Well gang, from where I’m sitting outside on my patio… It looks like that rodent up in Pennsylvania may have gotten the weather forecast right! Today it is 65° and they’re predicting mid 70s by the end of the week. Let’s hope this sticks around!!
There is some big news to share with you guys on several fronts. First, we have partnered with the folks up at Big Truck Farm Brewery in Parkton, where we will now hold our spring and fall car shows. In addition to that, we will hold a cruise night on the second Thursday of each month there. Take a look in this magazine for details on both.
The 63 Comet that Dan Ellerman donated to the foundation has been taken to Ron’s Rods in Kingsville. It will be one of the projects worked on during his Metal Meet on the last weekend of April! We strongly encourage each of you to invite young folks to join us at Ron’s where we will put tools in their hands and show them what to do! Folks who are interested in lending a hand with getting the Comet back on the road and safe to drive and subsequently sell should contact me, Dave or Ron.
We also had a very generous donation from John and Lynn Horn. They donated several toolboxes that we will use to customize and raffle off. They also donated a large roll around cabinet full of tools, which has been sold to a collector on the eastern shore. In addition, they sold a beautiful 1994 Mercury Cougar XR-7 to us for a very reasonable sum. It too, needs a little bit of work, but we will get it running and sell it to replenish our bank account, and hopefully with a considerable profit! If you have a vehicle you would like to donate, please contact. 100% of the net proceeds go to our educational assistance program.
We here at the CCCEF have been working very hard during the off-season. You will notice some changes in our car show, and as I’ve noted above ours donors have stepped up to help make our organization
more of a success than it has been. This year marks our unofficial 10 year anniversary, so you can expect more good things from us in the near future!
I’ll see you on the return road… Doug
