Annual Membership Meeting in Fort Worth, TX a Success
The Annual Membership Meeting was held, Feb. 10-12 in Fort Worth, TX. Thanks to Don & Cindy Knight for putting together this event for us.
Officers for 2011 were elected and installed. In the Board of Governors Meeting a decision was made to publish a new roster. See all the details in the Bulb Horn.
The Knights made sure that we had plenty to see and do when we were not in meetings. We toured Cowboy Stadium, the ladies were treated  a shopping trip to the upscale Grapevine Mall, and we visited an excellent private collection of cars. See the pictures on the photo site.
The meeting wrapped up with a great Awards Banquet. See all the honorees in the next Bulb Horn. |

Join the VMCCA page on Facebook!
Facebook has become an extremely popular social networking site, reportedly having more than 500,000,000 users. That is something like one in fifteen people on the planet! There is no doubt that it is a great tool for keeping in touch with people and organizations in a way that was undreamed of and impossible just a few short years ago.
 We try to keep up with the times so we have created a VMCCA page within Facebook. Join! Contribute! Make it a forum for all things VMCCA. Click on the "Find us on Facebook" box below. Then click Like!

Photo Site - link in left-hand column
The Photo Site is one I created primarily for my local chapter, although many VMCCA members from other areas now visit it. It covers all the local, regional, and national events that I attend. Obviously, I cannot attend everything but I would like this to become a site for photos from all our regions and chapters.
So, send me your photos and I will add them to the site. Send them by email, by CD or DVD. Get them to me anyway you can and I will put them up, crediting whoever sends them to me. I particularly would like to see albums from all the national events.
