"I will build a motor car for the great multitude. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for the individual to run and care for. It will be constructed of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs that modern engineering can devise. But it will be so low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own -- and enjoy with his family the blessings of hours of pleasure in God's great open spaces."   

Henry Ford, 1907 

Henry Ford was the American
founder of the Ford Motor Company
and father of modern assembly
lines used in mass production.
His introduction of the Model T
automobile revolutionized
transportation and
American industry.

MARCH 4 Annual Club Swap Meet
Time to start cleaning out the garage and gathering the parts you no longer need for our Annual Club Swap Meet in the parking lot before the March Meeting.

NEW THIS YEAR FOR THE LADIES: Do you have anything you've been wondering what to do with but don't have the time to go to a swap meet (or you shudder when you think of sending it along with your hubby because who knows what might happen to it mixed in with all those car parts). Bring them to the March meeting. Non-car part items for sale will be inside.

Join us as we help Palestine celebrate the 74th Annual Texas Dogwood Trails Celebration. Come see the abundance of Dogwood Blooms (determined by the weather?) among the rolling hills of East Texas.

Friday: We will travel over mostly county and FM roads for about a 130 mile drive to Palestine. Along the way we'll stop for lunch in Seven Points. If time allows, we may have a special stop just outside Palestine, or you may have time to enjoy some of the Historic Downtown & Old Town Palestine festivities. That evening we will have a catered dinner in the hotel.

Saturday: After a hotel breakfast we will drive up and down the hilly Davey Dogwood Park. Then we will head along a tree lined scenic route to Frankston for lunch. We are tentatively planning a side trip while in the area. The route back to Palestine will be a different scenic route. Dinner and banquet that eveing will be at Ryan's.

Sunday: Getting an early start after breakfast at the hotel, we will head back home. Lunch will be in Mabank.

Since I am a rookie (never completed a tour and never been Chairman) I thought it wise to have a co-chair. Nothing is better than having another rookie help with the planning.
So, expect the unexpected!
Larry
