 !Salutations my fellow V8er’s !

As I always say, I hope you are well and are enjoying your summer. August has come and gone so fast this

year. Seems like we were just getting our Ford’s ready for the upcoming driving season. This year, if you've noticed,

has been a challenge for NORG with the work of Mother Nature. She seems determined to give our beloved

Fords a little bath every outing we plan.

Our NORG/Nifty Fifties breakfast was no exception, although the rain didn't come until we left for home. The breakfast was well

attended and members brought enough food for a small army. We met at a pavilion in Independence and everyone went to work.

Instantly all the tables were cleaned and set, ready to fill our appetites. A special thanks to the Lewicki’s, Bruce and Marie.

They brought everything under the blue glow of a Walmart sign. Two vehicles filled with anything and everything

to cook a breakfast fit for a king. Thank you Bruce and Marie.

After inducing myself into a food coma it was time for a short club meeting.

First up was an update on the upcoming car shows from Rick Jandrey, check this newsletter for dates. During the conversation it

was decided that we will not have a corn roast this year. In lieu of this, we agreed to meet for a picnic/lunch at The Winery at Wolf

Creek in Norton. The date for the lunch is Saturday, September 19th at 1 o’clock. The winery encourages patrons

to bring a picnic lunch to pair with their vast wine selections. Come and enjoy the scenic property overlooking the Barberton

Reservoir and the resident goats that live on the property. I hope to see you there.
