August Activity

Page 3

September 2019

We had a real nice road tour and peach orchard visit planned for August, but due to the increasingly warm temperatures here in North Texas (it was HOT!) we decided to adjust and not put our classic cars under a summer stress. Instead, we had a nice lunch at Two Guys From Italy here in Dallas. Bill Levy, Doug Ash-by and Kathleen Farland, Ron and Karen Fishell, Min-nie Bedrick, and Jim Hanson met for the lunch and in the air conditioned restaurant. We had a nice time. Hopefully, as the weather adjusts, we will have more outdoor activities.

Would you like to see your Cadillac on the pages of the NTXCLC newsletter? This small, but deluxe publication gets circulation, not only in our region, but is sent to many of the CLC clubs across the nation and world. By appearing here your story can become part of Cadillac history. I need your story and your pic-tures. It could be a story about the vehicle as it is now, or it can be a restoration article, or a funny, interesting, or even a sad story. But its about your car, and this means it is about you, too. If you feel you can’t write well enough, send me the basics and I will help you write the story. I have many pages to present monthly, and I have room for you in them. So, don’t feel embarrassed—email me, or call me, or see me at the NTXCLC outings and let’s make history.

I need to know in advance who is coming to make reservations, so email me at lif-er@writeme.com or call me at (214) 563-1033 by September 20th.

There are 16 car clubs that manage the Pate Swap Meet each year. If every member of the North Texas Region Cadillac & LaSalle club recruited just one new member each, we would be the biggest club in the swap meet. Remember, the member count, besides meaning a more fun and interesting club, gets the club a bigger share of the Pate income. If a member obtains 5 or more new members to the NTXCLC they will receive a free Club Shirt at the annual Christmas dinner.
