The meeting was called to order by Chuck Solger at 1:55 PM.
The minutes of the April meeting were approved as published in the newsletter.
The treasurer’s report was read for April and May. It was agreed that the checking account balance will no longer be published in the minutes of the meeting.
A motion was made by Jim McCaffrey and seconded by Bill Lashua to accept the treasurer’s report as read.
From the Prez
The last three weeks of May were a very busy time for the car club
The car show at the Power House Mall, run by the expert experience of Jim Austin, was a great success. Thanks Jim and thanks to all who brought vehicles. Also a special thanks to Jay Austin, his daughter Meredith as well as Penny Austin for all their help in setting up.
The fourth Saturday found us on a car tour to Ayer Mass to visit the KTR Motorsports facility. This was very interesting, as this company specializes in service, repair, performance upgrade and restoration of vintage European sport and race cars. Although Max was not able to lead the tour, the able Jim McCaffrey volunteered to do it. After tours of various parking lots he found his way to KTR. Thanks Jim for this very scenic tour.
The last event in May was a drive to the VA Hospital in White River to listen to the Lyme Town Band and attend a Memorial Day service after which we went to Dan and Elizabeth Downes for a pot luck picnic. The rain held off and we all had a good time eating and socializing. The wood graining demonstration was cancelled but maybe next year.
In closing I want to mention the noon cookout at Mike Delaney’s in Chester. Please RSVP so Mike has a head count. 802-875-2374
Two State Parade, 4th of July
Once again we will be having a BBQ at the Solger’s after the 2 State Parade in Fairlee and Orford. Please be at the parade site in Orford on Route 10 at 10:30 AM. We will go through the parade and then proceed down Route 5 and 244 to the Solgers home.
Please RSVP to 802-333-4577 so Chuck knows how many burgers, dogs and buns to cook.
Please bring a dish to pass and your drink of choice.

Spring Dust Off Tour Photos
A great time was had by everyone that went on the KTR Tour in Ayer Ma on Saturday.
Here are some photos from the tour.
We were sorry that Max couldn’t make the tour as he was not feeling well Saturday. We missed his guidance, but, Jim did a great job filling in for him, the parking lot tours were an added bonus.
Thanx Jim.
