Thoughts & Prayers Needed!

Two of our most long and loyal former board members are in need of our thoughts & prayers at this time. Bill Palmer has been under the weather for some time now and had taken a fall a little while back and could use some cheering up. I think a few cards would do the trick to bring his spirits back.  Also, we have just learned the Arlene Stone wife of past President Bill Stone has had a stroke a few months back and is not able to be at home with Bill who has been home bond with a long term illness himself. Please keep all these folks in your prayers as they have a long road ahead of them. Cards can be sent to: Bill Palmer and Bill & Arlene Stone in care of MARFC P.O. Box 66436, Roseville, MI 48066 and will see they receive them ASAP.

The MARFC Helmet Bag was awarded to driver Vytas Svedas from Dundas, Ontario, Canada who races a 1966 Alfa Romeo Guilia.  Thanks to Joel Hershoren, Kathy Arnold, and the rest of the Waterford Hills staff for welcoming MARFC to this beautiful facility for a fun afternoon of racing.Pictured is with Rand Thompson, Vytas, and Sue Ginter and also a picture of his cool red No. 23 Alfa.Waterfordweb2
