December Holiday Party was a great success. As a result of Our recent Grand Prix Region Holiday Party Event was the Live and Silent Auctions there, as well as donations on all elegant and well attended, as well as successful in raising OK. The start of another year. Taking a look at our calen- of our Tours and other sources, this looks like it is the largest significant funds for our charity, Children’s Dental Clinic, of dar you can see that we're starting the year in high gear. No single fund raising GPX has ever done. Long Beach California. Thank you to all members that work shortage of events. Just looking at January is pretty impres- I can't tell you how much we admire the work that CDHC so hard in making this event successful. If you did not attend sive with our monthly breakfast and board meeting on the does primarily for the Long Beach area's underprivileged you missed a great party! I have recently attended a number of early morning 11th, the Zone 8 President's Meeting and Awards Banquet kids, but their outreach programs stretch far beyond Long Jeff Peck, who has been our region president for the last automobile enthusiast gatherings, the GPX region Breakfasts on the 18th, our Tour of the Pacific Coast on the 25th and, Beach.
