Beginning with mid-march, our commitment to SACC began tenuously. The weather was uncooperative, the crowds were small and the new rules to comply with city food handling codes were confusing and frustrating. But, we managed to hang in there and complete our six weeks. as a result, we will be receiving a check for $344 which was the amount of the final weeks proceeds. As I'm the the treasurer of SACC, I will be writing the check this week! I want to thank all those who came out to help at one time or another......Beast, Roland, Billy, Eric, Logan, Brett, Tom B, Bubba and Donnie. If I missed any one who helped....oops, sorry.  

Fiesta San Antonio began mid-April. With all the activities going on during Fiesta, finding time for the newsletter was very difficult. Sorry it's late, but here it is. The crowds seemed bigger that ever in spite of  of the rain. NIOSA, Cornyation, King William fair, the river parade, the Battle of Flowers parade, the Fiesta Flambeau parade, all the parties (including our own pre fiesta party) during the parade period, the after Fiesta parties...whew, no wonder it took so long to recuperate!  Can't wait for next year!! 

May 1st was the LaBahia Corridor Cruise. We had two participants. Russell in his '56 Packard and me in my '67 Ambassador. we left the tri-point area at 8:30 with our first stop in Lavernia, that was followed by Sutherland Springs, Market days in Floresville, Stockdale and finally Seguin for their big car show in the town square. There were probably 200 cars in that show. All of the towns had a welcoming committee who greeted all the participants. it was a great cruise and if you missed it, you missed a great time. don't forget that in the fall there will be the Hill Country cruise.

May 15th a group of us made it to Dick's Classic Car Museum in San Marcus, First we stopped at Woody's BBQ down the street from the Museum for some really good food. Woody's is a car theme BBQ place so it seemed very appropriate. we then made it over to the museum. There was a wonderful collection of beautiful cars. a Packard limo, several Duesenbergs, several Packards, Studebakers, some Cords, a Tucker and a great assortment of other makes. this museum is well worth the $10 entrance fee. if you get the Chance, you definitely NEED to go for a visit.

 ACE WEEKEND 

here's a correction. I had put in the calendar the wrong dates for ACE Weekend. the correct dates are August 5th - the 8th. as we've done in the past, we are working the registration. during our last club meeting, I was asked to see if we can do two cocktail parties. the answer is yes we can. when the schedule for the cocktail parties comes out, I will put us down for two parties. for our members who have never done ACE Weekend, this is a four day party consisting of several cocktail parties in the various participating bars, a hat contest, raffles, two dinners, a breakfast, and a finale show. residents of san antonio, Bexar county and the immediate counties surrounding pay $10 to participate. it's free to participants from outside the area. so if you are from any area outside san antonio, Bexar, Wilson, medina,kendal,guadalupe and Atascosa county, you pay nothing. there is also a raffle for a 42" flat screen TV with built in blue ray DVD player. tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20. many other prizes are being raffled. all money raised after expenses go to local aids related charities chosen in September. come have a g reat time!

I attended the 33rd annual National Rolls-Royce Owners' Club Inter-regional event held in Orlando, Florida in February. The event this year was in honor of the 100th anniversary of the death of C. S. Rolls and was named Wheels-to-Wings.
