PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE ~ June, 2009

Hi, everybody ‐

We've had quite an active May.

The VFR's first show at Golden Chevrolet Cadillac on May 9 was very successful. Many VFR members attended with over 30 award winning Cadillacs and LaSalles plus many Corvette Club members with their cars. The cars were totally mixed and a bunch of friendly people had a great day. See the galleries on pages 4 through 6.  Website pictures are on the way!  In fact, the response was so strong that Albert Golden invited us back next year for a repeat show on Saturday, May 8, 2010. Albert, thanks again for sponsoring the show and for going all‐out for our VFR.

The Winterthur event on May 16 was another winning day for VFR members with special tours and exhibits. See page 8 of The Goddess for photos.

Special announcement: A very significant event took place at our club meeting on May 19. The VFR "adopted" a 1931 Cadillac V8 sedan at the AACA Museum in Hershey, PA. There will be an official adoption ceremony tentatively scheduled for Sunday, November 15, 2009. This ceremony will be preceded by a special behind‐the‐scenes tour of the museum and a catered luncheon. All of the CLC neighboring regions will receive an announcement. A detailed reservation form with all information will be publicized in the coming months. All VFR and neighboring region CLC members will be invited to attend and the cost will be very modest.

The finale for the month: On May 30, Delaware Cadillac's Ronnie Hux hosted his third very successful VFR show in three years. There were some special cars in the showroom almost for the whole week. Many members attended and we had another 30+ car show. To top it off, Ronnie Hux invited us again for next year! Ronnie, thanks again very much for providing your loyal support and friendship to our club. Then, for a treat after the show we went to Rob and Chevonne Robison's house for a barbecue and feast. We all had a long and enjoyable day. Thanks, Rob and Chevonne for opening your home and for being special hosts to us.  Coverage of the Delaware Cadillac show will be deferred until the July Goddess issue, given the late date.
