ince the last issue of the Falcon Times we have had Awards,

Suprises, and even some glory. To be more specific, we are looking

at the Northeast Chapter Regional Meet winners glory, the chapters

newsletter receiving an Old Cars Weekly Golden Quill Award, and the

surprise of the Northeast Chapter hosting the 2015 Falcon Club of America’s

National Convention in the state of Road Island.

For the first time in this newsletter we have pictures of all 1st place class

winners, most with the cars owners. We were able to do this do to the fact

that we gave out the awards in the afternoon. Look for coverage in Club

Buiseness and Feathered Friends. There is also more pictures on the chapter

web site www.northeastchapter.com. You will find more information on

the Golden Quill Award in Club Buiseness.

The surprise of hosting the FCA Nationals is quite a thrill. This will be the

second time the Northeast Chapter has hosted a FCA National and for

members who were not in the club for the Cromwell, CT Convention or if

you have never attended a FCA National you will find it to be something

special. We will be looking for members to volunteres for committies and

general help. Look for convention news through the newsletter, web site and

other communications to keep you posted.

On a personal note the 50th

birthday party for my Sprint, went well. besides

the Northeast Chapter members in attendance were members of the

Connecticut Street Rod Association, the Radical Valve Timers Hot Rod

Club, friend, family and a town concile member. I will have coverage in the

next issue and pictures on the web-site.

2015 FCA National Convention Committee Report

Report from October 12, 2013 meeting by the formation committee of the Northeast Chapter at the 50th Birthday party for Gary’s Falcon; Cris Bowes, Doreen Ward, Patti Lindberg, and I (Kathy Nenninger) met and talked about the upcoming 2015 National Convention to be held July 9-11, 2015 in Warwick, RI at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. The discussion involved the many things that will have to be done and by who. Patti Lindberg volunteered to chair the “Women’s Tea Party”. She is excited and really wants to do this. Kathy and Cris volunteered to do the Registration and other things. We will be looking for more member volunteers to chair and work on projects/events. A list of things that will need volunteers will be posted on the web site and in the newsletter. This will be the Northeast Chapters second time hosting a National Falcon Club of America Convention.

There were a number of first time entries at the show and they were excellent Falcon examples. A large group of previous Best of Show winners was on hand displaying their beauty and waiting to greet the two new members that were to join them by day’s end. This year was a

departure from the normal banquet on Saturday night instead we had an outdoor barbeque after the awards ceremony. With Bruce and Gail Ahlquist winning their 3rd Best of Show award in the past six years I think we should rename it the Ahlquist Award! Congratulations to the Ahlquist and to Ed and June Veader for their outstanding 63 Sprint.
