Ice Cream “Thursdae” – June 12
A cup, a cone or a banana split - everybody has a preference. We will be making tracks to the Crecent Ridge Dairy in Sharon on Thursday June 12th where you can indulge on your favorite ice cream treat. We plan to have an abbreviated agenda for our regular monthly meeting. So meet at 7:30 at the Endicott Estate with your antique vehicle and we will venture out from there after a brief meeting. With the summer solstice only a week away, there should be sufficient daylight to finish up before dark.

Codman House – July 20
On July 20th we are off to Lincoln and the Codman House Motoring Memories Antique Vehicle Meet.

The Estate, covers some 250 acres, has been farmed almost continuously since 1735. The original house was built by Chambers Russell I and was enlarged in the 1790s to its present three-story Federal style by John Codman, brother-in-law of Chambers Russell III. It is believed that Charles Bullfinch was involved in this renovation. |
