Presidents Message - January 2024
Hello club members and friends.
April is upon us and while taxes were due, cheer up there are several fun upcoming events.
The March lunch at The Irishman was wonderful and the club dinner was classy, delicious, and well attended. Also several of us went on the Bluebonnet Tour last Saturday that Michael and Jennifer Brenner put together and had a great time. Here is still what is going on this month.
April:
Sunday, April 21st: All British and European Car Day, White Rock Lake Park, Dallas. I believe they have secured the same facility as last year for us, the Bath House Cultural Center on the east side of the lake. The club has reserved a place for us. Join us if you can. The Bath House is located on the east side of the lake and there is signage showing how to get there from Buckner Boulevard / Loop 12.
Saturday, April 27th: Vick Autosports – Open House 2024, 601 E. Chambers Street, Cleburne, TX. They are located at 601 E. Chambers Street, Cleburne. They have free food and drinks and give away awesome prizes. The open house starts at 10:00 am and ends at 3:00 but you do not have to stay the entire time. Vick’s is owned by Jerry Phillips, who was one of the founders of our club and ItaliannCarFest. If there is enough interest, I will put together a drive like I did last year. We would need to meet up at 9:00 am in Midlothian and leave at 9:30 for a fun drive to Cleburne.
President’s Message:
We still need a few volunteers to fill some club officer vacancies. We need a club secretary as Robbyne Tommasi has stepped down and we need someone to step up.
I have enjoyed being your president for many years now and look forward to this year. There are a lot of wonderful events planned for the year. Join us if you can, it’s ok if you cannot. But most of all, get out there and drive. You may think your Italian car is not a show queen, but to others it is a rarity and will draw attention no matter where you go. Cheers!
