President Delores, Marg Smith & Tour organizer Shirley Mullen
Hello to all ACCP members &
friends:
As we face November we can look
back on another good year of club activities.
Blessed with a beautiful old fashioned summer and autumn and with so many
active members, clearly our club is in good shape.
Our annual Colour Tour was
outstanding! With foliage still in
vibrant colour, the 300 km route planned by Shirley and Ellsworth Mullen was a
great way to wind up our driving months. To add to the flavour, we were treated to a few
snow squalls just to add some “icing on the cake”. Thanks to Shirley and
Ellsworth, who hosted the marvelous time together. We toured up to spectacular vantage points in
the hills around Schutt where hostess Shirley offered up an array of baking and
juices behind the Buick in the church parking lot. As in earlier years, at our stop alongside
Centennial Lake, we toasted our hosts with Dave’s maple Sortilege, adding a
little warmth after the snow experience.
Early supper at the Red Neck Café in Calabogie nicely completed the
tasty portion of the trip. Thanks to all of you for sharing in the laughs that
made this day so enjoyable.
Jim Savage, our Christmas party
steering person, is getting things underway for our Christmas Shine, Saturday,
December 12th. Socializing will begin at
5 p.m. As usual a full-course meal will
be catered at 7 p.m. Thanks to Gale and John Hanson, door and dance
prizes have been purchased and wrapped and we will have unique live entertainment.
Tickets will be available for the dinner and dance by the middle of November
from Wendy at TerMarsch Fuels. A cut-off date of Friday December 4th for
tickets is necessary to have numbers for the caterer. The price for the
tickets will be determined at our November meeting and to comply with the
permit, you can place your LCBO order then too.
November is our nomination
meeting. Ron Roy has canvassed the
membership to determine who may have interest in holding office in the coming
two-year term. As we move into our fifty-third year of this car club, we are
pleased to hear that there is healthy interest by some to step up into the
executive positions. I am pleased to say
that this demonstrates that we have a healthy club of friends who want to see
it all continue.
As a reminder for recipients of
trophies last December, please return them for our November 4th
meeting at The Kingburger Restaurant so we can prepare them for this year’s
awards.
Please get your auction items
ready. Our October auction brought in $95.00
and a wealth of laughs as usual.
Safe driving on Happy Trails,
until we meet again………. Delores
