- A live auction consisting of MG-related and other items of interest. Item donations for the auction are greatly appreciated and funds raised are used to help run our club!
- Free ticket upon arrival for a chance to win one of three cash door prizes! Or think of it as free auction items if you prefer!
- Awards ceremonies for our three prestigious trophies – Earl Sargent Memorial “Use it or lose it” Trophy, Frank Mason Award, Breakdown Award.

- Bring a new, unwrapped toy for our toy drive!
This year, toys will go to the YWCA San Gabriel Valley WINGS Shelter for families seeking refuge from domestic violence and new directions toward sustainable living. This year it would be nice to focus our giving on older children and teens. Some suggestions to guide your choosing are board games such as Monopoly, Scrabble; jigsaw puzzles of nature, picturesque or historical places (of interest to adults and older children); DVDs of family-type movies; etc. Please choose gifts that do not require batteries and are non-violent in nature. Please bring toy donations UNWRAPPED.

November Recap: Special thanks to Garret Hanes for a very fascinating presentation on his restoration business at our November meeting! 30 members and guests were enthralled by stories and photos of his history in high-end classic sports car restoration.

Our monthly driving events concluded for the year with a trip to Valley Relics Museum. 17 Members and guests with four TCs took part, starting at an original 1940’s diner. A short scenic driving tour brought us to the main event, and afterward a visit to an old-fashioned soda fountain for treats. See you in February for the Lame Duk Kup!
