JUNE 2008 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

DEAR MEMBERS:

THE MANCHESTER, VERMONT CAR SHOW WAS A GREAT SUCCESS FOR OUR CLUB. OUT OF MORE THAN 15 BEAUTIFUL CORVAIRS WE HAD FIRST AND SECOND PLACE AWARDS IN OUR CLASS. THIS YEAR IT WAS THE TULLOCKS '65 CORSA IN FIRST AND IN SECOND, THE THOMAS' NEWLY RESTORED '66 CORSA TURBO. OTHER MEMBER CARS IN ATTENDANCE WERE, THE BASSETT'S '66 MONZA, THE RUGGLE'S '66 MONZA AND MY '64 MONZA. I ALMOST DIDN'T MAKE IT THERE, AS HALF WAY BETWEEN SARATOGA AND MANCHESTER MY CAR BEGAN TO STALL AND RUN POORLY. I GUESS IT IS TIME FOR MORE FUN IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

OUR JUNE MEETING WAS HELD AT PJ'S BAR-B-Q, TUESDAY JUNE 17. ALL IN ATTENDANCE ENJOYED THE GOOD FOOD AND HOSPITALITY OF PJ AND CAROLYN. WE HAVE BEEN INVITED BACK AGAIN NEXT YEAR. THEY TRULY ENJOY SEEING OUR CORVAIRS, AS DO ALL THEIR CUSTOMERS. THERE WERE 8 CORVAIRS AND BOB ADDIS WITH HIS 37 LA SALLE.

THE JULY GET TOGETHER AND MEETING WILL BE HELD AT THE SCHOHARIE VALLEY REGION ANTIQUE CAR SHOW, ON SUNDAY, JULY 20. AT THE NYPA VISITOR’S CENTER IN GILBOA, NY. WE ARE PLANNING TO MEET AT THE DUNKIN DONUT SHOP OFF EXIT 25 A OF I-88 (DUANESBURG) AT 9:00 AM AND CARAVAN TO THE SHOW IN GILBOA.

PETER
