President’s Message April 2014
Short And To The Point This Month!
Our annual CCR Spring Banquet is coming up on Saturday April 5th. Be sureto get your reservation form back to Fred Glabau if you plan to attend. Don’tmiss a good time!
Our car show on June 8th will be here before you know it. This is our 40th showand I think it should be a good one. But, it takes each and every member tomake it a success. Many of our members put in many hours before the showmaking arrangements for the show field, insurance, police coverage, trophies,dash plaques, door prizes, vendors and the list goes on….. One thing eachand every member can do to make the show a success is sell ads for thead book. The proceeds from the ad book make it possible to support ourcharities and support our club functions throughout the year. It takes everymember to participate to ensure the show is a success. Put June 8th on yourcalendar now to reserve the day. We need your help!!!
Our next meeting will be: Saturday April 5, 2014 at 6:00 PMVioli’s RestaurantAt Hunters Memorial Golf Course688 Westfield RoadMeriden, CT 06450
Until next time – safe motoring!Travis Cook, President
