PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE - JULY 2010


Summer has finally arrived. Our club's Activity Chairmen & Board are continuing to plan club
sponsored car shows and events for the season. Some of our club members have also been attending  
nightly Car Cruises that take place almost every night of the week. Members also participate at other
car shows and event, in the area and tri state area.
On Saturday, June 5th, The CLC New York Capital Region's car show took place outside the
Saratoga Automobile Museum, in Saratoga Springs. In attendance representing  our club were Ken &
Sandi Kanner (1996 Eldorado), Matt & Nina D'Agostino (1989 Allante), Artie Koestner (2006 DTS)
and  Maria & myself with our 93 Allante. Except for Artie, our group make a weekend stay in
Saratoga. On Friday night, we attended a local car cruise with members from CLC Capital Region,
After the car cruise, we enjoyed dinner at a nice restaurant. On Saturday morning, the car show took
place. Many show quality Cadillacs & LaSalles on display. This was a judged show with trophy
being awards to the best car in each decade.
I'm glad to announce that Ken Kanner's 1996 Eldorado with only 18,000 received the award for the
90's decade. We also toured the museum. After the car show, we attended a late lunch at BBQ
restaurant that has a special private parking area for the cars from the car show. During the evening,
our group enjoyed a visit to the Casino at Saratoga Raceway. We headed back home on
Sunday morning. Our group had an enjoyable weekend away. It was also a pleasure to see our
former club member Dr. Joe Rogieri,  his wife Carrie and their two children. Dr. Joe is the Vice
President of the N.Y. Capital Region, and  organized the weekend event.
We thank Dr. Joe and it's region members for their hospitality.
On Saturday, the free Car Show / Tailgate Party &  indoor Doo Wop Concert that took place at the
Izod Center, next to the Meadowlands in New Jersey. In attendance from our club were, John
Ledwith & friend (1939 LaSalle), Bob & Matty Wirsing (1973 Coupe Deville), Ralph Depalma &

up his large tent in the parking lot. We enjoyed a BBQ lunch, sandwiches, snacks and beverages, not
to mention the hundreds of classic and specialty cars on location. There were also Doo Wop groups
singing in the parking lot. We entered the Izod Center at 6PM and saw a fantastic Free Doo Wop
Concert. We had an enjoyable afternoon and evening.
On Sunday, June 13th, Our Club's Spring II Car show took place at Pep Boys, located in
Lindenhurst. In attendance were over 30 cars. The Pep Boys Choice Award was awarded to Tony

On Saturday, June 19th, 10 of our club cars attended the Annual Car Show at Auto Mat in
Hicksville. We enjoyed free breakfast and finally, we were able to see our club member Ann
Weissert's 1954 Coupe Deville and  club member Carlos Menese's 1957 Sedan Deville. Ann
Weissert's Car received the Best Restoration Story Trophy Award.  Over 200 cars were in
attendance.   At our July monthly club meeting, Bob Fuller should have the completed results of the
membership survey pertaining to Trophy Awards  that  were awarded at our club sponsored car
shows. Our club Officers and Board Members will be meeting to review the new Club's "By Laws"
that were re-written and updated by the volunteer By Laws Committee headed by Bob Brennan and
Bob Fuller. We will keep the membership updated on it's progress. Pertaining to our club's Financial
Records, I attended a meeting with Maria, our club's Treasurer and club member Joe Johnson, a
CPA. Joe recommends that we update the method used to maintain our financial records by using the
computer program Quick Book. Many small business's are using this program. Our web-master Matt
D'Agostino is familiar with this program and will assist Maria with setting up and entering all of our
club's financial record data into the program. Joe Johnson has agreed to then view the records.
I hope all our club members that are fathers enjoyed Father's Day and a Happy 4th Of July to all.

Regards,
        Fred
