Thanks to Jack Garabedian for taking the group photo. Do
we need to make this an annual event? Shall we meet in
Bloomfield again? Will one of the other clubs host it next
time?

Sept 19th State Region Gathering in
Bloomfield, Ky
By Mary Anne and Ray Szeluga
What a fun gathering of Kentucky AACA regions. From
great weather to meeting other AACA Kentucky Region
members. The forecasted rain didn't materialize. We met at
the Versailles Dairy Queen before touring to Bloomfield,
KY. Thanks to Charlie and Carolyn Simpson for leading the
tour. AACA member's cars starting arriving after 11AM.
We have been trying to organize this event for
approximately three (3) years. There were many starts and
stops over the years. Well it finally happened. Three (3) of
the Kentucky's five (5) Regions were represented; Blue
Grass (Lexington), KYANA (Louisville / Southern Indiana
and Southern (Bowling Green). Approximately 60
members (30 cars) enjoyed the fellowship. I believe the
oldest car was a 1920(?) Ford Model T Delivery truck.
Thanks to the Bloomfield Masonic Lodge for cooking
lunch. Mary Anne had a hot dog and hamburger while Ray
had two hot dogs plus a hamburger. The sun was baking
down and it was great to have a shelter. There were enough
picnic tables for everyone.
Betty, from KYANA, provided ideas for Region flags and
screen printed t-shirts. She also told how they earn points

September 5th Cars & Coffee (Non-Club
Event)
October 2015
By Jack Garabedian
September 5th, Saturday, Cars & Coffee met at the new
larger location at the Value City parking lot in Hamburg.
Wow, we really had a great turnout. I think we had a total of
101 cars and total of 9 AACA Bluegrass Region members
attended, that’s a first! I want to thank those who brought
out their cars. It was hot and getting slightly humid. There
were many fine looking cars as well as a few rare ones.
Some of my picks are; 1950 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1950 Ford,
1969 Dodge Dart GT, 1977 Continental Mark V and 1933
Plymouth Coupe street rod. We all had a great time and the
coffee as well as the food from Cosi was very good.
September 12th Liberty Ridge Car Cruise In
(Non-Club Event)
By Jack Garabedian
Saturday, September 12th, was the second annual Liberty
Ridge Cruise-In fund raiser for Alzheimer’s. A few of us
(AACA members) made the event even though the weather
threatened us with signs of rain. Those who displayed their
cars received a dash plaque and two meal tickets, my
favorite part. They served flamed broiled burgers, hot dogs,
brats, drinks, chips & popcorn from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
They did something different this year from last year. They
had the residents’ committee pick 6 of their favorite cars
and present each owner with a trophy. I would guess they
had a total of 50 cars to choose from. Mr. Claude Swiney
proudly presented a trophy to one of our own, Jimmy
Powell, in his 1950 Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop.
Congratulations Jimmy! It was fun and best of all, the
people at Liberty Ridge were great!

Notes from the President
By Phil Schneider
We had a good showing for the state meet in Bloomfield
this month. I think we had more cars than the Louisville
club which is 2-3 times our size. The Bowling Green club is
way down in members but had a good group show up. If we
do a tour down that way we should get together with them.
This month is our overnight put on by John and Billie.
Should be interesting and I am sure there still rooms for
both nights. Lo and I are heading to Boone and Asheville
after the tour if anyone would like to join us.
We did not have a board meeting last month do to some
family matters. We will meet this month so let me know if
there is anything you feel we need to discuss.
You will be getting a call in the next month or so about
running for the board. This year we only elect three board
members as officers now serve for two years. The job does
