Event Leader - Walter Cramer
For those who were unable to Join Walter on the Saturday, May 1, Dieffenbach Potato Chip drive, you now have the opportunity to drive those same beloved Miata roads on Sunday, May 16th. Although the potato chip factory is not open on Sundays, the experience of those 100 plus miles of Miata roads and beautiful scenery is certainly “worth the price of admission”. Our first leg of travel is approximately two hours (Opting not to have that second cup of coffee may be a wise decision). Traveling back into Lehigh County on nice, curvy roads, lunch will be an option at Hops Fogelsville Hotel., which offers outdoor dining.
It you attended Walter’s previous drive and want to do it again, you are more than welcome to join in on the fun.
Be sure to let Walter know if you wish to go to the restaurant!

I want a Lou turn sticker!! How much are they?!
Unfortunately, Warren, these are no longer available.
Here's the history of the "Lou Turn" decals: They were sold by LVMOC to its members, for $5 each, to accumulate funds for a Club contribution to the American Heart Association, in memory of Louis DePaul, LVMOC President. Lou died due to a heart attack in September, 2015. He was noted for his numerous U-turns while leading Club drives, thus the term, “Lou Turn”, was coined. All the decals were sold.

Very nice explanation, David. So happy new members are able to read this bit of LVMOC history. I remember back in late 2015 Club members talking about a way we can offer a tribute to Lou. At the time two suggestions were offered, the "Lou Turn" decals and Ralph's "Lou Turn" buttons / pins honoring Lou. I find it enriching that five years later Lou's legacy continues to live on.

Very cool to hear this history of the club!! I thought it was a mistype for “u turn”!! It’s nice to learn inside knowledge of the club and become a part of it.
