 If you took the first half of my run to Claysville and then transition ove=
r to Rick's run, it would be fairly easy to combine the two runs.=C2=A0 Pro=
bably need to transition to Ricks's run somewhere prior to WVA rt 88.=C2=A0=
 I can easily send the directions for the first half of my run to whomever =
and then work with them on the transition, if needed.
But you are correct, it would have to be put together quickly.=C2=A0 Oct 10=
th would probably be the best date if that is even doable.

Count me in for whatever we need to do to put on the event.

 =C2=A0

Hello everyone,

 =C2=A0

I hope you all are getting time to enjoy your British Cars and take in that=
 the leaves are just beginning to turn for Fall!=C2=A0

 =C2=A0

As The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix didn=E2=80=99t happen this year, their=
 committee is trying to find ways to continue to raise money for charitiy. =
Dan and Bob have been reaching out to all of the sub-committees to see if t=
here is something they can do, to which PVGP would support marketing awaren=
ess, if necessary.

 =C2=A0

Here is a web page they are maintaining to keep track of the car clubs=E2=
=80=99 donations this year:=C2=A0

https://www.pvgp.org/car-clubs-raising-funds-for-pvgp-charities/

 =C2=A0

In lieu of a meeting, I have a few options to get your feedback:

 =C2=A0

1. Donate nothing.

2. Depending on funds, make a small contribution directly from WPTA to PVGP=
. It could understandably be considerably smaller than years past.

3. Hold an event to generate donations.=C2=A0

 =C2=A0

1 and 2 are easiest/fastest.=C2=A0

3 holds some risks/challenges due to Pandemic/Social distancing restriction=
s, etc.=C2=A0

 =C2=A0

CALL TO ACTION: Please let me know your thoughts either by responding to th=
is e-mail or contact me directly.

 =C2=A0

Thanks,
