THE OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER OF THE GATEWAY CAMARO CLUB
From The President
Club Members,
Spring is finally here and I know we are all looking forward to the start of the car show
season. It's finally time to shine up the cars and dust off the lawn chairs! The club
kicked off the 2017 season in fine style with the "Camaro 50th Anniversary" display at
the Concours d'Elegance Car Show in Forest Park on Easter Sunday. We had a great
Spring Cruise to Fort Knox in Pilot Knob, Missouri, and, of course, Sizzler’s 4 th
Birthday CARty at Gina and Greg Wilkerson’s home which is always an enjoyable
event.
I would like to welcome Marty Troutt as the club's new Vice President. I appreciate
him accepting the position and I know he will do a great job for the club this year.
I want to remind everyone that Jim Butler Chevrolet renewed their sponsorship for
2017. Mike Marshall is still our exclusive sales contact. Mike is located at 759
Gravois Bluffs Road, Fenton, Missouri. Jim Butler is offering 15% discount for parts
and 10% discount for service to all club members on any of their vehicles. Mike’s cell
number is 314-799-6942 or email him at [email protected].
I hope everyone had a Happy Easter and look forward to spending time with the club
and our Camaros this summer!
