Sunshine, bar-b-que and classic cars - these made for a great day at Hagan Park in Rancho Cordova, California, site of the IAM's 9th Annual Sacramento Classic Auto Show. The show, which drew over 100 entries and several hundred car admirers, netted an estimated $16,000 for Guide Dogs of America.
The event was sponsored by Local Lodge 946's New Horizon Retiree Club, led by President Robert Gregory, and was staffed by volunteers including GLR Mike Wardle and Western Territory GVP Lee Pearson. Cars were judged in 16 separate categories, along with awards for People's Choice and Best of Show.
The cost to raise and train a guide dog is $40,000. The charity, which turns 60 this year, was founded by an IAM member and is funded entirely by charitable contributions. To learn more about this great organization and how you can help, visit www.guidedogsofamerica.org.
At right, GVP Lee Pearson and New Horizon President Robert Gregory "go to the dogs."
