Hi Diane !
I just had my AM Radio ( 1962 Thunderbird ) converted – not replaced – to play AM /FM and music from a computer stick .By looking at the radio, you cannot tell that anything has changed. I think quite a few of the Coasters might enjoy having that done to their radios . Normally I would bring this up at a meeting but seeing we’re not able to have meetings right now – do you think you could forward this to the membership ?
Thank you
Stay healthy
Rene

Update March 18, 2021
Hi just an update on what I have heard from the District of Sechelt. They are not issuing any “special event permits” yet due to Covid-19. Rules. We know things are loosening up but our hands are tied. We need at least 3 months to get everything organized to have a show. We can’t even have a meeting to get the ball rolling before that. We keep everybody informed as to what we are doing. Thanks. Ken.

A message from Ken Begg
To all members of the Coasters Car Club
Just a note to let you know what is or is not happening.
We have tried a couple of times now to have an Executive meeting but the Government and the Health officials have said only “Critical Services” can be held at this time. I have also been in contact with the District of Sechelt and their office is not issuing any Special Event Permits at this time. They too are waiting for restrictions to be lifted or eased from Victoria.
When the restrictions have been lifted we will have a meeting to see if we have enough time to put together a show in 2021 or not. If you have any questions or ideas on what you would like to see happen and offer your services to make them happen please e-mail Dianne Allen (Secretary and Activities Person)

In deepest Sympathy
It is with Our Deepest Sympathy we announce the passing of Darlene Vignal, wife of Louis Vignal of Sechelt. Louis and Darlene have been long standing members of the Coasters Car Club. As club members know, Louis was instrumental in creating Sleepy Hollow. Darlene battled hard with her illnesses and sadly she succumbed on March 1st, 2021. Darlene will be sadly missed by all who knew her. Our condolences to Louis, Louis Jr, Lisa and families.
