NC Region at the National Membership Meeting _ Philadelphia, PA<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Many NC Region members attended the\u00a0\u00a02018, 82nd AACA Annual Membership Meeting in Philadelphia, PA on February 8-10, 2018.\u00a0<\/span>Former First Lady, Fran Oakes, rode with us (Tom, Sean and Ginger Wright)\u00a0to attend the meeting and participate in the National Awards Banquet. The\u00a0Sheraton Hotel\/Convention Center\u00a0in Philadelphia plays host to this event was filled to capacity (mostly due to the Philadelphia Eagles having won the Super Bowl and the following celebration). There was plenty to do.\u00a0\u00a0This was the third time we have represented\u00a0New River\u00a0Chapter at the meeting and the first time without SNOW.<\/span><\/p>\n

We attended several interesting seminars plus we spent a lot of time in the Trade Show area.\u00a0In the following pictures you will see some of the things that\u00a0are a part\u00a0of this very well organized convention. <\/span>Note<\/strong>, the National Awards Banquet was like attending the <\/span>Academy Awards<\/em>… Only the “Cars” are the Stars and the owners get to collect their Oscars\/Awards. As each recipient was recognized, a large screen picture\u00a0was shown and a short bio was announced. It is a Red Carpet event complete with a reception that includes\u00a0a string\u00a0quartet and a cash bar. Our 1936 25\/30 Rolls Royce received the Foo Dog award. We were very happy to get this prestigious award for our car. Tom’s sisters also\u00a0attended the Banquet and remarked what a <\/span>great family oriented<\/strong> organization Antique Automobile Club\u00a0of America\u00a0is.<\/span><\/p>\n
