2014 Dustoff Tour

     In spite of the "iffy" weather, the 2014 tour was a great success. Including members and guests, we had 41 attendees, and 13 Model A's. There were 6 other special interest cars as well. We started at the fire watch tower in N. Kingston, and wound our way through rural southern Rhode Island. We stopped at the light house at Point Judith, and passed under the Coast Guard towers in Narragansett. We ended the tour at the Mariner's Grille in Narragansett for lunch, our monthly meeting, and The Blessing of the Cars by Reverend Marilyn Ricci.
     The day was cold and raw, and ended with rain showers, but we all had a great time as usual. The food at the Mariner's Grill was phenomenal...a great way to end the day.

Karl Nagy

1934-2014

Karl was a long time member of Little Rhody,

and attended club events with his Model T,

often making our Model A's look bad.

Karl passed away while working on his T,

doing what he liked the most.

We will miss his presence at our events,

a piece of the hobby that is irreplaceable.

Pot Luck Supper, 2014

The Winter blahs are nearing an end for this year, so time for a parting shot in the form of a pot luck supper.
As at all Little Rhody food themed events, there were plenty of great choices for the betterment of our waistlines. We took a few pictures which are included for your enjoyment, we attempted to eat all the food and deserts, but not a chance. We had to settle on just having a fun evening with our fellow Model A enthusiasts.
Enjoy the pictures, and as always click on a photo to enlarge.

Christmas 2013

The Christmas party for this year was a great success, not only did we have a great meal as always, but we were also treated to a very different Santa Clause experience due to a "wardrobe malfunction"!
We had awarded the Carol Hathaway Burns trophy to Richard and Joan Mowry, and the Herb Allen award to Bob and Evy Osborne, and had given the Toys for Tots contributions to the Navy representative, (Richard Mowry), when Santa made his appearance...did he ever. Seems that his trousers were somehow loosened during the sleigh ride to Twin Oaks, and decided to drop to the floor while Santa was greeting attendees.
Oh well, the party was slowing down a little by then, but got interesting in a hurry.

Thanks for the success of the party to:

Paula Taylor for the centerpieces and favors,
Richard Mowry for his help with Toys fer Tots,
Pat Howard for organizing,
Dawn Mennucci for Speech and Awards,
Pat Beauchaine for the blessing,
John Mennucci for Christmas music and photos,
All the club members who supported the club with their attaendance,
And especially Santa, (Kenny McDevitt) for the underwear demonstration.

Enjoy the photos, and remember, click on a photo to enlarge.
