A Picnic at the Museum 3/28/26,
Hosts: Rich Velardo & Nancy Esway
Other than the final street into the parking lot not having a street sign, this went off very well. We had 22 members attend and 2 Miatas. The weather was Miata weather & a couple of us took advantage of it. The picnic lunch was in a comfortable room by ourselves and a few of the club logo’d gift lunch bags from the Christmas party were in use. After a ride on the carousel we were off to explore the museums, a docent by the name of Bill was all to happy to guide us around. Bill is very knowledgeable but boy, can he talk. Bill took us into the side room that is not accessible to the public to see the first car in the Crawford collection. You’l see pictures in The Rearview Mirror”.
Thanks to all who attended, Rich & Nancy

Past Presidents Dinner 3/4/26
Host: Terry Walls
The Past Presidents Dinner was held on March 4th at Tinkers Creek Tavern in Walton Hills. We had a great turn out; there were a total of 28 people in attendance including past presidents and their significant other. We had a great dinner, and a good time was had by all. Each past president shared their experiences and challenges during their term as president and hopefully we were all able to impart some wisdom and encouragement to our current president Chuck Wolf and vice president Matt LoPiccolo. Good luck to Chuck and Matt in 2026.
Thanks again to everyone who attended,
Terry Walls

AWL Hartville Kitchen 3/14/26
Hosts: Mike & Lo Kerklo
On Saturday, March 14 th., Mike and I hosted an AWL at the Hartville Kitchen and Hartville Hardware complex. Everyone dutifully arrived on time and all 25 of us were escorted to our room for lunch. Our food and service was excellent and soon hot plates of roast beef and fried chicken arrived. Everyone seemed eager for conversation and just getting “out.” There was lots to see after lunch – gift shop, bakery and hardware store. It was the consensus of our group to make this AWL an annual event. Sounds good to us! See you all next year!
Thanks for joining us!
Mike & Lo

AWD Danny Boys 2/5/26
Hosts: Bill & Deb Heffern
We had 24 members come out in 11 degree weather on 2/5 to enjoy some Italian Food at Danny Boys, in Broadview Hts. The rib dinner was also a popular choice for many. I saw the meat just falling of the ribs!
The food must have been good, for as soon as they delivered it, the place got very quiet.
Thank you to all who braved the weather, to join us for a night of fellowship!
Bill & Deb Heffern
