As many of you know, the pandemic is still affecting many activities in the DMV (DC and MD/VA suburbs). With that being said, along with concerns by some members resulting in less than minimum attendance, it has been decided to CANCEL the 2020 Annual Potomac Region Picnic. Now, we will continue to focus on planning our Car Show and Automobilia Auction at Capitol Cadillac on Sunday, September 20. Dedicated volunteers will be needed for the show.  If interested and available, please contact Lynn Gardner to sign up for a spot. Also if you plan on attending, please consider bringing a donation for our auction to the show. Proceeds help support our Region events.

Our June meeting took place virtually on Zoom with a nice turnout, thank you to Sandy Kemper for arraigning the meeting.  The July meeting is scheduled for the Silver Diner in Merrifield, VA, but depending how things are going it may be moved to an outdoor location or held via Zoom again.  If you have a venue suggestion, please contact Sandy or me.

Congratulations to Richard Sills and Vince Taliano for being selected as co-winners of “The Self-Starter V-12 Award” for their excellent story on Capitol Cadillac’s 85th anniversary which ran in the October 2019 issue.  Also, the Potomac Region’s website won the Website of Merit Award.  The awards were announced during the CLC’s “virtual” Summer Board Meeting via Zoom that I attended.  The awards will be presented at the 2021 Grand National in Albuquerque, NM.

If you are thinking of selling your classic Cadillac and want worldwide recognition with great success, please contact Vince about placing an ad.

On a personal note, I’m making good progress with my recovery and I am back on track with PT.  Hoping to be up and walking sooner than projected. Thanks again for all the prayers and thoughts.

Have a Happy & Safe 4th of July!
