August 2007 Directors Message

         Our Region's 40th anniversary celebration is happening Saturday, August 25th. Like some of you, I too have never been to Centralia's Fort Borst Park, the birth place of our Puget Sound Region. It will be interesting to see where, in the early years of the Club, Northwest VCCA members met each year. Also, it will be interesting to hear long-time members recall those years and what they were like. In addition, there will be pictures of our four decades continuously showing on our projector. So, we better get our cars polished, our things packed, and be ready to roll on that Saturday.
      Issaquah's XXX will be waiting for us on Monday. There we can share pictures from Fort Borst and talk about what didn't get talked about on Saturday and all our summer car activities.
     Take care, drive safely, see you there.                                                                              Bill Damm

Anniversary Tour and Party August 25

The time has come for our 40th Anniversary Tour and Party. The event is at Fort Borst Park in Centralia, the location of the Northwest Meets for the first ten years. We have the kitchen for the day and will be serving members a meal to celebrate the occasion. The Tour will start from the Northwest corner of the Southcenter parking Lot leaving there at 8:30 AM. The first stop will be Wapato Park in Tacoma where a picture of the group will be taken. The Tour leaves that location at 10:00 AM. [Wapato Park directions; FROM I-5 TAKE THE 72ND STREET EXIT EAST 2 BLOCKS TO SHERIDAN AND TURN LEFT, THEN THE NEXT LEFT INTO WAPATO PARK. KEEP TO THE RIGHT AND DRIVE 2 TENTHS OF A MILE TO THE PARKING LOT]. The tour from Southcenter will approach Wapato Park from a different direction. (See more on the event on page 8.)
