Old Business

The old barracades that were made years ago and are no longer being used are going to be put on Kijiji.  Please let Angie know if you are interested in purchasing any of them.

The Knights of Columbus Breakfast & Car Show was well attended on May 25.  After breakfast and the show, a run was made to Port Elgin, with lunch in Aulac at the Big Stop and then home. 

Three cars (Roger Bourgeois, Don MacAulay, and Ed Slade) made the trip to Bar Harbor for the May 29-31 show.  The weather was good and they enjoyed the show.

Four cars from the Club attended the Petitcodiac Car Show on a sunny Saturday, May 30 where plaques and prizes were given out.

May 17 was rainy but a few cars took in the Baie Ste Anne Run and enjoyed the day visiting a few wharves, having lunch and a few even purchased lobster to bring home.

Angie entertained the Club on May 9 with a tour of several churches and cemeteries.  Thanks Angie for the interesting information.
