Club News
  • Web site inactive from June 16 to July 20 2009 I apologize for the inconvenience, but the web site will be idle for the period shown above. Club members are asked to consult the latest newsletter for information on upcoming events.  If you need to contact the club, please contact one of the following board members:
    Rick Astley (President), Scott Turner (Vice President), Donna Finch (Treasurer) or Elvin Davis (Regalia).  Lise Brown (Newsletter editor/Webmaster) and Dale Brown (Secretary) are temporarily unavailable. Contact information for Rick, Scott, Donna and Elvin can be found on page 2 of the newsletter, in the club membership directory, or here 

     
  • EyesOn Design 2009 The prestigious Automotive Design Show will feature one of our member's cars.  Look for Max Kenney's 1953 MG-TD in the English Vehicle stand.  Congratulations Max!  EyesOn Design takes place Sunday June 21 at the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan.  For more information about the show click here.  To see a larger picture of Max's car go to the Gallery or click here.
     
  • WDMGC Facebook Group For those members who are familiar with the social network Facebook, the club has an established Facebook group that we urge you to join and participate in. Besides enabling communication with fellow members via the discussion boards and "wall" messages, we hope it will encourage more impromptu get-togethers amongst members. Just as the newsletter complemented word-of-mouth and the web site complemented the newsletter, the Facebook group complements our suite of communication and networking tools. If you're already registered with Facebook all you need to do is click here and sign in. If you're not a Facebook member yet, you will be prompted to sign up at the top of the page.
