Director’s Message
The weather has finally dipped below 100 degrees,
which can only mean one thing... It's time for a
whole slew of new Buick outings!!! This Saturday,
October 8th, Leroy will be hosting a license plate
show at the Voyager RV park. It will feature a small
car show, so just let him know if you can make it!
The next day, Sunday, October 9th, will feature our
annual outing to Flight Safety. We will meet at 9 am
at Jerry Bob's on Valencia, then proceed to Flight
Safety at 10 am. Flight Safety is located at 1071 E
Aeropark Rd, just off Old Nogales Highway. For
those of you who have not attended this event in the
past, Howard allows the club to play on his
company's multi-million dollar Learjet simulators.
The realism is simply incredible! My goal is to fly
underneath the Golden Gate Bridge without
crashing. Or with crashing...
This Tuesday's general meeting will feature
Tucson's own transmission guru, Dave Sharp.
Many thanks to Bob Gietl for making this
presentation a reality. We will also feature pizza, so
don't miss it!
On a more self-centered note, my 69 Skylark finally
made it's first major magazine debut! It landed a
centerfold pose in the international design magazine
Wallpaper, complete with a Versace clad model
leaning on the trunk. I'll bring a copy to the
meeting. I must say, the model's legs really bring
out the curves in my Buick's design...
I'll see everybody at the meeting!
"Cheers"
-Alex

Editor’s Comments
Hello all. Hope all is going well with you and
your family. Lets get to the meat of the
newsletter. We have less then a month to finish
activities for the car show. Everyone needs to turn
in a registration form. I want to ensure it is all set
up for a smooth event this year. I am expecting to
have over 75 cars this year. Make sure you hand
out flyers when you see any stray Buick around
town.
Outings: 1) Leroy’s AZ Plate Collectors show. It is
this Saturday, Oct. 8 th. We need to show our
support and bring our cars to this event. Leroy
even said he would buy lunch if we bring a car. I
will have to bring my wife’s AHOTMOM license
plate. 2) Flight Safety on Sunday, Oct. 9 th. We
will be meeting at Jerry Bob’s on Valencia just
east of Tucson Blvd. at 09:00 for breakfast. We
will make it to Flight Safety at 10:00. Call Howard
for sign up and directions 520.625.5396. 3) Valley
of the Sun All Buick car show on Saturday, Oct.
29 th. We will be meeting at 07:15 to caravan to the
show. See attached map.
Show: We should get the dealership shop opened
on Friday night if you wanted to bring your car
down early. Meet there about 6:30 PM. The final
layout will be performed that night. Show up if
you wanted to help with it. Everything else seems
to be going according to plan. The DJ, food, Polo
shirts, etc have all been arranged. We just need
you to show up to the show. I wanted to get 75
cars this year. Please help us attain this goal.
Please show up between 7:30 and 8:00 the day of
the show. This will allow us to help get the cars
arranged and organized before the masses show
up.
