Car Show in Support of the Queen Alexandra Children's Foundation >> July 23rd

Here is a reminder of this great event which will raise much needed funds
for the children ... please let your members know of this event and we would
all appreciate any assistance you may provide in encouraging your members to
come out to this event as participants or as spectators.

We would greatly appreciate you letting your members know about this annual
European vehicle show.

This year, as in previous years, a very special collectible car will lead
the parade from Clover Point and will be on display on the Queen Alexandra
grounds.

Please let your members know that all European vehicles are welcome to be in
the parade and to be put on display.

Prizes will be awarded during the day.

This is a great opportunity to meet new motoring enthusiasts, see some
fabulous and unique vehicles and to contribute to our community and the
children who need help.

As an added benefit, La Collina has agreed to deliver lunches to those who
pre-order their choices. Appended below is the information on what will be
available and how you may place your order.

Here are the lunch options we've sourced out with La Collina. We hope to
have most of these lunches pre-ordered, but will have a small number of
extras (probably 20) on hand for those who didn't pre-order.

The lunches are $10 each and include the following: a sandwich (choices
listed below), Boylan natural soda, package of gourmet potato chips,
seasonal fruit, and La Collina cookie.

· Turkey on Baguette- sun dried tomato turkey, lettuce, Edam cheese, and
mayonnaise.

· Rosemary Ham on Polish Baguette-Shaved Rosemary Ham, house-smoked
mozzarella, Roma tomatoes, Cipolini onions, lettuce, and butter.

· Tuna Nisçoise- Flaked tuna mixed with grainy mustard and mayonnaise,
lettuce, sliced hard boiled eggs, red onions, Nisçoise olives, Edam cheese,
mayonnaise, and grain mustard on Ficelle.

· Free-Range Tarragon Chicken Salad-Roasted free-range chicken mixed with
mayonnaise, fresh tarragon, grain mustard, lettuce on Focaccia.

· Caramelized Onion and Roasted Garlic Turkey- Brie cheese, caramelized
onion, roasted garlic, sun dried tomato turkey and grain mustard on
Focaccia.

· Vegetarian on Paesano- Brie cheese, English cucumbers, sunflower sprouts,
red onions, sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese, lettuce, Edam, grain mustard
and olive Tapenade on whole wheat sunflower Paesano bread.

For those who would like to preorder lunches, please email
jane.bowers@queenalexandra.org by Thursday, July 20 at 4:00pm with the
number of lunches and what type of sandwich(es).

They can also leave a message for me at 721.6855. I will be out of the
office until Tuesday, July 18 but if they leave their order and a phone
number, I will do follow-up calls upon my return to confirm their order has
been received.

Payment will be due when they pick-up their lunch at the event.
Unfortunately, orders can not be cancelled after July 20 at 4:00pm.

Thank you on behalf of the Children,

This could be an opportunity for a club cruise at the same time!
