Well, with all the preparation it required, we had a really good dress
rehearsal for a car show! Too bad mother nature didn’t cooperate,
but even with all that we learned there are still a few little details we
can improve on for next time.
Thanks to all members who braved the elements and did their fair
share. Thanks to all the sponsors who even made it possible, and a
special thanks to Toby’s BBQ and PhotoRodz for sticking with us to
the end! Wish we could all have made a little more money, but twas
not meant to be.
Our meeting for July will be at Darcy’s on the 20th. Lunch at 2 pm
and meeting at 3 pm. We will discuss what went on at the car show
and go over our expenses and proceeds. We will also begin preliminary discussions for the AutoNation Chevrolet show coming up in
September. Your attendance is requested! See you then!
Have a great 4th!
