As you can see above, last October the club met at Miceli's Restaurant on Matlacha for the first time. Everyone had a great time and really enjoyed the day; so much so that several folks have suggested we return to Miceli's.

It's going to make a lot of people happy to learn the club's next meet will be on Saturday, 18 April 2015 at 11:00am at Miceli's.

If you've never been to Miceli's, you're in for a real treat. It is one of the premier restaurants in our area and is owned by fellow Camaro enthusiast, Joe Miceli. Joe cares for the great people in the club and once again he's going to very generously provide a 25 percent discount to club members on the 18th. This is one meet you won't want to miss!

For those that'd like to Camarovan to the restaurant, please be at Cracker Barrel at I-75 and Palm Beach Blvd no later than 9:45am on the 18th. If you have FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radios, please bring them as they make for great communication between the cars!!! If you don't have the radios, please consider purchasing. Just think, when you're not using them for Camarovans, your kids or grandkids can have fun with them. As compared to the typical modifications we buy for our Camaros, these radios are dirt cheap and can be easily bought on line (a recommended set is the Midland-GXT100 at Amazon.com), but you can find that model and many others even cheaper at several stores including Bass Pro Shop, Walmart, RadioShack, BestBuy, etc
