Twin Bay British Car Club supports Food Rescue
The Twin Bay British Car Club has a history of giving. Over the years they had donated many thousands of dollars to local deserving charities. This month the club was proud to present a check for a thousand dollars to The Food Rescue of Northwestern Michigan. Receiving the gift were Bruce Byl from the Food Rescue and Northwestern Bank, along with Leah McCallum, Director of Fund Development for Goodwill Industries of Northern Michigan. Presenting the funds from the Club was Angie Ross, the 2009 British Car Club President (center of photo).
Bruce Byl explained to the group, "We rescue perishable and prepared foods from donors and deliver to organizations that serve the hungry in the area. It’s that simple! Through this effort the car club's donation will create as many as 5000 meals. Food Rescue of Northwest Michigan has collected and distributed over 280,000 pounds of food to date and are expanding on this success with the aid of donations from grocery stores, restaurants, caterers, bakeries, etc. as well as monetary gifts from individuals, businesses and groups like the Twin Bay British Car Club."
You can get involved with the food rescue with your simple phone call to 995-7723 or you can easily find them on the web. www.foodrescuenw.org/
In better weather you'll see the Twin Bay British Car Club having fun touring our area in their handsome little vintage sports cars. The group plans and facilitates wine tours, car shows, picnics, drive and dines, technical seminars, charity auctions, wild competitions and more fun than semi-responsible adults should have. Always looking for new members and ownership of a specifically "British" car is not required only a sincere appreciation for the quirky little rides.
