Project Update from Lucas and Beyond!
Important Annual Planning Meeting, February 15 -- Don't Miss It!
Our meetings are a great opportunity to socialize with fellow WBA members and to talk shop on questions on everything from paint and varnish to carburetor kits. As always, we'll have generous helpings of fellowship and Italian food. Join us for a light meal and moderate libation at 5:30 p.m. at Two Guys from Italy prior to the meeting. We encourage you to join us for dinner, so we'll always have the required minimum number of diners to avoid a room charge. Shop Talk and Musings: Two Clubs Meet on Stober Mountain!
The EMCBC hosts the Wood, Waves and Wheels show each May at the Fort Worth Boat Club on Eagle Mountain Lake. The WBA is usually well represented there! Thanks, Dan and daughter Melissa, for a fine event. (Melissa Stober photo). And finally, please take a look in the shed or garage for leftover parts or other salable items you can donate to the Club. Bring them to any WBA meeting, or contact David Kanally at david@historywithheart.com for pickup. |
