May 27th wasn't the nicest day, weatherwise, but at least it didn't rain on the nearly 100 vehicles that came out to support the Maple Ridge Secondary School Graduating Class in their fund raising efforts.

Joe & Neva did a fantastic job of organizing the cars as a steady stream came through the gates between 9 and 10 am.  See pictures in the Photo Gallery.  Most of the Golden Ears Chapter cars were parked in the same area so it gave us a chance to socialize and keep Sharon company during the day.  Jim Carpenter took his load of tires home to the Interior on Saturday night after a successful Coastal Swap Meet, and turned around on Sunday morning to drive back to with his 54 Dodge.  He really wanted to participate because he rebuilt this car in the shop at MRSS when he was a student.

It was also nice to catch up with previous members, Dick & Dianne S. and Don M. with their vehicles.   Pete was out with his 23 T and we are glad to see that he looked really well and rested after his recent surgery.   Alex M. also showed up to visit with friends and talk about their cars.  They call them Show & Shines, but its the visiting and comaraderie that keeps us attending!
