Rotunda Times is available. You'll want to read about Mike
Riemenschneider's 1968 Shelby GT500KR convertible, the June garage
crawl, Art Cairo joining the FMRCOA Board, Phil Lyon winning

Troy Garage Crawl Photos
On June 13 over 60 FMRCOA members were treated to
an outstanding garage crawl organized by Brian Saylor
in the Troy, Michigan area. Our first stop was at Classic & Exotic
Service, then Brothers Custom, next was Masterworks Automotive
Services, and finally club member Jerry Mattson's garage. Find
out more about the garage crawl in the June
Rotunda Times. Brian took some great photos at the
various locations. Check them out in the
Event Photos section.
New Location for Monthly Club Meetings
Our monthly club meetings will now be at St.
Mary’s Cultural Center at 18100 Merriman Rd in Livonia
between 6 and 7 Mile Roads. This is the beautiful facility where
we have held the last several dinner dances. Moreover, it has
a extremely large parking lot enabling club cars to be easily
parked together (and the food is good!). Meetings will continue
to be on the first Wednesday of each month and will begin at
7:30 PM. At the June meeting, however, we will hold our annual
mini swap meet so please plan to come early to buy/sell stuff!
And do bring a friend!
The Rotunda Times Wins the Golden Quill Award!
For the second year in a row, FMRCOA's monthly newsletter, The
Rotunda Times, has been named a winner of the 2008 Old
Cars Weekly Golden Quill Award in the National division.
Take a moment and read
the Golden Quill article at Old Cars Weekly. I think
you'll agree, The Rotunda Times is one of the best
newsletters around! Congratulations to the entire FMRCOA club,
editor Steve Rohde, and all the authors that contribute articles
each month...way to go!!

Informal Breakfast for FMRCOA Club members
Some of our members go to breakfast every Saturday morning at
the Ram's Horn located at the NW corner of Rochester Road and Hamlin
Road across from Bordine's Nursery. This is north and east of Auburn
Road. If the weather is nice we usually have quite a few antiques
and hot rods. Members usually show up from 6am until 9am.
