PRESIDENTS LETTER FOR APRIL

I don’t know where to begin but hopefully I won’t put you to sleep and you can get some good info about our hobby through this blog.
First I want to thank all our members and friends who have come to our aid in helping fellow members through the horrible floods of March. We will have several fund raisers from now until Summer Smash to help our fellow members. I want to give a special thanks to Bruce Pascal for his generous red line donation to George D. Diecast space .com has also started a fund raiser on their site to help raise money, big thanks to CJ a true friend to the Rhode Island Hot Wheels Club. If anyone would like to donate please do so at the club table this Tuesday night. Give your support and be at the next meeting in these tuff times it is important to join together and help out the best we can. There will also be a 50/50 Raffle at the club to raise money; big prizes so don’t miss out.

Summer Smash is moving along on schedule there will be a mass mailing coming very soon. Plenty of new events and cars will be at the Smash so don’t miss out. The Smash has reached out all over the country as the number one east coast show. Tickets are selling well so don’t miss out, last year was a sell out and this year should be no different. Make sure you reserve your hotel rooms soon.

Plenty of new cars are out many of them will be on display at the next meeting. Along with many other cool hot wheel items. I would like to encourage others to bring displays in of your favorite cars, it is always cool to see what people collect.

This months feature race will be police cars any diecast company is fine but it has to be a police car no wanna be’s.

Last months meeting was great with plenty of activity but our special guest from “Children’s Wishes” gave us the blessing to send our 4 year old wish child to Disney. Nicholas is a great little boy who we will work very hard to raise the money to make his wish come true, please
be generous.

This Saturday is the Lincoln Johnny Lightning club and the Connecticut Valley meeting Please attend and support our other clubs. Sunday is the Southern New England Hot wheel Club and the third Sunday is the East Coast Real Rider Club Meeting. It is a lot of fun to go to our neighboring clubs it’s a real good time.

If you would like to send Dan an email in Afghanistan he would love to hear from you, send it to daniel.w.spaulding@afghan.swa.army.mil


Well that’s it for me, enjoy the great spring weather and happy hunting.

BIG THANKS TO BRUCE PASCAL

WHEN I ASKED PEOPLE TO HELP GEORGE D BRUCE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST ONES TO STEP UP. THIS WAS A VERY GENEROUS GIFT AND DONATION TO GIVE TO OUR FRIEND GEORGE.

APRIL RUMORS, YOU WONT BELEIVE IT

THIS IS ALWAYS FUN,
PLEASE SEND IN YOUR RUMORS WE’D LOVE TO HEAR THEM.

APRIL RUMORS...

Liberty Promotions will be building a Rhode Island club car for Mattel, It will be the first car in the mainline for 2011 and will also have a limited amount of rebel runs, the casting has not been announced.

Toys r us will be giving out open mystery cars in the Attleboro area on Mothers Day, the person who opened them will be charged on the same day for shoplifting.

It has been reported that Johnny Lightning will be using Hot Wheel chassis in there 2011 line to compete in the racing forum, This can’t be true.

Hot Wheels have been showing up in Afghanistan and from what I understand Danny has not been at his post for the last few mornings, is this possible.

The Hottest Casting since the Drag Bus is the custom Convoy, and Mattel has decided to stop making it.

Wal mart is promoting a Wal mart days, you will be able to buy one car every 5 minutes each store will have 200 cases the event will start at 7am on Friday and end at midnight . Treasure hunts will be one dollar and the mainline cars will be 2.00. This was reported on the internet I’m not kidding.

IF YOU HAVE HEARD ANY GOOD RUMORS PLEASE SEND THEM TO THIS NEWSLETTER.

PLEASE HELP OUT OUR FELLOW MEMBER

This is a letter that you hope in your life time you would never have to send. But after the recent floods of March a few members of the Rhode Island Hot Wheels Club have lost some of there most valuable collectibles. However our good friend George “D” Desomma, has lost not only some of his most valued toys but his business and his livelihood. Years of collecting and hard work washed away over a weeks time by mother nature. I am looking to help George and others with money and replacement of some of the better toys just to help cheer up a very sad and miserable situation. At the club we will set up a fund to help but any donations any of our members and friends would like to make would be very much appreciated. Every month we will have some kind of event to help this situation. This is a time to help a fellow collector and a very good friend. George has touched many of us with his great sense of humor and a big heart. He has never asked any of us for anything except friendship and I think it’s time to pay back. George is a proud man and I would appreciate if we keep this letter confidential until we present our generosity to him.

I am looking for any ideas to raise money at the club so please don’t hesitate to send your ideas. If you want to send money please send it in the form of a check made out to George D. Rhode Island Hot Wheels Club, P.O. Box 19167, Johnston, R.I. 02919

Sincerely,

Jim Lombari, President
