GOOOOOOOOD MORNING ZONE 3!
I know many of you enjoyed Treffen at Sea! What a great trip! This was our third visit to the 50th state and I am always impressed by its beauty! WOW! I am looking forward to next year’s cruise to many New England ports. Many of the local regions at the various ports will show up at the dock and display their cars. How cool is that! Great opportunity to meet members from across North America! Also next year will be the 70th anniversary of our club!
By the numbers!
Membership Contest standings:
