6TH ANNUAL TONY SOUSA SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT
SEPTEMBER 11, 2010
Thanks to all who have registered. The show is now full. Parking passes will be mailed the week of August 30th. See you on the 11th!
We're returning again to the Santa Monica Pier for our annual car show. This will be our 6th annual car show in tribute to our friend, the late Tony Sousa. We've been in discussions with the folks who manage the pier for some additional space this year so we're hopeful we'll be able to expand the number of cars we can accommodate. This year's special guest will be former Shelby employee, Bernie Kretzschmar. Bernie was an employee during the Shelby heydays of 1965 to 1967.

HOLIDAY PARTY TOY DRIVE
Our annual holiday party, held Saturday, December 5th, was an unequivocal success. It was a packed house as usual in terms of people and cars. Most importantly, the toy drive aspect of our get together resulted in the Club collecting over 200 toys which were donated to the LAPD Pacific Division's annual holiday toy drive. In addition to the toys, we also donated $1,000 to the cause through a combination of donations from party attendees, silent auction proceeds and a contribution from the Club treasury. These funds were used by the Pacific Division folks to purchase even more toys for their toy drive.
The Pacific Division invited us to bring out our cars to their toy give-away on the 19th so about a dozen of us met up at Steve and Chris's shop and made the several-block drive over to Pacific Division headquarters. It was great to see first hand just how much the toys were appreciated by the kids. Each child got to go into the big tent full of toys (without adult supervision) and pick out a toy. From there, it was over to visit Santa to get any last minute wishes in. Afterward, there was plenty of food for all and a snow slide for the kids (and certain Club members who couldn't resist).
During the evening, the Los Angeles Ciy Councilman Bill Rosendahl presented the Club with a certificate of recognition for our part in helping make the evening a huge success. Please click here to view pictures of the party and the Pacific Division's toy give-away.
