LAST NIGHT WE HAD THE PLEASURE OF HAVING MICHAEL CECCHINI ATTEND AND SPEAK TO ALL OF US. WE CERTAINLY WOULDN'T BE WHERE WE ARE TODAY IF IT WEREN'T FOR HIM COMING UP WITH THE IDEA TO START THE CLUB. CHILDREN AND FAMILY OBLIGATIONS HAVE TAKEN UP MUCH OF MICHAEL'S TIME THESE PAST FEW YEARS JUST AS IT DID FOR MANY OF US WHEN WE WERE RAISING OUR CHILDREN. MICHAEL'S PARENT'S LOU AND ARLINE HAVE KEPT THE MOMENTUM GOING, AND THE CLUB HAS JUST GROWN BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS THANKS TO THE "ONE RULE"! THERE ARE NO RULES!!! LET'S KEEP IT THAT WAY BECAUSE IF IT AIN'T BROKE, AS THEY SAY, DON'T FIX IT!
TO HELP US CELEBRATE OUR 20TH ANNIVERSARY, WE WERE HONORED TO HOST A FELLOW WANDERERS CAR CLUB FROM COOPERSTOWN, NEW YORK. LAST YEAR THEY MADE THE FIRST DRIVE DOWN HERE, AND THEY ENJOYED OUR GROUP SO MUCH THAT THEY WANTED TO COME HERE AGAIN TO CELEBRATE WITH US. THEY ARE PURE JOY. WE HAD SO MANY LAUGHS WITH THIS GROUP, AND MEMBER STEVE, WON DON'S PICK OF THE NIGHT FOR A TROPHY. ALTHOUGH THE THUNDER CLOUDS MOVED IN ON US AND THE RAIN CAME DOWN, IT DIDN'T DAMPEN OUR SPIRITS AT ALL. VIC AND I JOINED THEM IN THE MORNING FOR BREAKFAST AT THE HAMPTON DINER. CHECK OUT THE PHOTO PAGES FOR SOME OF THE PICTURES OF THIS FUN NIGHT.
THANK YOU MICHAEL AND THANK YOU LOU AND ARLINE.
