Winter has finally decided to release her grasp, so we can put away the snow shovels, get out the lawn mowers and best of all our cars! April had another great turnout for breakfast and the tour to Chico last weekend enjoyed a beautiful Saturday drive. As usual the accommodations and the company were top notch. For two couples it was their first “wine cellar” experience and hope to see them again next year. We are still working on details about other events this year and hope to get a final schedule together soon. Great ideas for day trips so far, but always looking for fresh ideas! Our next event is breakfast again, see you there!

Well everyone, it’s time to say goodbye to 2017 and look forward to a new year.

I hope somehow our club left some good memories for all; the great get together at the Krueger’s and Hasbrouck’s, the road trips, and maybe the All Euro Car Show.

For 2018 we will be planning our 40^th   Anniversary event, we are considering a commemorative mug or glass, and maybe a German car show at Oktoberfest, a local German restaurant.  Ideas for this, or any other event are greatly appreciated.

Lastly, while this is a time for family and friends, I would be remiss if I didn’t remind you to think about your car.  I’m sure most of them are tucked away snugly for the winter, but now is the perfect time to order that “one little part” or to consider what maintenance needs to be scheduled before the driving season.  If the weather allows it wouldn’t hurt to start them up and get those fluids moving. And don’t forget about breakfast at Grains of Montana the second Saturday of January, hope to see you there!
