[DeTomaso] State of POCA address

[Effie Richards]

Joe, that was very timely and thank you so much!
Please renew your membership for another year. There are so many wonderful members with amazing knowledge of the car who are ready and willing to help anyone in need. 
You will be greatly glad you did. 
Please ignore the recent nasty comments about the president of POCA, I have met him and I really trust him. We should give him a chance to do what he plans, after all, we let president Obama to stay another 4 years in office. I say this because there was even a comment about impeachment of Micael Short!..     Come on mature, grown up people who can drive and maintain a Pantera, use your amazing skills for better things.
We can behave better, I'm sure.
