PRESIDENT'S WORD
April 2010

by Germain Cornet

Congratulations to our members, nearly all the registrations to the club were paid by January sending our beloved treasurer straight to financial heaven!
Our club is doing very well; activities compete on the 2010 calendar meanwhile our monthly dinner at the Ambroisie draws more and more people together every first Wednesday of the month.
Despite the negative media attention given to the world of automobiles, we continue to stand by our passion and persist on sharing it with others.
In the case of the VEA we could not go on without the dedication and enthusiasm or our leading team, Alois Fürer who stuffs us with nice cakes, Bernard Bellavance our unique orator, Bernardo Pisarzewski who supervises the president's expenses as well as the others always willing to give a hand and debate ideas.
In February we launched our first ever 'Ladies night' organized in our friend David Sepulchre's private lounge where Danielle Robichaud and Bernard Bellavance had put together an unforgettable evening. Look for Paul Tronc retelling of the evening in the following pages…it is definitely a must have on our future calendars to warm up our winter months.
Beyond pleasant activities and dinners, we are also dealing with serious issues pertaining to new laws and regulations issued by the government, such as the anti pollution controls or the prohibition of the right hand drive cars on the Quebec's roads.
Meanwhile, we are also continuing participating in and pushing for the Automobile Museum project (La Cité de l'Automobile). Last but not least, we have recently joined the forces of the 'Concours d'Élégance Le Mirage' with the 'Championnat international de Blainville' to set up a even more glamorous event casting horses and automobiles.
As winter fades away, get your classics ready for the summer, look for our multiple activities in the web pages of the club. and let me assure you that 2010 will not be boring!!
