Fall 2008

Hurricane Hannah caused us to postpone our ice cream social for one week but it was worth the wait. What a great time our club had at our Annual Ice Cream Social on August 28!  35 members enjoyed homemade ice cream made with the help of a vintage ice cream maker.  We had our choice of  strawberry and/or vanilla with all the trimmings as well as other desserts.  Members Allie and Mary Moore hosted this year's social beside their beautiful 40 acre lake where a constant breeze made an otherwise steamy evening very comfortable.  Allie purchased the antique the ice cream maker that was powered by a hit 'n miss engine especially for the ice cream social. It was the talk of the evening.  In addition to cars, Allie is a collector of antique cannons.  During the evening, we were treated to several firings of his 19^th century Civil War brass naval cannons from across the lake. What a treat!


On Saturday, October 4 several of our members will travel to Jacksonville, NC for the New River Chapter Show.  Our chapter will also participate in Wilmington's Riverfest  displaying our autos on October 5 under the oaks at the foot of Market Street. We typically have a good turn out of cars and many visitors to come by to view them.
