| Happy 2025! | Author: Hamel, R. | Covers: would like to meet you in Branson, Missouri in May for Conclave 2025. Prior to that event, I have plans to be touring in the Ozarks with Steve Kirby for a couple of weeks. I am pleased to announce that AHCA membership has increased for the first time in many years. The delegates have decided to advertise Healey cars and parts only on the website and discontinue the HEALEY MARQUE classified ads section in the magazine. membership and HEALEY MARQUE are now offered in a digital format for only $45/year, plus your local club dues, of course. HEALEY MARQUE is, as usual, offered as a paper copy for $70/year. The delegates meeting was again held in Indianapolis, November 15-18. The folowing members were awarded one-year honorary memberships for their work on the 2025 Conclave: Jim Clemens, Jim Swernoff, Bernie Evans, John Seaman, Mike Swanger and Ken Sierszen. Jim and Jo Switzer were similarly honored for organizing the delegates meetings in Indianapolis for many years. Regarding the Healey Museum funding request, I am pleased to announce that clubs committed around $4000 over the delegates meeting weekend, and following the provision of additional financial data from Albert Hartlink, treasurer of the museum, more clubs have committed to more donations for the next five years. | Marque |
