INSTALLATION
DINNER
2006
VERSION
SATURDAY,
JANUARY 21ST
ROYAL
DRAGON RESTAURANT
It’s
time to change the guard for the 2006 Board of Directors and officers of the
club. Prepare to be present when
the gavel is passed to the new President and the officers for 2006 are
announced. We can do that this year
mainly because we finally found the gavel!
For several years we had a “passing of the spoon” ceremony, but not
this year!
The
private room at the Royal Dragon restaurant has been reserved for us on
Saturday, January 21st. We will have a social
hour beginning at 6:00 pm when
those who desire may indulge in adult beverages.
At 7:00 pm we will advance on the buffet tables.
Along
with the well stocked regular Chinese buffet, which is excellent, the Mongolian
barbeque is still available for those who would like a trip on the hot ‘n
spicy side of dinner.
The
price for this evening will be $11.00 per person, excluding adult beverages, but including tax,
gratuity and soft drinks. Separate
checks will be issued to keep things simple.
Larry
Bonner has once again made all the arrangements for the club so please call him
with your RESERVATION.
This is important as we must have a count to have the room set up
properly. Call
Larry at (918) 627-4305 today and tell him how many will be in your party.
The
Royal Dragon is located in the Fontana shopping center at the corner of 51st
and Memorial on the south side of the center facing 51st St. (7837 E.
51st St.). Please tell
the hostess you are with the Jaguar Club when you enter the restaurant and she
will direct you to the meeting room.
WELCOME
NEW MEMBERS
We
are pleased to welcome Ryan and Jozette Rhodes to the club. They live in Augusta, Kansas, not to far from Wichita and
have a 1985 XJ6. Ryan and Stan
Lackey met up over an E-Bay deal (see last months “Cat Tale” for details)
and Stan put him in contact with the Tulsa club.
By the way, Ron is looking for some fuel injection insulating cones for
his XJ if anyone knows where to find some.
We are delighted to have Ryan and Jozette join our ranks and we hope to
meet them in person soon.
At
the December breakfast we got to meet new members Michael
and Denise Webb of Owasso. They
drove their red 1969 XKE coupe. The
Webb’s really enjoy driving their Jag and we hope to see a lot more of them at
up coming events in 2006.

BREAKFAST
– JAN 7TH
Get the New Year off to a good start
by meeting with your friends at the Sheraton Hotel on 41st and
Garnett for breakfast on Saturday. The
buffet is always great and the coffee is waiting.
See you at 9:00 a.m.!
SANTA
MESSED UP
I
only had one item on my “I want for Christmas” list this year but, darn,
Santa missed my house! I ask for a
Super V-8 Portfolio and said I would not be picky about color.
I know the 127 built are all ready sold out but, I figured Santa would
have some pull with the elves at the factory.
The 400hp engine will do 0-60 in 5 seconds and still gets 19.56 mpg.
Pretty darn good considering a Hummer gets 11, and besides where else can
you get such a classy ride?
Pages 2 & 3 were "photo pages"
LOOKING FOR NEW ADVENTURES?
Tired of the same old car show route? Well, obviously some other clubs in the SC
area are too. Here are some things in the works for the first few months of the new year.
Maybe you would like to plan a little vacation get away and have some real driving fun with
your Jaguar.
