December has arrived, and with it the first snowfall for many of us.
Salt trucks were out in force on 12/5/2009. The December meeting will be 12/13/2009 at the clubhouse, and it is an important
meeting. Discussion on the events for 2010, the get together party and nominations for club officers will be covered.
Everyone is busy this time of year, but if you can attend, please bring your ideas and enthusiasm with you. The club
is what we make of it. The club had a great time at Vargo in November, and we look forward to a series of great events next
year as well. Happy Birthday to Larry! Bob has some new items and has Brad Penn Oil back in stock, Kerwin has
some items as well so be sure to check out the Trading Post page for more information. We would like to wish a Happy, Healthy & Safe Holiday Season to all!

Well, the 50th Anniversary of the introduction of the Corvair has now passed.
I hope everyone got to mark the occasion at one of the many 50th Anniversary events. We had a good turnout at the
Hatfield show and there were over 37 Corvairs in Cape May for the celebration there.
