THOUGHTS FROM THE PRESIDENT OF
OAK SPOKES — GERALD BLACKWELL
Summer is over so we can start preparing for some wintertime weather. I hope we have a nice fall so maybe we
can get our old cars out a few more times.
I was contacted by Barb Hough’s family and they invited
the club to come and wish Barb a VERY HAPPY 90th
BIRTHDAY on November 1 from 1-4pm at her home at
1016 Southwest Dr. I would like for all of our members
to meet near the park across from the industrial park just
south of the train tracks on Southwest Dr. We could
meet at 1:30 pm and drive as a group to her house about
2 pm. Weather permitting, please drive an old car.
On Oct. 5th, nine of our members and guest met at Little America and drove to Laramie and met three of their
members before driving to Woods Landing to view the
changing leaves and EAT. It was a very nice day and I
hope everyone had fun.
Our Nov. 5th meeting will be held at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, 1836 Hot Springs Ave., starting at 6 pm.
Avanties will cater our meal and the cost will be $16 per
person. If you signed up to attend and end up being a
“NO SHOW” and did not contact Carolynn Gavin, you
will need to pay for your meal anyway. Hope to see you
all there.
