JULY 2015 A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR It’s Flag Time, July 4th, 2015 Hello all you Studebaker lovers, it is time to be patriots, and be proud that we are a free country, with a Declaration of Independence, and a Constitution that our forefathers fought so hard for. I know, it is unusually hot out there, and will probably be just as hot on the 4th, but it is a time when we should have an American flag displayed somewhere on our property. There will be celebrations all around the region. What’s Fourth of July without good food, live music and fireworks? Get out there with your Studebaker and find one of the many things to do, or just stay at home with family, friends and neighbors and have a cook-out. If you want to get out and try something different on the 3rd or the 4th, consider the Florida Aquarium in Tampa. They have a red, white and blue weekend planned with dazzling fireworks displays, family-friendly entertain- ment and an all-American themed dinner menu! Fireworks will take place at 9:15pm. The Aquarium will close at the conclusion of the fireworks show. That is just one of the many things going on during the 3rd and 4th. If you are a runner, take advantage of the 5-K or the 10-K Mid-Night runs which start and finish at Causeway Plaza in Dunedin. Don’t forget the chapter’s July meeting, I hope to see you there.
