    2020

    Most of the club's monthly meetings and all the usual club events were canceled because of the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.

    2021 and up

    By early 2022 the club had returned to the basic schedule of monthly meeting and several special event meetings, typically these: an annual picnic; a "Show and Shine" at a dealership, usually at Mac Haik Dodge Chrysler Jeep; a "Polish the Vehicles" meeting at the the National Museum of Funeral History in Houston; a display at the Houston AutoRama; an Annual Halloween Classic Car Show; and a Christmas Party.
