[Nobbc] [Fwd: Call for entries to the Marin Sonoma Concours d'Elegance May 17th 2009]

[Steve Plath]

Sarto,

I've been following this thread for the last couple of days and was thinking 
the same thing as you.  Fifty dollars is not much for a great day of cars, 
especially when you know the proceeds are going to a very deserving 
organization.  Thanks for reminding us.
