Greetings!

August was another busy month. As you will read in this issue, VFR was busy hosting two car shows: our annual show at the AACA Museum and the revitalized annual show at Kelly Cadillac. Then there was the Lincoln & Continental Owner's Club (LCOC) Grand National in Dearborn and Kalamazoo, MI that I was on my way to before my injury. My finger is slowly healing. Then there was the AACA Grand National held at the NB Center for Automotive History in Allentown August 20th - 22nd. It was a big GN event featuring 500+ senior cars at a beautiful facility dedicated to the preservation and restoration of antique cars. I hope to cull some CLC attendees for photos and a list of winners to publish in the November/Decembe issue. We hope to be able to arrange a visit to the NB Center - a private collection and facility - in the future.

The annual Peddler's Village show in Lahaska, co-hosted by the LCOC, is Sunday, September 27th. This is always a big event with remarkably interesting cars on display. A registration form is attached.

AACA Fall Hershey Flea market runs October 6th - 8th, followed by the show on October 9th. Please plan to help staff the CLC hospitality tent during the Fall meet. It is easy work, with brief training from us, and you can socialize with other CLC members. Send me an email and let me know days and times during October 6th - 8th when you are available. If you would like to support the hospitality tent, send a check payable to VFR-CLC to John Wood, Treasurer, 327 Bellevue Ave, Penndel, PA 19047-5310. Write "CLC Hershey Tent" in the memo line. Any amount is appreciated.

Mark your calendars for the annual Fall banquet on Sunday, November 8th. Details and a registration form are in this issue. Volunteers make our club's events successful. Please let me know how you can help.

There are many events organized by AACA, HCCP, CCCA, and plenty of venues and places of interest to visit during the winter months. Contact me if you have an idea for a club social event. Let's make it happen. Destinations include AACA Museum, America on Wheels, the Simeone Museum, Boyertown Museum, Longwood Gardens, Nemours Estate… Where shall we go? Help VFR organize a social event!

I will be out of town and unreachable until September 8th. If I have access to internet service, I will check email and text messages.

Best wishes to you and your families. I look forward to seeing you soon. Be well!

Michael Stinson
