From the President: Hello all, not a whole lot to bring up in the newsletter. Susanna is doing ok from her fall, a little miserable because she has to stay off her foot, what a great way to spend her vacation. We’ll know a little more after she sees the orthopedic doctor. For those who didn’t know she missed a step coming down the stairs and took a tumble fracturing a bone in her foot, and sprained the ankle pretty good I believe. She was still able to go on her trip to Lancaster PA, the girls showed up and packed her in the back seat of the car, and off they went. Spurr Chevrolet’s cruise had a fantastic turnout of 151 cars, we had roughly 12 members there to help out, Rick and his crew were really pleased and appreciated our help. Thank you to all of you that were able to be there, it was a good time. We also received a donation from Barton Hots for the club, Jim said he likes to take care of feeding the workers, but didn’t a chance to get with us ahead of time. The next meeting will be a club picnic at Manchesters on Aug. 9th , please get with Claudia with your dish to pass and bring your chairs. We want to give a great big thanks to June Dick for all her hard work with the sponsors for the 2008 Caledonia Car Show, I and all the members thought you did a wonderful job.
REMINDER: Those of you who have not paid your dues, they are overdue and you need to get them in to remain in the club.
See you all at the Aug. 9th picnic Larry Heins Finger Lakes Classic Chevy Club
