Happy Spring Fellow LVTC Members!

I would like to thank the following members, in A to Z order for tructing the weather forcasters and bringing their car out for display: A. Ken Anderson B. Gene Aucott C. Lynne and Mickey Day D. Jerry and Ruth Engle E. Walt and Sandi Fries Jr. F. Bill and Sally Ingraham G. Duane Jones and I brought the donuts! We found out from the Auto Show Director that the Dealer Association actually received a significant amount of phone calls asking when the Thunderbirds were going to be on display. So I am really grateful for ll who showed up and supported the display! It is great advertising for our club to be part of the Auto Show. Also, we had three new to Thunderbird owners come to meet us so hopefully we will get three ne members. Speaking of Members, there are some that have not renewed yet..what s up with that? Let me or any Board member know what we need to do to keep you involved in the club. There is going to be a lot happening an you don t want to miss out! Hope to see you at on of our upcoming activities or meetings!
