The Annual Ice Cream Social was started by our own Robb Handshuh as an excuse to get our Healeys out and let the public see them…and have some ice cream too. This Public Awareness event has a national scope and each club has members going out and then submitting pictures back in for tallying. Imagine how many people see you and your car on the way to an ice cream shop or predetermined location … hundreds …multiplied by the number of cars participation. The numbers are staggering!
This year it is hosting by John and Linda Miner.
This month, our meeting will be pushed out one week to conincide with the Norcross British Car Fayre. The Norcross Show brings out 150 to 200 British cars of all types each year, populating the downtown streets all morning to about mid afternoon.
