19th Annual AZCOBRA Anniversary Christmas Party

[Bob Broberg SPF667 460BB]

Another great Anniversary Party. Thanks again to Pam and Ron for their hospitality and generosity. Ron even offered to help pay for the trophies. I did receive another $10 from Mesa Dave who supports the club activities as much as possible. Thank You Dave & Judy.
44 people and 18 cobras, what a turnout! Also had a few super JAFMs and a nice C2 Corvette. 3 guests came all the way from Washington State just to attend our party.
Ron surprised us with his 2005 Ford GT. My dream car. Ron says he’ll sell it to me after he dies. Gave us all sad news about his totaled 2016, supercharged, 850rwh GT350. Ron & Pam are working on a new location with an even bigger space perhaps for Anniversary Party in 2021.
Lots of high calorie snacks and free tacos. What more could you ask for. I gained 6 lbs in 1 day. OOPS!
WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT EXCHANGE went quite well under the direction of our Karl Bebout. Pretty smooth this year. Seemed like less shop items this year but fun none the less. We didn’t steal as much from Karl as normal but so be it. Next year! Still lots of fun. My favorite part of the event.
AWARDS FOR THIS YEAR:
IRON BUTT: KARL BEBOUT of course
MOST SPIRITED: DAN SHINN again
CHALLENGE PLAQUE: AL & PATTY WEAVER of course
WAGON FOR BEST TO REPRESENT US: MARK SCHWARZ
Our 2018 winners were home sick (Gary & Vicki Stubbs) so Mark will have to wait for the next event.
We all gave Ron & Pam matching polo shirts with their names inscribed. Here’s a photo.


Winners of our car show awards were chosen by our visitors from Washington for their obvious use and maintenance of their cars. These owners most demonstrate our love for the cars, our events, and our club.
KEITH BARNGROVER
PAUL GILLESPIE
DR BRUCE NELSON.
Thanks go to Mike Canning for all the photos.
We collected quite a supply of toys and gift cards for delivery to Phoenix Children’s Hospital next Saturday, December 14th. Meet up is at Dr Nelson’s office 1776 E Glendale Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85020 at 10:30am. Just west of the Piestewa freeway Route 51.

NEXT YEAR WILL BE OUR 20TH ANNIVERSARY. EXPECT BIG THINGS!

Saw photos on Facebook but did not see some here, so these should show the essence of the party.
