Jamie did a great job as MC and we had some great prizes. Thanks to Charleston Auto and Chris Reed for the very nice detail buckets. 2 from Griots and 2 from Armor All. Thanks also to the Charleston Convention and Visitors Bureau and Tim Brady for 4 Tickets to the Monster Truck event. Also the Hampton Inn at South Ridge and Mike Barnemo for one night of lodging. Thanks to Sonesta Suites and Greg Bolles for one night of lodging. Thanks to Four Points Sheradon and Dale Jordan for a $50 gift certificate to the Recovery Sports Bar.

Contractors Association
Car Show at
Berry Hills Country Club

This was a new show for us and it was very well done. To attend, an RSVP was requested and they had a unique way of voting for the car you liked, There was a QR code on the placard they gave us to put on our windshield. After scanning the code with your phone you were taken to a website and you just followed the directions to vote.

There was no entry and they had free food and drinks. This show is held every other year and hopefully we can attend the next one.

Larry Kopelman won best european with his white Mercedes 230SL.

Our club won Best-Repped Club.
