over 30 vehicles showing up, and for us, that’s a milestone. The
better than ever showing was due in no small part to a number

of things, and couple of really hard working people. First off, our
“Publicity Chairperson”, Roberta Mittleman, well, I don’t think
she missed a single possible outlet when it came to publicizing
this event. Then member Dave Zatz, who also runs the
Allpar.com Website, http://www.allpar.com, added his two
cents worth to the effort. Finally, the decision last March by the

ALL AMC products, absolutely helped boost attendance out our
“Meet.” I have to say we had a nice variety of vehicles too as a
result of opening up our “Meet” to a wider audience, and our
new found friends were a pleasure to have at our event.
We will be adding at least 2 new Trophies to next year’s
“Meet”, in recognition of the fact that the group with the Dodge
Ram Pickups brought a good showing of vehicles, and promised
even more for next year. We also had a beautiful 1939 Dodge
Luxury Liner at this year’s “Meet”, and we certainly hope its
owner, John Daly, will be back again next year, maybe even
bring a few of his friends with him.
I think I’ve said enough for the moment about our
fantastic turnout, and just overall great even t, so I’ll resort to
my usual tactic of letting the pictures tell the rest of the story.
