We are looking for some new people to chair some activities.
After many years of chairing the 4th of July car show, Paulette would like to turn over the reigns. She is not going to dump this in anybody's lap, she just would like to get somebody ( or somebody's ) ready to take over in the near future. As she explained, " you never know when Dave will want to make his own fireworks and I want to make sure I'm there when that happens! "
GRACIOUS THANK YOU
A special " Thank You " goes out to club member and supporter
Glenn Miller for his generous donation to the club.

Please start collecting donations for the basket auction and door prizes for the 4th of July car show. It's really not that far away!
The cruise schedule is coming together for this year, It looks like another enjoyable summer full of activities. At the recent Men Who Cook Benefit, BASMA member Butch Rocco was one of the Chefs.
Come to the March meeting and maybe we will here all about it.

PREZ SAYS
We hope you all had a happy Easter season this year. Hopefully, that bunny guy treated you okay and you are not suffering a chocolate coma. With any luck, by the time you read this Spring will have sprung and the rain will have stopped. Check out the newsletter this month. You will find a copy of the 2018 cruise schedule as it stands right now. If there are any changes, we will let you know as they happen. We are going to be at Debbie Lee's the second and fourth Thursday of each month. The BASMA Debbie Lee cruise will be the 4th Thursday of each month from May until September. We will be at Family Tradition the third Wednesday of each month from May until September 19, and at that cruise we will draw the summer raffle winners. Fox’s Pizza will the second Friday of each month from June through October with the final cruise being our HalloBoo cruise. We will once again have our Memorial Cruise at Slippery Rock Giant Eagle in July. You will also note that Bill Errera’s charity cruises are also on the schedule. If any other member is hosting a charity cruise that they would like us to make note of, please contact Don Hayes. In addition, Dave Dillon is making arrangements for a Coffee "run" at Cummings and Scot Warburton is working on a poker run. Looks like we can keep busy this summer. A great big thank you goes out to Dewey Hughes. Dewey has agreed to take over the Summer Cruise Raffle this year. He is greatly appreciated. The license has been purchased and the tickets are going to print even as we speak. Also please make plans to stay after the May meeting as we will be addressing 4th of July car show flyers and getting them ready to be mailed out. Your help with this job every year makes it so much easier to get the word out to our “regulars” and give them a chance to preregister. And speaking of the 4th of July Car Show, we have been able to get Fairground Market to provide food for our event. They will be setting up in the same manner as they did for Mopars in the Park. Also, anyone interested in helping out Paulette and perhaps learning the ropes to take over for her (she is not doing it anymore folks, we need a replacement), please let Paulette or a BOD member know.
So have a great day and we will see you at the meeting.
T. Hayes, President
