Diamond Tread Board and General Meetings

Will be held at Village Cafe

First Tuesday of the month at 6:00pm and 6:30pm


Since September of 2022, one of our own Diamond Tread Members             (J. C. Stephenson) has been fighting an illness that the doctors can not identify.  Since that time J.C. has lost over 85 pounds and is very weak. While visiting him last week at the La Habra Convalescent Hospital, he shared with me his concerns about making the co-pays for his medical needs. His daughter has initiated a              Go Fund Me account. Please take a minute an read J.C.'s story.

Our Editor (Rex Bartholowmew) and his transition assistant (Vicky Bartlett) are on schedule for posting the monthly Newsletter at least one week before the monthly Board/General Meeting. We want to make sure that all members have this information as early as possible..


tThe March meeting was well attended and held at the new monthly meeting location… Village Cafe in Long Beach. Rex Bartholowmew was this month’s presenter with a very interesting and impressive recollection of his extensive career in the Automotive Service business. Please join us for our March meeting when Luke Sayer will be discussing his experience in the  vintage car and motorcycle racing circle.


The much needed recent rains we have had may have put a damper on some of us driving our Model A’s, but it has not deterred the weekly Thursday gathering for breakfast at the Village Cafe.


On Saturday April 1st, our Tour Director Larry Ryan is leading a tour to the International Printing Museum in Carson. Fingers crossed for good weather, so we can get our Model A’s out on the road.

Take a look at our “Newsletter” page and you will see: informative updates from the President, summary of last month’s events via the monthly minutes, “out and about” events, planned tour for the month, history lesson, Membership news, details on where the Red Hot Sparks will be meeting, who is celebrating a Birthday/Anniversary, Classified Ads, Editorial musings from the Editor and finally details from our advertisers.


Please visit our Advertisers page to patronize those in the community that help support our club.


If you use a Google Calendar, please consider merging the Diamond Tread Calendar in with your own. This will allow you to view our upcoming events at a glance. This calendar is also posted on the Diamond Tread website’s Events/Dates page.
