Meetings
2023
Our 2nd meeting of the year was a Breakfast Buffet at the Ramada Inn in Lewiston. The majority of our chapters vehicles seem to be vintage in the parking lot. This impressive fact isn't lost on most all the out of state members that attend any of our events!!
2022
Our 7th meeting of 22 was held at Mae's Cafe and Bakery and the 18 members who attended got to voice their ideas for "destinations" for 2023. The food at Mae's was delightful and the service great, as our waitress was a former Service Writer at a nearby Volvo dealership - everyone left "content and satiated".

Last Chapter Meeting of 2017
Saturday 12/9/17
Our last Chapter Meeting of 2017 was held at the Fairgrounds Cafe in Topsham. It was a very commendable turnout, considering Maine's first "plowable" snowstorm had ended only hours earlier. Twelve members enjoyed breakfast, thoughts on this years and the coming year events, ideas and suggestions were also discussed. (check our "current" events page). Our annual Maine Chapter GAS Award for 2017 was presented to Mike Mack for his always helpful attitude, and participation at all our events this year. I for one hope neither he (or his family), lose the interest and appreciation of this marque, that we all feel a passion for, as the Mack family is a great additions to our chapter!
