Activities/Tours Report:

-          John I. talked about the May 21/22 tour to Eugene.  The departure time may be adjusted due to the length of the trip.  John will run the route in advance to make sure we’re good.  All told, about 45 people are signed up from the tour with 16-18 driving down from Portland. 

-          John also spoke briefly about the Packard Club Western Regions tour May 18-21 which Joe Munsch will be attending.  Thanks Joe!

-          Bill spoke about the Strawberry Social coming up on June 12th at the Charvet’s.  Howard and Bob Douglas will handle the berries and ice cream.  John will confirm with Dave Charvet whether we need to supply tables and chairs. 

-          John spoke some about the Forest Grove Concours coming up on July 17th.  Matt indicated that you although they have online registration, you can register on paper as well.  He also stated there is no “fee” to register for Forest Grove, but a donation is recommended.  The website has the info.  In addition, there is the tour the day before on the 16th and a concert on Friday night the 15th at Elk Cove winery limited to 100 cars.  Both clubs have donated money and the Packard club will have a corral. 

-          Bill spoke about the Lake Oswego car show being back on this year.  Registration is open.  We do not know if there will be a Classic Car focus this year.  Joe added that the Quinton-Cox tour will be the day before as well.  We may organize something as far as all going in together. 

-          Howard indicated that sadly, Richard Petrosino has a conflict and will not be attending the September tour.  The tour is still overbooked and Sylvia is working to adjust hotel rooms.

-          Howard indicated that the September tour is very overbooked.  We may have to “thin the herd” since he’s not sure additional accommodations can be had.

-          Paul Lawson asked if it was our practice to send thank you cards after events to those that hosted them – such as Tom Clarey for example.  Larry indicated that we are now doing that and he has sent a card to Doug Pollock of SMS Auto Fabrics on behalf of both clubs.  He will continue to do so after events.
