It’s that time of year again to be THANKFUL……

Although this will be a somber and quiet Thanksgiving due to this God-awful COVID 19….we all should be so GRATEFUL and THANKFUL that are able to gather for our meetings via ZOOM, take rides in our cars when we can, see our friends and family when possible under these most uncertain times and most of all, be grateful for our health and well-being.

I regret to report that this year marks the FIRST year that the historical Drive to the Rock will not take place on Thanksgiving morning. It has been a very tough and disappointing driving season for all of us.
On a positive and happy note, we are all healthy and next season will be here in a blink of an eye!! GOD WILLING…we will all once again be on our tours and rallies with the sun on our face with the wind through our hair in our beautiful little MGs!!!!!!
