Message from our President while on vacation
Rosemary and I are really enjoying the cool weather in Michigan. It is supposed to be around 75 or so tomorrow with quite low humidity. You should see Rosemary feeding my son's cows and chickens. She has become a real farm hand. We are now in a little town called Homer, Michigan and are enjoying reconnecting with old friends. One of the big events in the little town that my son lives is is the balogna festival. Balogna is served in every imaginable way. Street races, etc. Well enough already, I'm looking forward to the comments from our overpaid Vice President. Bill
August Meeting is at Tale Chasers in Tavares!

Tale Chasers Grille is located at the corner of 19 and 441 in Tavares.
Our of all of us who ate there on the 4th, I dont think anyone went away disappointed in the least! Very good food, and great service!
Of course as a restaurant they would love to know how many of you to expect, I gave them the regular line of somewhere around 40 people, but if you know you are going to come and enjoy Buddy Pearce leading our meeting, please send me a quick email and let me know!

Tom Sage visited Scotty in NY - here's his story
Most of you know member Scotty McLaughlin our famous Model A'er author.
I had the privilege of a 2 day visit with him and Brigid in mid July.
I was on a ride through New York state on my Harley and took him up on his offer to stop by his place in the Adirondack mountains.
Now when they say they live in the mountains, they really mean it.
The driveway up to their cabin is almost straight up for over 3/4 of a mile.
Their home is a beautiful log cabin in the center of 350 acres, as in the whole mountain top,with an breathtaking view of Lake George. I can see why they love it there.
Scotties Model A stable consists of his 29 fourdoor that he drove there from Astor,a nice 31 Pickup and a AA dump truck.
I just missed by 1 day being there to help celebrate his 80th birthday, but they did save me a leftover lobster.

Joining the National Clubs
I have been asked by a member to send her the links to joining the National Clubs online.
So I thought that if one member needed this information, someone else might too!
So Here are the two links to join the two National Clubs:
MARC
http://www.modelarestorers.org/main/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=151&Itemid=445
MAFCA
http://www.mafca.com/
Mafca's website is a bit more confusing than Marc - but you click that link and then on the left side of the screen - click MAFCA INFO - then on that screen click MEMBERSHIP
Then that will get you what you want.
Hope this helps!

What and AWESOME Parade and Dinner last night!
We had 12 model A's show up for this parade, which is a GREAT turn out!
Then we had 21 members show up for dinner last night after the parade at Tale Chaser's Grille in Tavares. The restaurant rolled out the carpet with special AT the door parking with attendants. The wait staff was impeccable and the food was great.
As a matter of fact everyone there voted that we have our next meeting at the Tale Chasers! So I am trying to contact them now for that reservation.
Thank you to all the showed up at either event and hope to see ALL of you at the August meeting!
