Sunday is the traditional breakfast "Annual Meeting" of the 190SL Group.  The club continues to be financially very strong.  Joe Amaro was elected as Vice President of the club.  

Following breakfast, many members said farewell; others drove to Walt's "farm" for some repairs to Bill Lamb's car before the Back Roads Tour.  

Breakfast is served.
