PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Hello everyone,
If you were not at the May club meeting, you missed an interesting hour. My wife said I lost control of the meeting, but I say the conversation was carefully guided by the president. Any-way, we were discussing some final de-tails about the upcoming car show, when Rick McClure said he wouldn't be able to be in charge of parking cars. However, his son Nicklas will fill in for him. Rick remem-bered starting the same way, helping his dad at our car show many years ago. Then John Kaiser said, even though this year's car show is the 42nd, there was an earlier one ,43 years ago, just to try it. I heard a lot of in-teresting history, things I didn't know.
This year's car show is on June 1st. We could use everybody's help.
See you soon, Jan
The Wellness and Condolences position is now being shared by Jackie Sheerer
and Jack Swaney. Jackie will send get-well cards from the club to hospitalized
members, and Jack will send floral arrangements or fruit baskets for funerals.
BREAKING NEWS The Memorial Day Parade in
Aspinwall is Monday, May
26. Have your car on Com-
mercial Ave. by 10:00 am.

After the Pledge of Allegiance, President Jan Smith asked if there were any additions or cor-
rections to the minutes of the April 2014 meeting. There were none. Jennie Barker made a
motion to accept the minutes, and Antoinette Quinn seconded. Treasurer Jack Swaney asked
President Jan Smith to read the Treasurer’s Report. After the April expenses, there is a bal-
ance of $5,732.01. Mike Quinn made a motion to accept the Treasurer’s Report, and Steve
Illsley seconded.
Wellness Report Rick Kelley is home from the hospital, and doing better.
Al Fugini has been released from the hospital to a rehab facility.
Tony Viviano passed away.
Ken Brennan Jr, the son of Pat Brennan and the late Ken Brennan Sr. passed away suddenly.
Guests
Bill Ferraro was a guest at the meeting.
Old Business President Jan Smith reported that the Seaton Hill tour and the luncheon tour were very
good. Steve Illsley announced upcoming tours. Please contact him, if you are interested in
attending any of the tours.
Mike Quinn read a thank you note from Cindy Cook.
New Business Don Grauert brought up the issue of having the flyers for the Car Show available earlier
next year. Joe Somerville asked members to arrive at the Car Show by 7 a.m. to
help set up for the show. Members will be parking in the front again
this year. Since Bob McClure will be unable to attend the show, his son Nicholas
will be carrying on the family tradition of parking cars. Club members were asked to volunteer to be sponsors for the show.
There was much discussion to make sure all the responsibilities were
covered for the Car Show. Judges and volunteers for registration are
still needed.
The next meeting will be on June 8, 2014. There being no further business to discuss, Steve Illsley made a motion
to adjourn the meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
Bonnie Smith

The $383 Car
It’s a 1949 Cadillac, completely covered with
38,295 pennies! They were affixed one by one
using Silicone. They added over 200 pounds to
the vehicle's weight. The entire project took 6
weeks. The pennies are American, and include
an 1817 "Big Cent", two Error Pennies, and
four 1943 Steel pennies; (but who's counting?).
And, it won't scratch.

Hi North Hills Members
Some family issues have caused me to miss the last couple of meetings so I
haven’t had the early start soliciting judges for 2014.
Anyone wanting to help, please email me at cirilli@zoominternet.net or call
me at 724-449-3323 and let me know your first and second choices; I will let
you know if they are already spoken for.
We had a very good judge’s core last year; let’s try to repeat this year.
Robert D Cirilli
Tony Viviano
The club mourns the passing of Tony Viviano on
April 25. In addition to his love of antique and classic cars,
Tony was a 4th Degree Knight with the Knights of
Columbus and was a member of St. Teresa of Avila,
where he was an avid member of their bowling
league. We will miss his smile.
