Text for the President Message April 2017 is:
Happy Spring to you all. 10 members celebrated “spring” by enjoying a pancake brunch at IOKA Valley farm in Hancock. The weather was typical for March with sun and cool breezes. No antiques ventured out because the roads were still salt covered. Larry and Lorraine Neusch even made the trip.
We had a serious discussion about hosting a National tour in July of 2019 to help the town of Plymouth, Mass. celebrate the “ Plymouth 400.” The actual celebration centers around the Mayflower and Pilgrims, but the organizers want everything Plymouth, including cars. We realize that our available member number is small and we need help. I have contacted the Long Island and Hudson Valley regions to see if there is a possibility they would join us and help. We also realized that we need to keep things simple. More discussion is needed to minimize work and fine tune a schedule of events. The club is leaning toward hosting an event. Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
We managed to add July to our calendar of events. July 16 will be a tour to the Bradley Air Museum in Windsor Locks, Conn. Jane Palmer will organize that tour.
Several members are considering attending the Grand National meet next year in July in Northville, Michigan , just west of Detroit. This meet is only held every 10 yrs, and usually has major sponsoring from Chrysler Corp. 2018 already ???
The next meeting will be a trip to West Townsend, Mass to visit Delaney Antique Clocks. We will meet there at 1:00pm, check out the nearby antique shops, then head to Ashby , Mass. to Tom Dorward’s shop for a quick look. After that, Tom is locating a couple of restaurants for those who would like supper together. Lunch is on your own prior to meeting at Delaney’s on Saturday April 22. Delaney Antique Clocks. 435 Main St. (Rte. 119,) West Townsend, Mass. 01474
