Report on FABAC October Meeting Oct.17

We REALLY have to find some larger dinner rooms. There wasn't an empty seat in the upper lounge at McGinnis Landing on Wednesday evening. The star of the evening has to go to Robert & Rita's gorgeous Citroën Traction Avant—a little bit of vintage Parisienne elegance in our midst.

Jim & Ellie have requested that others take on more of the trip planning scheduling. As much as they have enjoyed doing it, they would like the opportunity to take more of a back seat on tours. On this note, all were asked to think about day trips they'd like to see (and maybe arrange) in the coming year.

John B had an interesting story about having to fly to the UK to buy a matching tire from India to bring back here for a concours d'elegance event.

A run will be scheduled for the last weekend in October (Sunday the 28th) before the folks with seasonal plates have to park for the winter. This will be a shorter one with gorgeous weather—I promise!

The next meeting (November 21st) will be at the Wolastoq Wharf at 527 Union Street on the northside.

2CV Bob and Traction Rita will be stepping up to the plate and will be inviting the Fabac fraternity to their cottage at Grand Lake next August, its about an hour from Fton just past the Rotary Camp.
We were thinking of a pot luck, swimming and boat tours with perhaps Kelvin at the throttle should keep everyone entertained.

Wow! That's great. Looking forward to pinning down a date that we can circle on our calendars.
