PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Well, it’s another year and I hope everyone is
having a great holiday season.
We are getting ready for our After-Christmas
Party (February 8th) and our annual Flea Mar-
ket (February 22nd). If you have
not been active in Club activities,
it sure would be appreciated if
you could help out with the Flea
Market and then come and enjoy
our After-Christmas Party.
‘Til next time, stay warm and
THINK SPRING!
Michael

On December 14, 2014, President Jan Smith called the meeting to order. Af-
ter the Pledge of Allegiance, Ernie Rensi motioned to accept the Minutes of
the November 2014 meeting and Jackie Sheerer seconded. Treasurer Jack
Swaney read the Treasurer’s Report and Michael Quinn made a motion to ac-
cept the Report. Bob Zufall seconded. No guests were present and no new
members were present.
Daryl Elliott informed the Club that Jim Driscoll is doing a lot better and he is
going to be helping out again with the Car Flea Market. Judy Pribanic is also
doing better. Bonnie Smith is recuperating nicely from knee surgery.
Jackie Sheerer announced that Wounded Warriors, Smile and St. Jude’s Re-
search Hospital would be our Club’s charities next year. After some discussion,
Jackie Sheerer will request additional information about “Smile” and be back
in touch with Pat O’Neill so he can put our charities on the advertisement for
the Flea Market. Jan Smith read a thank you from Wounded Warriors for our
gift of October 29, 2014.
Daryl Elliott made a motion to accept the following slate of officers starting
January 2015: President Michael J. Quinn; Vice President Joe Somerville; Secre-
tary Diane Otto; Treasurer Jack Swaney; Director Bob Goetz. Steve Illsley sec-
onded the motion and it was unanimously accepted.
Jack Swaney informed the Club that the After-Christmas Party will be held at
Grieco’s Carefree Inn on Route 910 in Indianola on February 8, 2014. He read
the food selections and prices. The reservation slip will be included in the next
Newsletter. Your 2015 dues must be paid to attend the dinner.
Daryl Elliott said they are in good shape for the annual Flea Market. Pat O’Neill
indicated that some time in Spring there may be a painting seminar at Al
Zamba’s. Details will follow.
Steve Illsley said the Men’s breakfasts will continue and he also said he is work-
ing on a summer tour. The Club thanked Jan and Bonnie Smith for their service
to the Club. Our next meeting is January 11, 2015. Steve Illsley adjourned the
meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
Antoinette S. Quinn in the absence of Bonnie Smith

Car Trivia ————-
See answer on
page 9
Q: What U.S. production car has
the quickest 0-60 mph time?
NHHAC NEWS January 2015 Page 5
Be advised that the state of PA is now
following up on all insurance cancel-
lations on antique or collector cars.
When the state is notified by the insur-
ance company that insurance has
been dropped you will get a notice
demanding an explanation of the
transaction. When sold they want a
copy of the bill of sale or a copy of
both sides of the title. I have recently
experienced this and several of my
friends have as well. If you sell keep
records as you will need them. ——————————————————————————-
Editor’s Note: The above applies to all
vehicles, not just antique or collector
cars, and it is true whether you inten-
tionally cancel your insurance or it is
cancelled by your insurer. An article
on the Gannon Insurance website
warns that “PA state law requires you
to insure all registered vehicles. If you
drop the insurance on a registered
vehicle – regardless if it’s intentional or
not, and even if only for a day – your
registration is subject to a 3-month sus-
pension. You must return the registra-
tion plate, sticker, and card to the
DMV. However, if you reinstate your
insurance quickly, you can avoid the
suspension by signing an affidavit de-
claring that nobody operated the ve-
hicle while it was uninsured.”
If you’re late paying your insurance
premium—even by only one day—
your insurer can cancel your policy. It
must then report the cancellation to
the state. You may have a grace pe-
riod to pay and reinstate your cover-
age, but in the meantime, the state
has been notified that your insurance
was cancelled. If you drive your car
during the suspension period, but sign
an affidavit stating that the vehicle
was not operated during that time,
you have committed a misdemeanor.
The best way to avoid this situation?
Always pay your premium by the due
date.
Alert from Bob Cirilli on keeping your car insured.
