PRESIDENTS NOTE

 

Has anyone seen robins yet?  Have we seen the last of the snow?  It’s time to think SPRING!  We have many activities planed for our touring season (see the attached calendar of events) so mark your calendars now and think SPRING.  Special thanks to Al Berry and John Fare our Activities Co-Chairpersons.

Our Rhinebeck show is coming up fast, May 1^st & 2^nd.  Sign up sheets have been circulated at our last two meetings.  If you haven’t signed up as of yet, please contact Mike Butler. Also, be aware that the set up for Rhinebeck is earlier this year, April 11^th.

From time to time, many people have written recommendations about what tools and spare parts to carry while on tour.   Two often forgotten items include a blanket to cover the ground while working under the A or to protect the fenders while working in the engine area, and rags to wipe off grease from your hands when necessary repairs are complete (See John Fare for specific recommendations on the three types of rags).  

 

Have fun with your Model A.

 

Ken

EDITORS NOTE

 

It’s still cold and windy outside and I am sure that everyone has had just about enough of this winter and are itching to get their cars up and running.

This years Spring Dust off is Saturday April 24th at 8:00 a.m. startup time so I will be getting geared up and will start an inventory of club parts and what is available.

I would appreciate as many members attending as possible, even if you do not bring a car. We always need a helping hand with other members who do bring their cars.

Over the next few meetings I will be asking how many will attend the dust off for food ordering purposes.

I am now on my 57th Edition of the Quail and going into my fifth year. I am honored that you have put up with me for so long, or is it no one else wants the job. I guess I will say it’s a little bit of both. Thanks to all the contributors who have made it fun for me.

I still need as always pictures sent in and stories or articles that you may think are beneficial.
