This was another 'packed' month for stuff going on. Special thanks for this web news to Edie & Bud H., Ron C., Karen S., Sue G., and The Dept of Transportation(Cone Zone) for their contributions of photos and info...

Check out the club calendar for all the latest in what's happening with the Club this month!

Talk about cruising weather! As I'm writing this, it is ideal weather to take your set of wheels on the road. Except for a little haze in the morning, the smoke from all those lightning fires is but a bad memory. Temperature-wise, we've dropped from the terrible triple-digits to livable eighties (perfect for throwing a shrimp or whatever you like on the barbie). Even without A/C, heading on down the highway behind the wheel of your favorite ride is a pleasure again. Now if it will only hold all summer . . .

Last month I wrote of activities aplenty with a variety to satisfy anyone. Of course, that assumes that the anyone can be satisfied. Reports of some of last month's plethora of partying are in this newsletter and the fun just keeps on coming. Look at your calendar for this month (handily enclosed in this very rag) for your 'Things to do' list. It sure beats the one you have for jobs around the house. If you don't see what you like, you know what to do: contact your events chairman, Terry, and organize one you would like. Yeah, it would take a little effort on your part, but there is no free lunch. Unless you believe the politicians and if you do then I've got an '83 Corvette Stingray with a LS7 454 from a '70 Vette you can buy for a great price. If you're not into Vettes, Google it. It's as rare as a '28 Model T with a '33 Ford flathead V-6.

Since this is the last newsletter before the Friday of our big car show, I'll chat on that for a bit. Many are already involved and putting in a tremendous effort. It is truly amazing that we put on such a great show with only volunteers. As we've said in our advertising, it's put on by car people for car people. Maybe that's why people like it. And so far we are running about the same in pre-registrations as last year. This at a time when many shows are seeing a 20% or greater drop in participants. It says so much about our show. We must be doing something right. If you are not involved yet, there is still time. So many vital jobs are done at the show itself that you are definitely needed there. The 'in crowd' in this club are those who get involved and anyone can join. Contact Duke or Thane and they will get you plugged in.

Speaking of plugs, here's one for the Roamin Angel Corner in The Union. It is relatively painless, helps the club and gives you the proverbial fifteen minutes of fame. I can take your car's picture (sorry, I don't do people) at any of the functions I am at or we can meet somewhere for your photo op. I do a quick (ten to fifteen minute) phone interview and Bob's your uncle. That's Brit speak for 'and it's handled.' So just let me know and we can see you in the funny papers.

'Nuff said, I'm outta here.
