Melrose Rotary Show features Buick this year - This show is run by our own Jack Welch. Last year’s show was supposed to feature our Buicks but was rained out, so we’ll try again this year. Register early using the form on Pages 7 and 8 or register at the gate. Note the rain date of October 4th.
MMC and the Buick Bugle - It’s interesting to note the contributions to the August 2009 issue of the Bugle from Minuteman Chapter members. An article and photo on the GM Assembly Plant in Framingham was contributed by Ross Pini (Page 12) and a letter to the editor by Rose Titus was included (Page 6). And, of course, editor Pete Phillips was a chapter member and newsletter editor when he lived in the Boston area about 20 years ago.
2010 REGIONAL MEET developments - A Regional Meet is under consideration for the summer of 2010 as a prelude to the 2011 National Meet in Danvers.
August 2nd Columbia Show (Hanover, Mass.) - This show drew about 200 cars of all types. A DJ entertained, food was available, and a 50/50 raffle was held. Peer judging held sway. An M37 3/4 ton Dodge truck was awarded Dealer’s Choice. The chapter realized $555 from registrations and other income sources.
August 22 All-Buick Show (Manchester, Conn.) - Director Jon Henry visited the show for a short time and reports a showing of 45 - 50 cars, about half the number showing in 2008.
Pete Phillips father passes away - Dr. Edward H Phillips, Austin College professor of history, passed away August 15, 2009 in Sherman, Texas. He earned a Ph.D. at Harvard University and taught at Rice Univ. before joining the Austin College faculty.
A Cruise night at Patriot Place - Every other Thursday evening at 5:00 pm starting May 7th the Mass. Cruisers run a cruise night. It’s a growing event well worth attending. Early arrivals park in front of the Bass Pro Shop before the overflow moves to an adjacent area. Spouses notice - a shuttle bus is available to move folks from the cruise area to and from all the shops and restaurants at the Place.
