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". Please check our Home Page or Current Events  for our  this years happenings (which will be shifted to Past Events in Jan 2023)

including the Maine Chapter 2018 GAS Awards


The 1st Meeting of 2019 was a Tech Session held At Alan Auto Volvo Service 195 St. John St., Portland on 1/27/19

At Noontime or shortly thereafter a dozen or so Maine chapter folks appeared at the front door of 940 Congress St., which of course is the Pizza Villa. Very shortly thereafter we were all sitting down to enjoy their always great pizza and other tempting items. After an hour or so of interesting conversations good food and being somewhat forgetfull to leave.... other than the reminder from Alan that the Tech Session was at his shop......
​Our Tech Session, we were treated to quite a few interesting procedures including various types of metal polishing on a buffing machine, vehicle polishing on a 25+ year old 740 that it's previous owner had chosen employ a steel wool pad to remove pitch !! The session included a tour of his complete shop facility and the many Volvos in various states of restoration and the finer points there of... the time flew by and it was well past 4 when we all said our goodbyes and departed for our respective domicles. Many thanks to Alan Prosser as everyone learned a little or a lot , and we all certainly appreciated his time and efforts on Sunday.

                         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!
