Club Treasurer

We are looking for a club member to volunteer to fill the Treasurer position. If you are interested, please contact Larry Conant or Alan Groome.

Alan Groome drove his 1949 Ford F1. The brand new coil failed but he found a 1/3 bottle of coke in a ditch and poured it over coil to cool it. He was able to crank NEW BLUE and limp home!! What an adventure he had!
