A sure sign of Spring is the Naperville and Lisle Townships TRIAD Free Car Clinic for Seniors, Saturday May 13, 2016 from 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 noon at the Village of Lisle Public Works Facility, 4905 Yackley Ave., Lisle, IL 60532.

The safety clinic which provides a free 40-point safety inspection of vehicles driven by senior citizens (ages 50 and older). The event grows each year as the Triad organization’s outreach to seniors continues to expand.

Vintage and antique cars will again be on display; most are vehicles owned by our volunteer “car guys” who help perform the inspections. Chicagoland MG Club (CMGC) member Jim Vondran coordinates the Triad car safety clinics and really appreciates the enthusiastic participation of volunteers from the CMGC, the Chicago area Model T Club, and the Chicagoland Miata Club each year.

Please contact Jim directly at (630) 234-7102 to affirm your participation, either as an inspection team crew-member and/or displaying your vintage car, or just stopping by for a portion of the time so that our seniors can see your car while thei r vehicles are being inspected.

We will be visiting Woodstock, IL. Since the VMGCC is hosting the GoF this summer, there will be an abbreviated Spring Tour—a one day tour with an optional overnighter.

The plan is to rendezvous for breakfast and then caravan to Woodstock. There we will be treated to a tour of Vintage Sports Car, a noted restoration and repair facility. Then a guided walking tour of the locations from the movieGroundhog Day. Lunch and/or dinner plans are still in the works.

The optional overnighter will be a short, scenic drive to the Hampton Inn in McHenry. Saturday morning it’s back to Woodstock for their Farmers Market held on the Square. To top off the festivities there will be a walk trhough the famous Village Square and a behind-the-scenes tour of the historic Opera House.

More details to follow as we get closer to the big event. Questions, comments, suggestions are welcome.
