Our 51st Year

Aug 2020

51 yrs

Due to the

COVID-19

keeping us

all inside -

it seems

appropriate

that

“We All

feel like

Nut-Cases”

(this came

from

Queensland

Australia.

We’re still MISSING a giant section of our history - ALL the 1988 through 1995 issues of The Running Board. One of you must have them squirreled

away somewhere -

PLEASE check out your closet -

SOMEBODY has them! Click on http://earlyfordv8clubga.org/ MissingRunningboards.docx to see a list of what we are missing.

We Celebrate 51 Years as a Club

We now exchange Newsletters with several other V8 RGs & post their Newsletters on our website. We just got a July issue from Queensland, Australia & many more from all over the USA.

The coronavirus pandemic is an escalating and ever-changing issue. Most local car shows and events including the Club sponsored Easter Parade have already been canceled. As a result, the Georgia RG #24 Regional Group of the Early Ford V8 Club of America, with input from your Board of Directors, has suspended Club activities until further notice. Your Board will continue to watch the conditions, noting National Club and CDC guidelines, to determine when best to resume regular Club Meetings and Outings. Please focus on good health and praying for those who are affected.
