CSRA A GROUP DEDICATED TO THE EDUCATION AND PRESERVATION OF OUR AUTOMOTIVE HERITAGE

PREZ SEZ

Ronnie Roadster The March club meeting was a busy one. The annual budget is now set, and the bylaws proposals should be arriving in your mailbox for your vote.

The meeting room wall painting project and other improvements along with a discussion on the photo collages was a lively one. With the decisions made by the majority in attendance to work on these improvements, the goal being completing by the Dust-Off event.

Also, details were discussed and passed regarding the annual Awards Banquet which will now take place during the actual year. The date will be November 7th.

As I write this, we are all undergoing a huge change in our lifestyles due to the virus situation. Our future events will be affected greatly. First the April events we had planned must be cancelled this includes the monthly club meeting, the Dust Off, Cars & Coffee as well as bingo on Fridays. The board of directors held a meeting to discuss May’s events sadly it’s become obvious our 51st Swap meet must also be cancelled.

On a brighter note we locked in our new date for the 51st annual swap meet, the first weekend of May 2021

Now that the weather is getting better and spring has now arrived at least we can get our cars back out after their winter hibernation.

Stay Safe, Ronnie Roadster

DEADLINE FOR NEWSLETTER APRIL 24th DATE TIME EVENT PLACE

All May events and club meetings are canceled

OUR CONDOLENCES

Bobby Celone a former CSRA member, has died.

Don Gallant our oldest member has died. To John Sabatucci whose father died. Our prayers and condolence goes out to their family and friends. WE HEAR We Hear Hi Everyone, here is a few pictures of the meeting room improvements. Tom Lambert, Dave Miller, and Armand Couture have been busy - when it can be safely accomplished - getting our meeting room ready

for paint. The display cabinet located below the original club banner and the cabinet to hold all the sound and video equipment can be seen in the pictures attached. There is more work to do when the time comes to finish it. I can report firsthand that the work done so far has been of

a very high quality. To the members who contacted Tom asking if he needed help, Tom would like to say, "Thanks!" Ron San Giovanni



Jerry Veronesi says, “Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason!”

Bobby Celone was a former member of CSRA and a past member who will be missed. RIP!!!

THANK YOU NOTES

Dear CSRA Family,

Thank you for the beautiful basket full of goodies. And, thank you so much for all the prayers, cards, and consoling words.

Also, that "Memorial Ride" was awesome! I am sure Don was there with us in spirit and especially enjoyed the burn outs.

To quote what Don said to me "Our car club is a special group. I love them all".

Thank you for being part of Don's life. A life well lived.

Sincerely, Claire & Family For those who worked with me when we first started the Kid Games in Vermont. Do you remember Josh Sickles that all the wives look forward to seeing every year?

Josh was very good at winning our different games. His mother Christine told us he had covered his bedroom wall with all his awards he won in the kid games he played.

Now grown up he moved on and graduated from Castleton University with a degree in Criminal Justice, Cum laude and his commission in the United States Army as a Second Lieutenant, Quartermaster Corp.

Just last year when we were in Louisville KY I received a text from his mother asking if we were at the Nationals. She told me they were picking up Josh at the airport near us and wished they could come and see us but didn’t have the time.

CONNECTICUT STREET ROD wishes Josh and his family all the best!!!



CSRA MEMBERS Here’s how some CSRA Members doing things during our quarantine at home.

A propeller was made, a garage was worked on and a

trailer got some artwork!



THE NEW LOOK

Wipe the competition out with

TOILET PAPER TIRES

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE... ALL MEN NEED TO REMEMBER THEM (1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an

argument when they are right, and you need to shut up. (2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house. (3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine. (4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It! (5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.) (6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake. (7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome'.. That will bring on a 'whatever'). (8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying...Go to Hell... (9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.
