PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

When you read this, we will have had our Summer Picnic.

If you attended, you know it was a great day and I do

thank the Brennans for their hospitality and all the

others responsible for helping to make this picnic

memorable.

The VA cruise went very well and I would like to thank

those of you who participated. The

veterans really enjoyed viewing the

cars. Also, the Director at Grace

Manor Assisted Living Facility

indicated this week that the

residents are still talking about the

cars that came there in August.

Thanks again.

There are tours and many other events

planned for October. I do hope you

take advantage of the nice days we

have left before the snow falls and

the cars are stored away for the

season.

Michael

MINUTES OF NORTH HILLS HISTORIC AUTO CLUB

On September 11, 2011 the monthly meeting of the North Hills Historic Auto

Club was held at the Brennan residence after the picnic dinner. After the

Pledge of Allegiance, Lee Greenwood’s patriotic song was played by Jan

Smith. A correction was noted by Bob Zufall in the Minutes printed in the

Newsletter. Otherwise the Minutes of the August, 2011 meeting were

accepted by Bob Zufall and seconded by Dee Glesner. Treasurer Jack Swaney

read the Treasurer’s Report indicating that as of 9/11/11 the Club has

$6,019.12 in its treasury. Carol Vivaldi motioned to accept the

Treasurer’s Report and Ed Tarr seconded.

Dave, Becky’s friend, was a guest at our meeting. Janet Hohman was at the

meeting and we were all glad to see her.

Club a report about the Wings & Wheels Tour and said that Marlene Sipp won

tour to Ohio was a good one and, even after getting sick in Steve’s

Turnpike Cruiser, his grandson is still alive! The Mt. Morris tour is

scheduled for October 23rd. Reservations are required by October 21

st. You

can bring a modern car if you like since it is going to be a long trip.

the Foxburg tour. We would like to thank Chuck Glenz for hosting our

September picnics in the past. October 1, 2011 is the car show at the Mars
