   PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE ~ November, 2009  

Hi, everybody -

Another "Hershey" came and went. There were VFR members walking and shopping all through the flea market during the week and especially with their show cars on Saturday for the main event.

Fall is here, and as typical there will be minimal car show activity. For this month, the main event is the election of the board. The ballot will soon be in the mail. Please vote promptly.

We have the VFR's event at the AACA Hershey Museum on Sunday, November 15. The luncheon and the "adoption" ceremony of the '31 Cadillac will be a neat experience. The antique cars in period display settings and some very special cars on display will provide some great sights. The plans for the day will be very special and seating for the luncheon is still available. The reservation form and other information are listed on pages 9 and 10.  Visit the event's webpage, here.

The finale for the month will be the HCCP's annual "Frostbite Run" on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 8 to noon, at the Massey House, Broomall, PA, Lawrence Road between Route 3 and 320. This is a fun, informal and free event. Hot coffee and donuts will be plentiful. Donations of canned food and new toys are appreciated. For more information, e-mail: info@historicalcarclub.org

Important Note: It is membership renewal time for members who renewed last year for one year. Forms are in the mail. For those who want to expedite their renewal or extend their present membership term, the form is included in the Goddess as an insert between pages 6 and 7. Please contact Andrea Jacoby at chieftia@aol.com with any questions.

    

And now for the Big News: The VFR's annual banquet is set for Saturday evening, January 30. The location will be the elegant Normandy Farm Hotel & Conference Center on Route 202 in Blue Bell, PA. It was formerly a prestigious estate / working farm in the late 1800s and is now a first class hotel and conference center. Andrea Jacoby, the VFR's very own super hostess, has visited the restaurant and hotel and planned the evening. Her description for us sums it up: "We'll be looking forward to a magnificent evening. It will truly be 'An Affair to Remember', starring members of the VFR  CLC.  The reservation form and information will follow in the December and January Goddess issues

Sunshine news: A number of our members had an interesting October:

bulletFlorrie, my wife, broke her left arm.
bulletJohn Barry suffered a heart attack. [It'll take more than that to get rid of me.—Ed.]
bulletDon Miller had nose and ear surgery.
bulletDave Barr broke an ankle.
bulletAndrea Jacoby had a very bad "bug."

All I can say is WOW! I'm pleased to advise that everybody is now recovering and on the mend. I think that's my message for the month. Wishing everybody a safe and happy (healthy, too) Thanksgiving Holiday,

Marty
