SAN SECURES U.S.
SENATE RESOLUTION DESIGNATING JULY
10th
AS “COLLECTOR CAR APPRECIATION DAY”
Lawmakers
Acknowledge Importance of Collection and Restoration of
Collector Cars
The
U.S. Senate passed Senate Resolution 196 (S. Res. 196) at the
request of the SEMA
Action Network (SAN) designating July 10, 2015 as “Collector Car Appreciation Day
(CCAD).” S. Res. 196 was sponsored by Congressional
Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus Co-Chairs
Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) and Senator Jon Tester
(D-MT). The date marks the sixth commemoration in what
has become an annual event to celebrate and raise awareness of
the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in
American society.
A
growing list of scheduled events, like car shows, cruise-ins
and parades, will be held in support of this annual
celebration. The SAN is maintaining the event list to
commemorate the day at semaSAN.com/CCAD.
Individuals, car clubs and business owners interested in
publicizing events can submit the details using this
link. Companies should consider
hosting a “drive your collector car to work” day for staff
members. More event ideas are available at this
link. If
you are unable to celebrate on July 10th, the SAN encourages
events to be scheduled throughout the month of July to honor
the classics of the past and the future. Event
organizers will be sent a copy of the official Senate
Resolution for display at each
event.
States,
cities and Canadian provinces joined the U.S. Senate last year
by passing their own proclamations and resolutions. This
year, the state of Louisiana and provinces of British Columbia
and Nova Scotia have each made their own declarations in the
spirit of this celebration. Several other jurisdictions
are pursuing similar initiatives.
For
questions, contact SAN Director Colby Martin at 909/978-6721
or san@sema.org.
You may also download the official logo and flyer from the homepage and help promote this special
day. As always, the SAN welcomes any level of
participation and encourages everyone to spread the word about
our hobby’s “holiday.”
