  History  
  
As our club enters it's 7th year we thought a brief recap of our history and club organization.


 History: The club started in 2001 when Chris Aluise got Phil Aluise, Terry Beasley, and Dale Nash to present a proposal to the management of Stones River Mall to hold a weekly Cruise In after the Mall Theatre closed. The Mall required insurance to protect them and the club was born out of the necessity to form a Limited Liability Corporation. They hoped they could some-day get 100 cars to participate. Since the Cruise Ins started we have never had less than 100 car at our Cruise Ins. While at Stones River Mall we almost reached 700 cars a couple of times. Due to Mall construction we had to relocate to our present location at Mercury Plaza in 2006 where our maximum capacity is right at 400, which we have reached a couple of times.

The club has 5 Directors and a secretary. All club decisions are decided by a simple majority vote. Our meetings are held the 2nd Monday of each month and begin at 7PM (next meeting will be May 12th, we have been having some really good crowds lately). We have been meeting at Ryan's on Old Fort, but we are looking at a new location or having our meetings at a different restaurant each month and will probably implement this change starting in June (9th). We currently have 90 members, we would like more of you to become "active" members. We can always use help in setting up and taking down everything at our Cruise Ins. Those who joined after the first of this year, your member- ship runs through June 2009. If you paid your dues in 2007, you're membership expires the end of June. Only current members/sponsors will receive the Club Newsletter. In order to save money we are asking all members with e-mail addresses to let us e-mail it to you. If you do not have e-mail we will be glad to mail it to you. We only have e-mail addresses for about half our members. So please let us know what yours is, if you are not receiving the Newsletter via e-mail.
