A Note from Director Jon Henry

Director’s Corner

with  Jon Henry

 

Work continues on plans for the 2010 Regional Meet in Mansfield and the 2011 National Meet in Danvers.  The directors of the chapter plan to expand administrative meetings to the general membership as soon as locations can be selected to allow at least some convenience for travel from the extremities of the chapter boundaries.  Breakfast meetings sound good to me.....  Call with suggestions, or if you want to host or volunteer a meeting site, Jack Welch at 617-838-3525 (cell), or 781-662-4423 (home), or Jon Henry at 508-245-9093 before 9:00 pm.

Many thanks to contributors who wrote articles for the newsletter about the National Meet held in Colorado.  All I can add is that I drove out and back, about 4,400 miles in the Electra, gas mileage varying from a high of 17 mpg to a low of 13 mpg for local driving with the a/c on.  As they say, the Electra is one of Buick’s best long distance cars, with everything but a fireplace on board!  A retired dealer at the National Meet told me that the Electra series was one of his best money makers in new car sales and in premium trade-ins.

 

Other car shows and events have taken me to Macungie, PA (2 trips), Endicott Estate in Dedham, Columbia GM show in Hanover, the chapter BBQ, the Yankee Chapter show in Manchester, CT, and numerous cruise nights.  There is no lack of opportunities to carry the flag for the Buick cars and General Motors.

 

Many thanks to Bob and Deb Frascatore for the outstanding effort they put forth to host the chapter barbeque.  They have acquired a beautiful new home and a good spot for the family business which Bob showed to his visitors with his usual energetic commentary!

 

Pay attention to the calendar of upcoming events.  Thanks to Al Dann.
