<strong>TCA</strong> Louisiana meet is<br />
almost here!<br />
Clay Fourrier and the Louisiana<br />
Chapter group have been very successful<br />
in the Chapter and <strong>Division</strong> meets/<br />
shows that they have been putting on.<br />
This is a combination of good venues<br />
at reasonable rates, good promotion and<br />
lots of plain hard work!<br />
This is a group of people that suffered<br />
great losses financially and emotionally<br />
due to the hurricanes of 2006.<br />
It is so good to have them doing so well<br />
for themselves. Please plan to attend this<br />
show if at all possible!<br />

Convention cars<br />
The <strong>TCA</strong> National 2012 Convention<br />
cars are now for sale in the<br />
September and November <strong>TCA</strong> HQ<br />
Newsletters. There are some good cars<br />
that you should consider buying. The<br />
Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream car of several<br />
years ago has remained very popular.<br />
I suspect the Chick-fil-A car will be as<br />
popular. The deadline is December 31,<br />
2012 to order these cars.<br />
ALL Mastercard and Visa credit<br />
cards are now accepted to buy these<br />
cars and also to pay yout national dues.<br />
