June 2013

Presidents Message If you weren’t at our annual club picnic, you

certainly missed a great experience. First off, I

want to thank all those Folks on the Picnic

Committee for doing such a great job‐James

Brussel for arranging the facility, Steve Calandra

for providing the musical entertainment, Al

Bernotas for performing the Chief Extraordinaire

duties, and finally, Gerry and Lou Thackeray for

providing all the good quality “Eats” that we

enjoyed so much. Its members like these that

make a club great. The weather was threatening,

so vintage vehicle attendance was low.

Fortunately, folks still came out in their daily

drivers. We had over 40 participants, including a

few folks from the local Corvette club and a

Corvair that came all the way from Scranton, Pa!

On a business note, the Club Membership voted to

donate $1000 to the New Jersey Auto Museum.

Not only will the Museum benefit from this action,

but so will our club. The museum will create a

commemorative plaque of our donation and hang

it on their walls for all visitors to see. Additionally,

we will receive credit on their website‐our hopes

is that it may generate some new members for our

club

Please remember top `come out to the Burlington

Chevrolet Car display on June 1st at 10:30 am. This

event features two benefits‐a free barbeque lunch

for you and it also draws donation money for our

club treasury. Make your plans now to attend this

show, there are always a lot of passers‐by asking

questions about of unique Chevys. Happy

Memorial Day weekend to all, lets us not forget

the sacrifices our American soldiers make to

preserve our freedoms.

Moving forward to July 13, don’t forget the

annual, ever popular Dennery Summer Hot Rod

Bash. Please see the details for the Dennery Hot

Rod picnic and directions later in this newsletter.

That’s all for now.

Keep ‘em Rollin’ Tom
