The President Message June 2022
I know that getting a narrative published every month sometime doesn’t come easy and words can be slow in coming. Can I encourage you to give me your story that we can put in the newsletter? Such as your first car, what make of automobile you drove on your first date. It is safe to say that it was a Chevrolet, or a Volkswagen. Send me your story ladies also. Everyone’s story is important. I can laugh at some of my memories behind the wheel. I have road trips stories in the Chevrolet Corvair, but submit your stories first, and Bonnie and I will proofread and edit for the newsletter. I would like to see your stories.
Now for a reminder that July 16th is going to be a really big day for Diamond Treaders. The Long Beach Model T Club Swap Meet will start us off early in the morning at 7:00 am at Veteran’s Stadium (5000 Lew Davis St. Long Beach) to promote our chapter and Model A hobby. We will be ending the day with “Concert in the Park” at Central Park on 7821 Walker St. La Palma at 6:00 pm though 8:00 pm. Be well rested up for the 2-event day. It is Concert in the Park season, and the Model A Fords will be Parking around the baseball field for the enjoyment of the spectators on opening night for the concert season. Please RSVP Larry Ryan President phone (562) 868 8904 Cell (562) 484 8415 for the Concert in the Park. Flyers for the opening Concert will be sent to other local Chapters.
