to the web pages of the LAKE AREA RODS and CLASSICS CAR CLUB BURNET, TX. We are a very active car club based in the beautiful Hill Country of Central Texas and our membership is growing daily.
Our members participate in car shows in the Central Texas area, visit local nursing homes and our favorite charity is Boys and Girls Club of Highland Lakes and Cherokee Childrens Home.
Please see ABOUT US for more information on our club
Lake Area Rods and Classics is unique and fills a need in the Hill Country. The original thought was that fellow car enthusiasts would come together to exchange knowledge, both about their automobiles and car show events. The Club was formed in the Spring of 2004 with 22 families and a whole bunch of ideas about the purpose of the club. As with all new organizations, there were rules to write, dues to collect and volunteers to step forward. The participation, from the very first, has been awesome. A slate of officers was selected from the volunteers and then the fun began.
One of our members designed our Logo and you can easily identify our members by the Logo printed on their shirts, caps and jackets. Any member can give you information about joining our Club. We have a business meeting each month at 7pm on the second Tuesday, in Burnet at The Highlander Restaurant. We encourage you to attend, guests are always welcome!
We determined that we would be a nonprofit club and have made donations to many organizations in this area. Also, when the need presented itself, we have passed the hat for the support of individuals in the community that were suffering hardship. The generosity of the individuals who form this club is overwhelming, giving both time, support and cash when called for. Each Fall, the club hosts a Car Show in Burnet and this year the proceeds will benefit the Highland Lakes Boys and Girls Clubs. We are also particularly fond of the Cherokee Children’s Home and make a run there each year to meet and visit with the children who live there and to deliver a donation from our Club – again, we pass the hat so that individuals may give as well.
But we aren’t all goodness and light! We have fun! This Club does truly fill a social need for good clean fun – we have activities for everyone in the family. Car shows aren’t the only adventure for this group. We do participate in the Spring Bluebonnet Festival Car Show in Burnet, TX, plus many local fund raising events, visits to Nursing Homes, BBQ’s and a Pig Roast, Saturday Night Cruises (with dinner), Progressive Dinners, Ice Cream Socials, Wednesday Morning Breakfasts, Christmas Party and even an annual vacation week in the Fall at The Prude Guest Ranch in Ft. Davis, TX. There are many more activities but you get the picture. The spouses actually love this very Social Car Club and look forward to the many gatherings.
The ebb and flow of membership varies our numbers from year to year. We come from many different places and many different careers (most are retired) but we have experts in so very many subjects that questions will always have an answer. The current roster lists 65 families and history indicates that we can expect that number to grow by approximately 20% by year end. Again, you are welcome to attend any meeting or function, as a guest..
