Legends 2018 Year in Review
The Legends Car Club had another successful year in 2018. The year started with a well attended garage tour. In May we had our annual Cancer run in support of the South Central Cancer Resource. This year, as in the past, we were joined by other clubs and individuals along the way as the tour took us east through Morris, Steinbach, Vita and back to Altona for a wind up BBQ at West Park Motors. We were able to raise $ 11,500 through this event. In July, we held our 40th Show in the Park at the Altona Sunflower Festival which drew 168 entries. The car show is always a highlight for the Sunday afternoon of the Festival.
August brought us to the 16th annual Legends Charity Airport Drags. We once again had a full slate of racers and generous sponsors. Due to this event we were able to donate $7000 to each of our selected charities, the charities being South Central Cancer Resource and Genesis House. Due to the success of the Drags, the following groups were also given a donation: the Altona & Rhineland Fire Dept, The Altona Elks Club, The Bunker (Winkler) and the Youth for Christ (Morris).
Since 2011, the Legends Car Club has donated over $112,000 to South Central Resource.
The last cruise event of the year for our club was the fall run which was held at the end of September where again we were joined by various individuals throughout Manitoba.
On November 17th, 2018 we held a year end banquet for our members and had 52 members attend. We invited board members from both South Central Cancer Resource and Genesis House to make our official presentation of the cheques.
