FABACian Olympians!
An interesting e-mail from Terry J:
With all the hype and TV coverage of the Olympics, I think we would be remiss if FABAC did not acknowledge the participation of at least two of our members.
Vanoc (Vancouver Olympic Committee) set out to create nation wide awareness of the Olympics by running the Olympic Torch through as many small towns in Canada as possible, complete with neighborhood celebrations.
By the size of the turnout to hear Carolyn sing, and see Karen run, it seems they succeeded.

Report on February Meeting by Bob E.
Wednesday evening's monthly FABAC meeting and food fight was well attended by twenty-five folks. Gary was there to take the floor and started off with an enthusiastic discussion of this summer's British car meet in Windsor, Nova Scotia. The website is now taking registrations and they have mentioned that dorm rooms will be available on campus for $25 a person. It's been suggested that we all stay there and relive our youth with a rip-roaring dorm party during the evening.
BATANS is planning a couple of trips this summer and it was suggested that we see about joining up with them. Owl's Head, Maine and PEI are the two trips currently on their agenda.
Bob Laroche displayed a large mounted picture of over 300 Triumphs at a meet in Albany, New York in 1986. His car was somewhere in the mix and he dared all to find it.
Kelvin P., with a Union Jack as a backdrop, took some time to explain the significance of St George's Day (April 23rd). He is hosting a pot luck gathering at his home on that day. FABACians are
requested to liaise with him regarding food plans.
With St Patrick's day less than a month away a call was made for suggestions for a gathering of some sort. Any ideas? (David is still attempting to contact Jim W. who has hosted several wonderful St. Pat's parties at their home.)
Disappointingly, there were no further suggestions for the ongoing FABAC motto contest.

FABAC Meeting Wednesday, February 17th
Carolyn has reserved our room at Eastside Marios for 6:00p.m. It is not unusual for some to arrive at 5:30, having suffered withdrawal from some of the nicest folks around. :-)
Spring is coming. In fact it is the next season!
