Due to the possibility of rain on Sunday, May 4th, The Spring Dust Off  Car Show in
Merrick, sponsored by the Oldsmoblie Car Club was cancelled. The show was
re-scheduled to take place on it's rain date, Sunday, May 18th. Our club pre-registered
over 20 of our cars to attend. The pre-registration will be honored on May 18th. If other
club members plan to attend this show and park with us as a club, our club we will
reimburse you the pre-registration fee from the day of show fee.

On Monday, May 26th, our club will again participate in the Annual Levittown Memorial
Day Parade. Our club is based out of Levittown and we support the community by
participating in this parade every year. Over 15 - club cars participated in the parade last
year.

I was able to obtain a two day photo shoot for Ed Torres's 1963 Eldorado Conv. The shoot
took place at a Manhattan Studio on April 29th and April 30th. This shoot was for a
magazine advertisement for Beyonce's mother, Tina Knowles children clothing line. On
behalf of the club, I thank Ed for the generous donation that he made to the club from the
shoot proceeds.  Production companies requiring Cadillacs for commercial use do view our
club's web-site and have used some of our members cars in the past. If your car's photo is
not posted on our site, your car can not be considered for use by production companies.
Our Secretary Of Membership, Steve Krieger has informed me that there are still some
club members that have not paid their 2008 Club membership dues. Final renewal notices
were mailed to those members. As of may 31st, unpaid membership dues will result in the
suspension of the delivery of Our Monthly Newsletter, "The Insider" and removal from our
mailing lists. We do value all our club members, so please be sure your dues are paid.

If you plan on attending the
2008 CLC Grand Nationals  in Cherry Hill, New Jersey in
August, you must register and also make your hotel reservations as soon as possible. The
host hotel is already full and a second hotel is taking reservations. See your CLC Self
Starter for Grand National information or click above to go to the official GN home page.
