September
2007

From the Presidents PC,

Man I can't believe how fast the summer has gone by. Its September already, the days are getting shorter and the nights longer.

Thanks to the Manchester's for the use of their home and back yard for the August / meeting picnic. Sorry the wife and I couldn't stay for the eats, as you all know it was my granddaughter's 1st birthday party.

Check below for the times and places for the September cruise and photo/poker run, it should be fun if the weather is good.

Tech nights have been far and few and in-between. The weather has been so pleasant this summer; it seems a shame to be in side and sweating.  When the days get cooler garage work is a lot easier.

My last car show was the all Pontiac show at Piehler Pontiac. No trophy for me but George Nick took first place; what else is new. My class, resto rods had some beautiful cars in it; a friend of mine, Gary Haskins, with a 1955 Pontiac took first place.

Angela and I visited with Chuck Inzinna on his 65th birthday. He is doing very well and is very lucky. He said he would be ready to start tech nights on Thursday's on the 58 Corvette around October. More news to come in the October newsletter.

Phil Mackowiak and I want to take some photos of your car and garage where it's kept. More on this at the September poker run.

Until then,

Stay well and healthy,

Bill Sablosky
President FLCCC
