and the Memphis Car Club September 24 for a picnic lunch at
Shiloh Park. The group also met at the McDaniel's for homemade
ice cream one Sunday afternoon.
A tour is planned to Natural Bridge, Waynesboro, Tennessee,
October 8. Assembly point is Court Square, Corinth, Sunday morning
at 8 A.M. Every one from other areas are invited to make the
tour that day. They will return during the afternoon and adjourn
at Corinth, Anyone desiring overnight accommodations should
contact Gerry Mc Daniel for motel reservations. The club has
already initiated plans for sponsoring a meet next spring in
conjunction with the citywide "Old Fashion Days" event.
Local Antique Car bugs have participated in this event the past
two years as individuals, we hope it will become an annual event
bringing in other clubs from the surrounding area. The club
will participate in the Armistice Day Parade Nov. 11 this year.
Everyone with a car is welcome to join up. This will be in Corinth.
The club meets in Corinth every 4th Tuesday night. All Antique
Car lovers are invited to stop in anytime.
Magnolia Antique Car Club is a group of car enthusiasts
who enjoy getting together to have fun and share ideas. Presently
the Club consists of approximately 33 members. The Club meets
every fourth Tuesday of each month at Martha's Menu in Historic
Downtown Corinth, beginning at 6:30 p.m. At the meetings we
discuss business as well as upcoming activities and events.
We support various local charities with proceeds from our cruise-ins
and other fund raising activities. This is a family oriented
club with emphasis on fun and fellowship. We invite you to join
us at our next Cruise-In or Car Show.
