MARCH 12, 2023 MEETING

We had a good turnout at this meeting on a cloudy late winter day. At the general meeting business was taken care of as usual with the addition of the presentation of the new club roster. The new Roster was the work of John and Dawn Mennucci along with checking facts with the present data base through Evie Osborne and the Bowders. Members present were able to check the roster for errors prior to finalizing it for printing. The Dust Off Tour – hampered for the past three years by COVID ISSUES was set for April 29th by Vice President Bob Osborne. Refreshments were stellar, as usual provided by Sandy B. and Marguerite P. Ken Trudel announced that after three years of seeking a RI legislative change in the Department of Transportion/Department of Motor Vehicles management of Rhode Island’s management of Antique license plates, a bill was passed. He explained the process for getting to keep your old style plates on our cars. Dennis Allsop did a well received presentation of the “Cut Out” – a magnetically controlled switch that provides a path for current to flow from the generator to the battery. A very complete handout supplemented his talk. The complexities of this system and parts supply issues were a hot topic for discussion.

Meeting, Greeting, and getting refreshed!
