Letters to the editor - Cruisin’ Classics are community minded

To the Editor,

On Aug. 26, the Cruisin’ Classics Car Club hosted our 2014 Appreciation Cruise-In at Emmanuel Community Church. With weel over one hundred luck-of-the-draw prizes, 10 special prizes and 229 classic vehicles, the event was a great success.

Participants and visitors alike were encouraged to contribute non-perishable food, paper products and/or cash to Operation Scugog. As a result of everyone’s generosity, we filled two trucks and donations totaled $804! This is in addition to the $145 and another truckload of paper products collected by the club in the spring.

We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the church, the 16 themed sponsors, our weekly and corporate sponsors and all participants. Without your support we could not have had such a prosperous cruise-in season. Mother Nature, however, could have been a bit more cooperative.

As we celebrate our 25th anniversary in 2015, we would like to extend an open invitation to you and everyone in the community with an interest in 1989-and-older classic vehicles to join us on Tuesday evenings from May to August. Over the winter, visit our web site at cruisinclassics.blogspot.ca.
