Re: Travel Tool Kit

Brian:

There's an ad in the Alfa Owner, you can order the new one and I think you can do
it from the club web site (or as many copies as you like/need a benefit to the
policy change) We will be putting one in each of our daily drivers (see below)
(never can find it when I need it) & one in the house.

Board of Directors decided to save money on the Owner and only print needed copies
for those who request them. Maybe we couldn't afford the dues increase if they did?
I don't know. It is not as good as getting one in the mail automatically; they've
been available for a couple of months now; but I haven't taken the time to make the
request yet.

Best Wishes,
Bernie Bennett
