PAST EVENTS

      Nov 23, MGB Door Swap was hosted by Dave Bralich. We also want to thank Dave for the donation of one of the doors for an actual “door prize” at our Christmas Party. The other door will be used by Jim Evans on a technical session, date to be determined, on how to reskin a door.
      Nov 27 was our annual “Cruise to the Rock” in honor of the first automobile race in the US. For the first time since we started celebrating the event we were asked to move our cars off the grass. Our thanks to Ann Snyder for follow up to the Mayor’s Office of Special Events to prevent this problem from recurring next year.
