It's Grand National Time..... ALMOST!

[Jason Edge]

I sent this out via email last night and wanted to update our GN info here on the website with this info.

Hello All!  
With just a little over a week before the Boston Grand National, I wanted to send a reminder to those going to GN.   I will probably send one more final reminder next weekend.  
 
Chapter Members Attending:
We have a list at www.2013GN.6364cadillac.com. I have been gathering names, days, etc of those attending and adding to our growing list .  If you are going and your name is not on the list, or something needs to be added or corrected send me an email.

Not Attending this Year?
Plan to attend next year in Lake George, New York, July 8 – 12, 2014.   As a Cadillac enthusiast and Club Member, attending a Grand National is a very rewarding experience.  I am completely hooked and plan to attend as many as possible going forward!

Chapter Meeting at Grand National Saturday, Aug 3, 4pm to 5pm: 
We have a chapter meet-up at the Host Hotel after the car show and before the banquet.  This is a great time to meet your fellow chapter member, plus I plan to do a group picture for upcoming Newsletter. I look forward to our first formal chapter meet-up and hope this will be  recurring event at the Grand Nationals.  Make sure you let me know if you will be attending.

My Contact Info: 
Mine and my wife Cheryl's phone #'s were sent via email to CLC members last night. We have unlimited data and text so feel free to text.  I will also have the laptop with me and will be checking email on the iphone and laptop.  My email address is [e-mail].   I will post our room # once we check in so feel free to drop by and say hello. As noted in the list at bottom we will be at the host hotel from July 27 to Aug 5.   Keep in mind that I have not met many of you in person so be sure and introduce yourself and let me know you are a chapter member!

Reception and Banquet:
The Reception tends to be a “move around and mingle” affair, but the banquet is a seated event, and welcome all of our chapter members to join me and Cheryl at the banquet.  I know that many of you are also members of regions and may be joining your local region at the banquet and fully understand.

Newsletter and Upcoming Self Starter:
The next newsletter will probably be a July & August Newsletter with the spotlight on th Grand National. 

August Self Starter Spotlights the 1963 Cadillac:
Watch for the August Self Starter which will mark the 50th anniversary of the 1963 Cadillac, and will be the biggest Self Starter ever, most of which covers the 1963 Cadillac!   Many of our member cars will be featured.

Chapter Membership:
Our Chapter is free to all Cadillac LaSalle Members, and encourage all of our CLC members that have not joined, to send me a request with your name, CLC #, address and list of 1963 and 1964 Cadillacs so I can sign you up. It is a great time to be a part of our progressive, proactive, informative and fun chapter!
 
Chapter Shirts Available:
We have been out of the M, L and XL chapter shirts for a while but have just put in an order so I will have a good selection to take with us to the Grand National in Boston.  These are top quality "Gildan Ultra Cotton" pre shrunk shirts. The color is ash grey which will go great with just about anything color pants or jacket, especially a dark jacket or dark pants.
