A reputable source tells me the drive and eat was fun as usual. It sounded like there was a good turn out and the food was delightful. Thanks to Gary and Joan for setting this up. For us first timers, Texas was all it was suggested and then some. For a few of us that managed to squeeze in an extra bonus there just was not enough time to enjoy all the events available to do. But what a rush driving around the Texas Motor Speedway even thought the pace cars were governed way to slow. And how often do you see a 3½ mile line of corvettes on parade, what a sight. As we start into June don t forget our upcoming events. Lake Afton s All Wheels Day on the 8th, the Life Center show in Andover on the 14th, the Fathers Day Officer at Large.........Linn Smith 316-806-8004 N.C.C.C. Governor......

We would like to have all members available for this picture. This will give us a great photo to place on the web site and be available to send to blue bars or other publications to promote ACCC. I am told there will also be a barbecue dinner available to all that are there. We will discuss this at the meeting so if you have any questions please bring them to the meeting. Also, the NCCC convention starts on the 21st and runs through the 27th. This is a great opportunity to see the NCCC in operation. See you at the meeting Monte Page 1
