Conclave is coming!
Our annual conclave with the Rough Riders will be held October 8-10 in Cambria. One of Sunday’s activities is a tour of Hearst Castle. Those planning to participate may book their tours starting on September 1st. Several tours are available so you can choose which one you would like to take. The conclave organizers suggest booking your tour at around 11AM so that all participants can start and finish at approximately the same time.
If you haven’t booked your room yet, please do so as soon as possible. A list of activities for the weekend plus other information can be found on the Calendar Page.
One of TCMG’s Earliest Members, Ron Simon, Has Passed
21 members were present at Ron’s service with three TCs, including the TC that Ron restored and drove for decades with Bobbie at his side. The cars were placed on display with Ron’s positioned prominently up front at the outdoor service, allowing him to pass by it one last time.
Come prepared for a Halloween Themed TCMG TRIVIA quiz. Study the website, especially newer members. This can be fun; it can be spooky; it can be weird. But mostly it will be FUN and you may learn some things about your club and club members. This meeting will also include nominations for 2023 TCMG Executive Council.
September recap: 32 members plus one guest attended our September meeting (26 in person and 6 via Zoom). Six TCs were present at the in-person meeting driven by S Simmons, M Simmons, Hunsberger, Sorensen, Zucca and Lemieux. Three additional TCs made a simulated drive of 10 miles or more, driven by Edgar, and Zoom attendees Prowell and Taylor. Thanks to Steve & Linda Simmons for hosting this meeting at their home, and Mike Simmons for his interesting talk on the history of TC 6110.

Monthly DIY Bonus Events
Our DIY Tour for the month is themed to match the month and season. You task is to drive your TC and find something to photograph it with that goes with either “Halloween” or “Autumn”. Find something spooky or scary for Halloween (you define what scary is) or anything that epitomizes the Fall season. Drive at least five miles during your search to earn a point toward the Sargent Award. Send your photos to Joyce Edgar by October 22nd to qualify for Sargent points, and to have your photos included in the October meeting’s slide show.
