Hail from the Chief
By Trish Bargman

a meeting and a drive on the 16th, and of course the
I know that I got the newest members birthdays at the Sweetheart Breakfast, but can’t find them. So if you could email or call me with the month and day then we can acknowledge them in the newsletter.
Wayne Campbell did a great job with the DARE “drive the kids to school” event. Great turnout from the club and even members that couldn’t make it made arrangements for their cars to be available.
Dale Larsen and Bruce Barton generously let other people take their cars, so special thanks to them. When you see the faces of the kids that earned the ride and all the cheering students when they arrive at school it really make it all worthwhile.
After that we delivered $3,000 to the Haven in
Of course that leads to this year’s Wild West Vette Fest. Be sure to make your hotel reservations and get your registrations in. Tim and Bill still need help so give them a call.

Did You Know
By Egon
Spring has sprung, the grass is riz, I wonder where the birdies is? The one dropping stuff on your car!
Now is the best time to get out and add some protection to the paint to protect it from the “bombers”.
I have talked to several body men about this. They seem to all agree that a silicone base treatment, while it looks the best, is a nightmare to get off in case bodywork is needed. I personally don’t use any product that contains it. The next best thing they agree on is to wash often and use good sense in washing so as to not scratch the surface. Using a liquid soap designed for car is the next best thing. Dishwashing detergent will remove all the “stuff” you applied to protect the paint.
Anything you apply to the dash will end up on the windshield -- a mess to remove.
Use a good product to protect the leather seats.
And last but not least, join other Vetters
this summer, and drive baby drive -- that’s why you have that car.
