President’s Message

Greetings! Hope your summer is filled with fun times and treasured memories. The 012 NIA Convention was a HUGE success, thank you to all our members who chipped in and supported it. It was humbling and pride inspiring to see our members so involved in support of our club and this event. Special thanks go out to the Convention Committee-Mike Berry, Dawn Dennery, Verne Frantz, and Maureen and Leigh Humphries. They worked diligently and many long hours to insure everything was planned and managed properly and that those in attendance enjoyed a top shelf convention. This event will be covered in a later newsletter issue.

One especially profound event at the NIA convention was the announcement that Mike Berry would now be the leader/owner of the National Impala Association. Please read more on this in the NIA “Snap Shot” sent with this newsletter. We wish Mike all the best regarding this new opportunity for him, I feel confident that he will exceed expectations and accomplish success. We celebrated our club’s 30 Anniversary at the convention; this gathering was lead by Vern Frantz who cited the clubs accomplishments and past history. Jan Lucas made a delicious cake which contributed to the festivities. It was interesting to see the enlarged copy of the first Newsletter posted on the wall which highlighted how far advanced we have become with the quality of that publication. Kudos to all our Newsletter Editors over the years-Job well done! There is no scheduled meeting for August, the next scheduled business meeting will be held at the Bordentown center on September 9th. However, we have two great events planned for this month. The Garvey Boats Races on August 5th and the annual, ever popular, Dennery Picnic on the 25th, located in Gloucester City, NJ. Please be certain to check out the details for these events elsewhere in this issue, and don’t forget to RSVP to Dawn and let her know that you will be attending! It’s an event that you won’t want to miss!

Some of our members will also be traveling on August 16th to Detroit for the famous Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise, returning home on Sunday August 19th. If you have any interest in joining this long haul cruise, please contact Jim Brussel for details. This is always a fun filled event, and you never know what kind of strange or collectible vehicle you will see riding the streets of the Motor City.

That’s all for now and as the songs says- See you in September.

Keep ‘em Rollin’
