JULY

July 9 – Collector Car Appreciation Day – This is set nationally. If your group is planning something, SEMA would like to know: SEMA Action Network (SAM)

July 13-17, 2021 – National Cadillac/LaSalle Meet – Marriott Pyramid, Albuquerque – Andy Rogulich (505)459-6242 or andy@highfidelitymastering.com – I am the New Mexico Region Director of the international Cadillac and  LaSalle Club. I will be having the Grand National at the Marriott Pyramid Hotel from July 13-17, 2021. I am trying to reach out to others who would like to help us with the judging of the cars. We are estimating 100 Cadillacs will need judging, and unfortunately, our club does not have enough people that take on the volunteer task of judging. If I can get judges, or people that want to learn how to judge, interested in our event, I will have a guy come in that teaches how to judge, and this will be in April of 2021. I'd be happy to talk to you more about this; thank you for your help! Judging is made up of teams
with an expert in a particular decade of car heading up the teams. I need to contact our local clubs that do car judging in order to see if I can generate enough interest to get some guys interested in participating in our judging day which will be Saturday July17, 2021. This is for people interested in becoming a member of the Cadillac club and judging, as the judges are required to be Cadillac club members. They can contact me for more information. Andy Rogulich, (505)459-6242,  andy@highfidelitymastering.com
