Well, here it is March and crusin’ season is just around the corner. How-

ever, car shows will begin next month with the Witt Spring Festival at

Witt Baptist Church on April 2nd. In May, we have the Skymart show

downtown and the following weekend is the FOP show, Cruising with

the Cops at Fred Miller Park. Hoping to get Junebug to these, it is such

great therapy driving her, and I am so proud to be doing so,. I have

heard so many times, how great it is to see her out!!

Don’t forget about our Victory Junction trip in April, we will be leaving

at 8am on April 26th, location to be determined. If you have the chance

to go, please do so, you will not be disappointed, this place is amazing!

Back to the curise ins, I will be getting a committee together to plan ac-

tivities to make our cruise ins more enjoyable, if you would like to par-

ticipate on this committee, just let me know. I have the volunteer calen-

dar ready and have had a great response, so let’s get the calendar filled

so we can concentrate on our activities. Remember the more you volun-

teer, the more chances to win the $350 gift card at the end of the year.

Let’s keep our members with health issues or may be dealing with the

death of a loved one, in our thoughts and prayers. WE have a great

HCCC family and I wouldn’t trade any of you.

Much love and happiness to all!!
