4 From Lillian: Our deepest sympathy to Dee Dee Gassmann, her mom passed away Oct. 9. Also congratulations to Mike and Dee Dee, They have a new grandson born Oct. 11 and to Chris and Joan a graddaughter born Oct. 16. My thanks to all of Heart of Georgia Club members and everyone attending for another very successful and fun "Vairs at the Fair". Lillian From The White House Well I lived in a white house Chuck Smith President Our club has been very busy the last few weeks. " Vairs at the Fair " was a huge success; the weather was wonderful, although very hot, thank goodness the parade seemed to move along faster than usual. Everyone had a good time in the parade, there was much candy thrown, much to the delight of the parade onlookers, and all of the comments I heard about the fair were good. Here are some numbers from Vairs at the Fair: 53 at the hospitality party Friday night, 57 at the Saturday night dinner, 25 cars in the parade, and there were 15 first time attendees. And a sincere thank you goes out to Ben Gleaton & Company for the delicious meal that was prepared for the Saturday dinner! On Saturday, November 3rd, 10 Corvairs participated in the Hilton Head Island Concours d' Elegance & Motoring Festival.

There were three award winners from our group, Lillian Law, Billy Bruce, and Ronnie Jenkins. Well,that's about it for this issue. Keep in mind that our famous Christmas bash will be coming up soon, and I am STILL waiting to see articles from some of our other members. I know there are some writers among our group somewhere. Hope to see you at the November meeting! Keep them 'Vairs on the road, and do something nice for someone! Chuck PAGE 4
