7 members made the trip to IOKA Valley Farm on March 17th for the annual Maple Goodie Brunch. We enjoyed great service, plenty of food and wonderfully inspired food from maple lemonade to maple ice cream pie and everything that goes with fresh maple syrup. Members even took home maple hot sauce. Ever had a ham sandwich in French toast?

At our short meeting we discussed upcoming events. We decided to use the HVFD car show on Saturday May 11 as our May gathering. The show is at IOKA Valley Farm on Route 43 in Hancock and benefits the Hancock Volunteer Fire Dept and Cancer Society. Don will post details on the club web site. It goes from 10-2, we can park together with the club sign and there will be food available. Rain date is Sunday.

Jane is looking for something different for later in the year. If someone would like to arrange a short road trip, museum visit, luncheon, or car display, please contact Jane Palmer.

FYI, I heard one of our members wants to sell his Plymouth suburban. Hope you check the “For Sale” on the website.
