The spring driving season is underway and so was our first event. The drive to
Fulchino vineyards was a great success with many members attending and
enjoying the fine wines from this unique New Hampshire establishment. We
also enjoyed the return of the annual EAS open house which was on a hiatus due
to Covid but brought back a lot of members with their cars in early May. Many
thanks to Ed Owen and his team at EAS for hosting us!
There is no shortage of upcoming events on our calendar and I urge you to
review them on our website here: https://minuteman.mbca.org/section-
upcoming-events and see the calendar in this issue of Tri-angles.
We are always open to suggestions for other types of events. I received a few by
email and please keep them coming. You can reach me here:

Inflation is hitting everyone this year. The price of gas alone is a major factor.
Have you seen the price of diesel lately? It cost me $85 just to put in a 1/2 tank!
We are working hard to make our events affordable to all so that we can enjoy
your company. In the past, the club has contributed toward each event. As you
saw from Ernie Fancy's letter last quarter, the national headquarters is no
longer providing a member rebate to the chapters. Hence we must do our own
fundraising from sponsorships. If you have a business that would like to
advertise with us, or sponsor an event, I'd love to talk to you about it.
I'm looking forward to connecting with you over the summer at some of our
great events. The Newport Car Museum event looks like very interesting and
I'm sure will be a blast!
