Tows For Tots ParadeOn Sunday, November 8 , 15 of our members ventured out to the Tows For Tots Parade whichth

started at the Hollywood Casino in Joliet and finished their route at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, Il. This yearthere were about 250 Tow Trucks, filled with toys, that entered in this yearly event. The toys are thenpackaged into a huge truck, sorted and distributed to charity groups that help needy children have a MerrierChristmas. For the last 3 years the Lemont Classic Car Club has been one of those Charity groups that havebeen lucky enough to receive some of those toys collected for our “Little Cruisers” Christmas party. We are soThankful to these Tow Truck Companies for supplying these toys to us. This frees up some of our money sowe can give out the $25.00 Grocery Gift Certificates to our families, we can raffle off some Christmas trees tofamilies that don’t have a tree, and last year we were lucky enough to have a 32" color TV to raffle off to somelucky family. All these little extras make it a great day for these Children who can use a little help especially atthis time of year. No Child should be without a toy and a good meal at Christmas! That’s where the LemontClassic Car Club comes in. We help when we can. Thank you Tows For Tots for your help in providing uswith the toys for these children. We really appreciate you helping us with this event.

A Special Thank YouI personally want to say a special Thank You to Mr. John Katauskas for being the President of the

Lemont Classic Car Club for the last eight years. It has been a privilege to work with you and beside you. Youhave helped to make The Lemont Classic Car Club the great club it is today. You have spent many afternoonswith the seniors in retirement homes, drug the trailer everywhere, brought food to the animals at TLC Animal

Shelter (as well as you adopting a few) and all the preparations that go into the “Little Cruisers” Christmasparty which gets bigger every year. Thank You for all you do!!! We still expect to see you at all of ourevents even though you are not our president! By: Sharen Moscato Page 8
