Our picture was taken by ANNA GRIFFIN and she wrote an article about our Fathers Day Show which appeared in the Sunday, June 11th issue. The June monthly meeting was held at the CIVIC CENTER Monday June 5th. Since our President and our Sunshine Lady were in Nevada on a well earned vacation, our Club Vice-President TJ BLAUSER opened the meeting at 7:00 PM. He then asked for a moment of silence for our departed members, our armed forces and especially for our recently departed member, DUANE HOAGLUND. There were 44 members and one guest present. Our guest was RAYAN MOHIUDDIN of the Leominster CTE who was one of the two students selected for a scholarship for our Annual Automotive Award. RAYAN received a very warm ovation from the members. Our second recipient was JOHN LEBLANC from Monty Tech. The reading of the minutes of last month meeting by our Secretary MARTY was waived as these minutes appeared in last month’s Newsletter. TJ then asked if there were any additions or subtractions to be made to the report that appeared in the last Newsletter. Our VP then called on our Treasurer TOM for his Financial Report. The Minutes and Finance Report were accepted, as published, by the members present. TOM reported – “All plans are GO for our Father’s Day Car Show, Sunday June 18th. We need members on the day before the Show to help fill our “Goody Bags. We need you there at 9AM” VP TJ reminded the members that we will be in a different meeting place for our July and August meeting. We’ll be meeting at the Stone Haven Restaurant on John Fitch Highway (the former home of the AMVETS). FTCHBRG–BLOCK PARTY & JUL 4th PARADE– TJ BLAUSER gave us the lowdown on Fitchburg’s Downtown Block Party on FRIDAY June 30th … and the Independence Day Parade on Tuesday, July 4th. TJ talked about the Downtown Block Party to be held on Main St. Fitchburg. It’ll have the static display of antique vehicles, a Sock Hop, Golden Oldies, and our own GIBBY LASHUA with his Accordion, a Chicken Bar-B-Que, Food Vendors and Ethnic Foods.. Our VeeP also said that the Fitchburg July 4th Parade will start at 10 AM. We need to be at the St. Bernard’s Elementary School Driveway at 254 Summer St. at 9 AM. TJ will be handling the Antique Car Division. We’ll be at the head of the Parade again this year. TJ also reminded the members of our coming events which are listed in the newsletter. .Ice Cream Runs which usually take place on weekdays and not on Page 4 weekends usually depart from across the Street from Burger King’s on John Fitch Highway. As a rule we leave there at 6PM. BUD & NANCY ARBO promised us that they would take us “Somewhere Sweet” for their Ice Cream Run on Wednesday July 19th . STEVE PADOVANO is going to set up an Ice Cream Run for a Sunday since many members can’t make a run during the week and would like to participate. Where are we going, STEVE ?? RAY RATHIER spoke about the run to Wright’s Chicken Farm. The price is now $10.25 per serving. Ray will provide each car with a detailed map. He said we’ll be leaving around 10AM from in front of the West Fitchburg Restaurant & Pizzeria, at 226 Westminster St. SKIP SULLIVAN spoke about the Monadnock Oldies Car Show in Jaffrey, NH. To be held July 29. It’ll be the same as last year. TJ reminded the members that this year the Wachusett Old Car Club will be at a new location at MONTY TECH on August 6th . TJ conducted a Tech Issues & Questions Session. MO said he is having trouble registering his ’37 Austin Tourer. He received lots of good advice from several members and thanked the members for their suggestions. ATTENDANCE PRIZE – DENNIS GOYETTE’S name was drawn for the evening attendance prize but was not there to collect his $20. Next month the prize goes up to $30. Remember you can only win if you are at the meeting – so come on down! 50/50 DRAWING – LEE TUCKER was our lucky winner. Meeting adjourned around 9:15PM. Our many, many thanks to ANITA WINTERS for handling our refreshments. God Bless America MEMBERS IN THE NEWS and OTHER STUFF… KIT TUCKER – One of our Mid-State Charter members recently started his work day off with a little bit of excitement. Main Street Hero – Citizen makes arrest. Business owner runs down, restrains alleged store burglar – reads the local June 1 edition of the Sentinel & Enterprise. The paper reports: It was early, 6:30AM, KIT was coming to work after an early game of tennis, still had his sneakers on – they’re fast sneakers, KIT said – and saw a man standing in front of a broken store window with a couple bags of stuff under his arm and the alarms going off. So, he did what anyone in that situation would do … he chased him down the street, calling 911 on his cell phone as he ran. Police showed up, arrested the alleged burglar and KIT went off to work. Just another day at the office, huh ??? WOW … KIT, what a way to stay in shape !!! NEW BUSINESS CARD ADVERTISERS - We have been adding some new business cards in the Back Pages.
