CLUB EVENTS
John Jarush
Hi members and friends,
It`s the start of another year, can`t believe
how fast this year went by. One more year then it`s the
clubs 50th Anniversary. Not many clubs can say that, and
have what our club has. Congrats to all the members for
what they do ! Check out the 50th Anniversary Logo
when you can, it looks awesome.
The weather has been great, but I don`t
want to jinx us. I`m looking forward to Christmas
vacation to get some work done in the garage, so I hope
it stays warm, till the heaters up and running !
The Blood drive and Pete`s NEAM day both
are behind us and went well from what I heard. The
Christmas party was fun. Lots of food, some games and
a carload of toys, and I do mean a carload! The Awards
Banquet is next, and that one has great food too,
Awards, laughs and a band too. Garage night returns
with Jim Wilkos hosting at his new shop in Middlefield
by Lyman’s Orchards. Don`t forget Cars & Coffee on the
third Sunday, Greg will have donuts. I almost forget the
un-decorating at the clubhouse on New Year’s Day.
On the Legislative side, it looks like the 4C`s
meetings will have to be moved, for one meeting
anyway, due to renovations still going on at the
restaurant. As I write this, the meeting will be moved to
the Athenian Diner in Middletown. We still haven`t
heard much, but when the session starts I sure we will
hear what`s going on, because the budget is always a
hot topic in this state. The new federal law that lets
small manufactures build turn-key cars, assign VIN
numbers and register them as the year the resemble is a
good sign for us. By doing that it shows that they will
work to help us, sometimes anyway. But I haven`t seen
the final written text of the bill, they may mess it all up
before it`s done, but time will tell. It`s a good effort by
all that had a hand in it.
Hope everyone has a Happy New Year and a
great 2016!

PAUL BENOIT’S ODD WAY OF LOOKING AT THINGS
THANK YOU NOTES
To our Dear Friends at CSRA,
On behalf of the Wallingford Wishing Well we want to
thank you for your continued generosity to our Wallingford
Families.
It is an organization such as yours that allow us to continue
to assist the sick and underprivileged children.
Your donation of generous proportion is greatly
appreciated.
Respectfully, Sue Brooks Sectary of WWW
You crawl under your car to fix what you think is a simple
job, with a few hand tools. By the time you get done your
torches are out, half your tool box and at least two floor
jacks, not to mention half a six pack…
Every day not much in your mailbox, but junk mail and
advertisements, but take off for a week or two when you get
back, yup, a big pile of bills, and or notices…
Most of us can rebuild an engine, wire a car, even maybe do
a great paint job, but some of us just are not high tech
savvy…
Troubles with your computer just get most any 5th grade
kid to fix it…
Why is it we park in the driveway and drive on the
parkway…
What is so good about going skeet shooting, they good

Do you need a license to go snipe hunting?
Why do English people call a car hood a bonnet? Wonder
what they call the exhaust pipe?
I know an old timer that once blew the engine in his car. He
said the engine ‘fell out.’ Strange I looked under the hood
and the engine was where it always was…
THE ANSWER TO WHO IS IT
Dear Vicky and Ray,
Thank you very much for your generous donation to the
Joyce D. and Andrew J. Mandell Center for Comprehensive
MS Care and Neuroscience Research. Your donation will
enhance all that we do at the Mandell Center to care for
persons living with MS. We appreciate your generosity.
Sincerely,
Matthew Farr, MS, PT, Manager Mandell MS Center
“Wishing you a year of joy and good health!”
CSRA, Thank you for the thoughtful fruit basket while
I was recovering. Thank you Kris Sabatucci
Dear Dennis, Thank you for your contribution of
$500 to the Saint Francis Hospital Mandell
Multiple Sclerosis center. We are grate ful that
you have chosen to support the healing work that
we perform each and every day.
Warmly, Whitney Dionne

WHEN A PERSON DIES hearing is the last sense to
go. The first sense lost is your sight.
IN ANCIENT TIMES strangers shook hands to show
that they were unarmed.

For nearly all of the first century of automobile travel,
getting your license meant liberation from parental
control, a passport to the open road.
Today, only half of millennial bother to get their driver's
licenses by age 18. Car culture, the 20th-century
engine of the American Dream, is an old guy's game.
"The automobile just isn't that important to people's
lives anymore," says Mike Berger, a historian who
studies the social effect of the car. "The automobile
provided the means for teenagers to live their own
lives. Social media blows any limits out of the water.

Marital Bliss JOKE SENT IN BY PURPLE JOE
A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says,
"I clocked you at 80 miles per hour, sir."
The driver says, "Gee, officer, I had it on cruise control at
60; perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating."
Not looking up from her knitting his wife says: "Now don't
be silly, dear -- you know that this car doesn't have cruise
control"
As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at
his wife and growls, "Can't you please keep your mouth
shut for once !! ?"
His wife smiles demurely and says, "Well dear you should
be thankful your radar detector went off when it did or your
speed would have been higher."
As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal
radar detector unit , the man glowers at his wife and says
through clenched teeth, "Woman, can't you keep your
mouth shut?"
The officer frowns and says, "And I notice that you're not
wearing your seat belt, sir. That's an automatic $75 fine. "
The driver says, "Yeah, well, you see, officer, I had it on,
but I took it off when you pulled me over so that I could get
my license out of my back pocket."
His wife says, "Now, dear, you know very well that you
didn't have your seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt
when you're driving."
And as the police officer is writing out the third ticket, the
driver turns to his wife and barks, "WILL YOU PLEASE
SHUT UP??"
The officer looks over at the woman and asks, "Does your
husband always talk to you this way, Ma'am?"
"Only when he's been drinking!"
