GREAT LAKES CHAPTER

VOLVO CLUB OF AMERICA

AUGUST NEWSLETTER

 

Summer is going quickly but there are still plenty of time left to join your Volvo friends for some fun.

 

August 28 and 29 is the 28th Street Metro Cruise.  Thousands of cars and people.  Lots of things to see and do.  See the website at www.28thstreetmetrocruise.com

 

First there is the Wednesday Night Cruise-in at the Gilmore Car Museum on Wednesday night Sept 2nd (not Wed the 26th of Aug. as previously mentioned).  Hours are 5 till 8 (or 9?). Shoot for being there by the diner at 6. Lots of cool cars and participation is free. Diner will have food and frozen custer. Come visit with your friends.

 

September 15 in Lansing is our regular membership meeting at Clara’s on Michigan St. Starting at 5:30.  We will be planning next year’s events and relaxing and meeting with our friends.

Come one and all.

 

2010 is the 50th Birthday of the Volvo 1800 and there has been some discussion that the Birthday Bash should take place at the Volvos at the Gilmore III (tentatively the weekend of August 14th-15th, 2010).  I would invite you all to comment on that since (as an owner of two 1800’s) I am hardly impartial!!  Send me an email
