LCU Board Meeting
2025-09-22 17:30 - 19:00 | Carroll Daniel Construction, 330 Main St SW, Gainesville, Georgia, 30501, United States
Board and Directors meeting at 5:30 PM. There are several key important topics to vote on. One is if we will confirm to leave NCCC. If yes then also via the finance committee suggestions decide what our new 2026 dues amounts should be.
Need to determine if anyone is desiring to leave their club position and if so the Board needs to recommend replacements, or someone might want to step into a different position. Need to have finalized for club November voting.
Also come January 2026 we can no longer meet at the Carroll Daniel’s building. Dave Cirincione has identified another location at North Hall Gainesville for $40 total for 2 hours each month. There is a potential at an Oakwood church for possibly free. Need more info on the Church room opportunity. Bottom line we want some direction from this Sep 22 meeting to know what to proceed on so we can commit to a new location by December.

Hello BMS Car Show Pre-Registrants,

While the weather may have spoiled our plans for this spring’s BMS Car Show May 10, 2025, we’re excited to announce that the fun isn’t over just yet – we’ve rescheduled it to the fall! Mark your calendars for Sunday, October 5th from 1 PM to 5 PM at the Buford Arena, and get ready for another great day of cars, community, and fun.
If you pre-registered for the original May event, you’re all set for the new October date, and your registration will carry over free of charge. Additionally, if you didn’t have a chance to pick up your free event t-shirt in May, you’ll be able to grab it on the day of the October show. We’ve already marked off those who picked up their shirts, so we’ll have yours ready if you missed it.

We always appreciate your feedback and strive to make changes like this so our event can continually evolve, improve, and better serve all of you each year. Can’t wait to see you there for a fun-filled afternoon with great cars, good company, and community spirit!

Historic Madison Georgia - Drive Lunch - Explore
2025-11-08 10:15 - 17:00
Drive outing to Historic Madison Georgia where you will find nearly 100 antebellum homes. We will start our journey at the Kroger on Spout Springs Rd near Duncan Corner (7380 Spout Springs Rd). We will meet up at 10:15 – Wheels up at 10:30 to travel to Ricardo’s Kouzzina, 271 W Washington St, Madison, GA for lunch.
Lunch Menu (Subject to change) will be available at the October meeting. At Lunch, Richard (Son of Ricardo) will present some tidbits about Madison.
Following lunch, we will move two blocks to the Historic Town Square and wander over to the visitor’s center. Then touring of Madison will be on our own so everyone can go see the items of their interest.
Return home will be on your own (Suggest with a buddy if possible.),
A little about Madison GA:
The Madison Historic District is one of the largest in the state. Many of the nearly 100 antebellum homes have been carefully restored. Bonar Hall is one of the first of the grand-style Federal homes built in Madison during the town’s cotton-boom heyday from 1840 to 1860. There is a lot around the square within walking distance of the square including historical building and neat shops.
Our drive will almost be only nice back roads through the Georgia countryside. I think we might have about 1/2 mile on four lane roads.
Please RSVP by November 1, 2025, so we can give Ricardo’s a good head count for our group.
Remember when RSVPing if two are going please list first name as John & Jane and Doe as last name (Example) and show the count going as 2.

Dinner is at Craft Burger located on Jesse Jewel. If weather is nice, it is one block from our meeting place, park in the rear of the meeting building, cross E E Butler at Jessee Jewel, walk past the Comfort Hotel and Craft Burger is on the send floor by the pedestrian bridge across from Johnny’s New York Pizza. It is a new establishment in Gainesville that has received good reviews. Fred has 25 coupons for $3 discount. Parking at Craft Burger is tight as an apartment building is right behind it.
