Only three more weeks of summer remain by the time you get your newsletter.  What the heck happened to it, it is gone with the wind.  Upcoming events are the Reliability Run for Charity (Sept. 26-28), Fun on Wheels, Our General Meeting at the DH on the 10th and Battle of the Brits at Freedom Hill on the 14th of September.  They are again going to have the 2nd annual challenge so come out and vote for your favorite MG.  We will have 5 cars representing the MG Clubs and the DTSC will have Triumphs to represent their beloved Marque.  Who will take home the Canadian bacon?  Only if you are there on the 14th can you decide! 

This weekend the Dream Cruise has taken place and Rich Wagner has again presented his alternative Dream Cruise without traffic.  Also this month several cars went over to the UM Summer Picnic in Grand Rapids and from there also went to the Alden Car Show.  Everyone that went had a great time from what I hear and are planning on going back to Alden next year again.

August also saw the DTSC North American Triumph Challenge in Ypsi and about 200 Triumphs where there for the event.  I went over several days and of course we were vending the day of the show.  They had a “Friends of the Triumph Class” for members that did not own a Triumph so we were able to participate in the show and other events.  There were some really nice cars there too.  One of my favorites was a Triumph Mayflower Hot Rod (circa 1955). Very Interesting.

Start thinking too about the upcoming elections.  All offices are open as always and the offices of Pres and VP turn over since Cathy and I cannot run for the same offices again as we have done this for 3 years now.  Also we are still looking for editors for the newsletter, one of the biggest shoes to fill, but also the most important as the Can-Am Connection is our link to our members along with our website.  Please step up and volunteer your services.  Your Club Needs YOU!

See you at the meeting and enjoy the last month of great weather!
