Many Austin-Healey Club of Oregon members may not be aware that we made a $500 donation to the Healey Museum some time ago.\u00a0 It happened like this:<\/h2>\n

I chaired the 2018 Rendezvous in Madras, and despite my intention and best efforts to spend all event income for the benefit of those attending, we still finished with over $5,000 remaining.\u00a0 (How did that happen?\u00a0 Well, not all income is predictable.\u00a0 For example, income from the auction is unpredictable and so as an unknown amount it can’t be programmed and spent ahead of time.)<\/h2>\n

In any case, once the accounting was finished I asked the board to approve a $500 donation to the Healey Museum, which they did.<\/h2>\n

What was even better is that the Austin-Healey Club of America, our national affiliate, had an initiative going where they would match donations to the museum from the chapters, so our $500 donation turned into $1,000 for the museum.\u00a0 The museum has now sent us this plaque as a thank-you.<\/h2>\n

This matching funds initiative is just another reason that I urge all members to join our national affiliate, the Austin-Healey Club of America.\u00a0 The total Austin-Healey Club of America donation to the Healey Museum last year as a result of this initiative was $10,000.\u00a0 It was the largest donation by any club, worldwide.\u00a0 Because of this and other reasons I hope you’ll agree that the Austin-Healey Club of America<\/a> is an organization that we should all support as they support us and the hobby.<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
