The St Augustine 2-Day Tour HAS BEEN CANCELED/ IT IS WITH GREAT REGRET THAT WE HAVE HAD TO POSTPONE OUR UPCOMING SPRING TOUR TO ST AUGUSTINE DUE TO WEATHER! WE HAVE CANCELED ALL HOTEL RESERVATIONS AT THE BEST WESTERN BAYFRONT FOR ALL IN OUR GROUP. If you have not been watching the weather, our trip for Wednesday and Thursday this week will provide us with horrible weather. The forecast is for soaking rain, northeast wind 20-30 mph and horrible Model A conditions for both days. Rain chances are presently 81% on Wednesday and 59% on Thursday. Not the kind of Spring Tour weather we wanted. We did not take this action lightly, but considered both the safety aspects as well as the “fun factor.” Driving up A1A in the driving rain with a 30 mph wind off the ocean does not make for a great day in the “A”. While weather does change, it seems that Monday-Thursday looks bad for most of Florida. We will still do this trip at some point at a time to be determined. Unfortunately we were up against a three-day cancelation policy for the hotel, and had to make a decision today in order to avoid any monetary penalties. Hotel cancelation was done through the hotel itself. Please contact one another to be sure everyone has the word. Some do not regularly check email, so it is vital that we ensure that everyone knows!
After our regular monthly meeting we will adjourn to a great lunch celebration at Herman's Garage to celebrate our 3rd Anniversary of our great building, shop and museum. Lunch will be catered with Barbecue from Emmys in Pierson at the low cost of $10 per person. See Bruce for signup and payment in advance.

A Christmas Story – The Musical! brings the beloved 1983 film to hilarious life on stage. Set in 1940s Indiana, young Ralphie Parker is determined to convince everyone that his dream gift—the official Red Ryder® Carbine-Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle—is exactly what he needs for Christmas. Along the way, he faces unforgettable obstacles, including an infamous glowing leg lamp, humiliating pink bunny pajamas, a maniacal department store Santa, and the ultimate triple-dog-dare. We will be reserving ONE balcony boxes for a total of 11 seats. This includes Choice of Red/White Wine, Cheese Platter, Chocolate Covered Strawberries and Cookies. Boxes are catered exclusively by Joe Hearn Events, The Elusive Grape, Pat & Toni’s Sweet Things, and 3 Smart Cookies. Tickets for the box are $50 per person. There will be sign-up and pre-payment required for this event. We will meet for dinner at a location to be announced, most probably at a downtown DeLand restaurant to be determined. Downtown DeLand will be decorated for the holidays, so you do not want to miss this one! If we have more than 11, seats outside the box are available at a lower ticket price.
Keep the date open for the 21st Annual Spring Frolic at the Barberville Pioneer Settlement. More information to follow.
