Show off your classic for Automotive Day

[Garibaldi]

Hi Everyone,

We received an email today from an automotive instructor at MATC. He is organizing an Automotive Career Day to highlight the work done in the auto industry and encourage interest in that field. Here’s the rest of his message:

My name is John Palacios, I am an automotive instructor at MATC and I am organizing an Automotive Career day for area High Schools. I was just curious if you or someone you know might be interested in showing a few classic autos? Last year we had a nice Chevelle, Camaro and GTO. We also get a couple of new cars from Dealers. We are trying to bolster interest in the automotive repair industry and showcase our program. With the aid of classic restored vehicles and show cars, we are able to have the “curb” appeal to draw youngsters into checking out what is available to them in their own backyard.

If anyone is interested or has questions for him, you can post them here or send me a PM. Thanks! icon_headbang.gif

Garibaldi,

As we get closer to this date, could you get info from John on where he would like to have our cars at, and what time he would like to have us arrive at MATC? I am pretty familiar with campus, but I am hoping that there will a place set aside for parking our cars and the other participants cars. The student parking areas are pretty congested most of the time.

Sure, here’s his response:

As far as time is concerned, I suppose that would really be up to how much time they could dedicate. We will be running the event from about 8:00 a.m. till 4:30 p.m. The main bulk of students I expect will be around lunch time. So any time within that time frame would be great! If they wish to arrive early, that would be fine too, I will begin setting up around 7:00 that day.

He also sent me a document with directions.
