President’s State of the Region 2007:

Harvey J. Eger, President of the Western Pennsylvania Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America, noted that the Region is in far better shape than this time last year. The 2007 Board of Directors has guided us through the financial woes of 2006 and developed a budget that brought this Region back on its feet 2007 has ended with a substantial surplus, thus enabling the Board to under write many of our activities.  President Eger goes on to note that we have already purchased our 2008 Chance Car, and the 2008 budget looks to be both manageable and flexible   President Eger goes on to note that the bad news is that our members are getting older and we need some new blood to chair and participate in planning our activities. We see the same faces at the meetings and we need these members to speak to the other members to become more active and recruit some energetic new members. Along those lines, we welcomed several new members to the region this year, and the President hopes that this trend will continue.
