors to the HCCA National Board, the 5 new directors (in alphabetical order) are Alex Huppe John Littlefield Bruce MacMillian Carl Pate Ralph Tolman New Board Member Training Over the past two months the new board member orientation book was revised and updated. The book and other digital documents unlike the past will be sent to the new board members before the convention so that they are better informed and know what to expect HCCA National Convention, TX (Last Reminder) In March 1-6, 2015 the Horseless Carriage Club of America will hold its annual Convention and tour at the YO-Ranch Resort Hotel and Convention Center in Kerrville, TX. This is your chance to start the new 2015 touring season with good roads in scenic hill country. Don t wait to decide to attend Just Do It For information and registration, visit the HCCA web site (hcca.org) / menu C a l e n d a r o r c o n t a c t K a r l D a r b y, Mercer20@aol.com / Electronic Communication Project As the hobby tries to adapt and migrate to the digital communication age, there is more need for the ability to hold video conference calls for committee discussions and training The HCCA is planning to set up a system for the use by the Directors Video calls will not take the place of face to face director and member meetings but they will allow more to get done at the committee level Hershey Tent Organization Meeting Reservations For Hershey 2015, the scheduling and reserving of space and times for the HCCA tent by Regional Groups and Registries / car groups will be managed by the HCCA office and not a HCCA Director. The change will standardize, simplify and organize the reservation process. All scheduling is on a first come first serve basis Do not wait for the last minute to reserve your space. New Member Development In cooperation with various auction companies, when a Horseless Carriage vehicle is purchased at an auction, the buyer will receive a HCCA Gift Certificate allowing them a one year of free membership if they have not been a member in the past 5 years. Remember individuals do not have to own a car to join and be part of the HCCA organization. New 2015 HCCA Brochure The new HCCA brochure has been approved and printed. If a Regional Group or Affiliated Registry or member wants some brochures to promote the organization, they should contact the HCCA office. Observe the Little Things Though this is not a car story, it does show how the young learn the little things that adults overlook Over the holiday, we watched with our 2½ year old twin grandsons the video Polar Express. After getting back home I read on their dad s Facebook posting that after Christmas one of the grandsons found a sleigh bell under their Christmas tree. He looked at his dad, smiled, shook it said I believe. I believe we all can do a better job educating others and getting the next generation involved in the antique car hobby.
