And now fall is quickly approaching and there are some shows to attend. Recently, at the Wheels of Faith Car show Tom, Walt and I were talking about our club. Other than our Nazareth Days Car Show, we as a club, have not attended a show together. So one of the nicest shows coming up is the North Catasauqua Autumn Fest and Car Show on October 13, 2018. Let s plan to attend as a group. The show features a craft show, vendors that sell some good food and desserts, and there is always a candy and fudge stand if you have a sweet tooth. The form is in this newsletter, so fill it out and send it in and let s go! I would like to thank Tom Hollenbach for taking over the newsletter as editor again. Tom is a stickler for the deadline, so you will be getting your newsletter in a timely manner now. Thanks Tom! Our upcoming General Meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 4th at the Parkland Restaurant. I am asking that you attend so we can decide on hosting a VTCI convention for 2019. Years ago our club was a member of the Vintage Thunderbird Club International and due to similar issues, that occurred with ITC recently, our Club dropped out. Being associated with a National Club helps a local club s members get help with maintenance and service of their cars and discounts from parts suppliers. So, Lehigh Valley rejoined VTCI several years ago. The VTCI has many members in the Northeast area and it has been a long time since they held a convention here, and they are asking us to host one for them. At this upcoming meeting we need to make a decision, PLEASE ATTEND!!!!! See You Soon. Thanks, Vince SEPTEMBER BIRTHDAYS Alan Miller 9/2 John J.

The agenda is very important to this club. Need to make a decision on if we would Host a VTCI convention 2019
