We are delighted that you have decided to join the Fabulous 50’s & 60’s Nostalgia Car Club. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we would like to take this opportunity to say “Hello” and Welcome to our Club.
The Fabulous 50’s and 60’s Nostalgia Car Club, Inc., is dedicated to promoting friendship and camaraderie for all persons who appreciate classic, antique, customized and special-interest vehicles. We do not just accept 50’s and 60’s vehicles; all makes and models are welcome to join and participate in our club and shows. We are a not-for-profit corporation and we support many community and national charities as well as other LI Car clubs who think similarly. We travel as a group throughout LI to display our vehicles and to help raise money. We are also available for various charities, churches, and schools who want to host a fundraiser car show but need help running it successfully. We can advertise the event, set it up, stage the cars for display, judge the cars for trophies and can even supply a DJ to keep everything moving. We are not trained AACA judges, but are experienced in building, restoring, and maintaining classic vehicles. We do peer judging (as found in most car shows).
The club accepts applications for membership from anyone that has an interest in antique, classic cars, hotrods, or customized vehicles. We are a co-ed club and therefore, no prospect is refused because of race, color, creed, sex, or sexual orientation. New members are on probation for 6 months and members in good standing after 1 year are able to run for office.
First year club dues are $50 per person or $100 per couple which includes a club logo shirt or hat per person. Subsequent annual dues are $30 per person or $50 per couple due on March 31st of each year. Members with outstanding balances will be notified promptly and given to April 30th to get up-to-date or notify a Board Member of the reason for non-payment. After May 1st, the Board maintains the right to drop a member for non-payment. Note: Dues amount can be changed by a membership vote.
Meetings are held the second Thursday of the month at Seaport Diner, 5045 Nesconset Hwy, Port Jefferson Station, NY starting at 7:00pm. Some members arrive early to have dinner prior to the meeting. Members are urged to attend at least half of the monthly meetings and attend as many club functions as possible during the year. Because we are a not-for-profit corporation, we support ourselves by running and managing car shows for other car clubs and charities as fundraisers. The money we earn plus the membership dues pays the annual club expenses such as insurance and corporate costs. If additional funds are available, they are used to pay for the Annual Picnic and Holiday Party. We are a hands-on club and need the participation of all in order to succeed.
Our members are expected to:
- Promote shows
- Setup/cleanup for car shows
- Hand out show flyers
- Participate in car shows
- Judge cars
- Park cars
- Sell raffles and 50/50 tickets
- Get donations for raffles
All club members that have participated in at least 2 of our judging car shows per year may attend our Annual Picnic and Holiday Party at no charge. Members who have not participated in the judging shows and non-members are welcome to attend our Picnic and Holiday Party for a fee.
We are a dynamic car club and therefore the Board of Directors welcomes any suggestions for improvement to make it a pleasant and exciting experience for all. We are happy to help you find something that meets your personal needs. Car Club apparel, drag plates, flags and accessories are available for purchase.
Once you have become a member, you will be provided with a copy of the Club Roster, By-Laws, and a list of car shows for the upcoming year. On Mondays 4p-8p from May through October, our club has a Cruise Night at Applebees on 25A in Miller Place. All vehicles are welcome.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
