Message from the President
As usual our club has been busy this past month.
It's great to see so many of our members at the various events.
At last month's meeting we presented the money to Keri's Crusade for ALS and the
presentation of Honorary Memberships to the supporters of our Poker Run/Cruise In. It was a great honor to be part of this. Our little club has great potential for bigger and better things.
Again, I want to thank all that helped with this event.
Also, this past month we had our International Pot Luck at Marcy Aho's. There was some
great food and it was a fun time. Marcy kept trying to get people in the pool but there were no takers.
The July Downtown Kernersville Cruise In was a great success! We had between 130 and 140
cars on the street. Other than being very hot everything went well. We're hoping to top this in August.
I would like to thank Grover Parks for setting up the Virginia Car Collection Tour. This
is a remarkable collection amassed in just 10 years. I have never seen so many Mercury cars and trucks in one place. There were also many Fords, a few GMs and I think I might have seen a few Mopars.
If you haven't been to the Cruise In at the square in Mocksville you really should try to
go. That little town real jumps on Cruise In night.
When you get into town find a place to park and set up your chairs. You can sit just about anywhere and still be able to hear the music and announcements. They have door prizes and a 50/50. They also have a drawing using the door prize tickets for two Cars of the Week. These two cars get reserved parking in the square and a nice plaque. It is held on the first and third Monday of the month. There is one coming up Monday, August 16.
We attended the Cruise In at Cagney's Kitchen on old US 52 at Gumtree Road on August 9.
There were about 20 cars including several OSC members. It was very hot but we still enjoyed it. The food was good and the prices reasonable. If you get a chance try to make it next month.
I was thinking about our club and I realized that we have some great thinkers and they keep
coming up with more ways to promote our events and ideas for more events. I want to encourage everyone to put suggestions in the suggestion box or bring them up at our meetings.
As usual, Ruth Ann will cover some of the items I mentioned above in more detail in her various reports.
See y'all at the eatin' meetin' on Tuesday, August 17.
