Wednesdsay June 16, 1999 Photos by Peter J. Thompson By S c o tt M a c A rth u r SPECIAL TO THE BEAVER Employees of the Ford Ontario Truck Plant are getting a special treat next Wednesday when a group of about 85 Americans tour the area with 40 Ford Model "A" cars, assembled between 1928 and 1931. The Penn-Ohio "A" Club will arrive in Oakville on June 20th, dri ving their Model "A's" the entire dis tance, a task that could come with some difficulty. "The cars, being the age that they are, could run into some difficulty dur ing the trip," said co-ordinator Don Moyer. "We're prepared for anything, I believe." Moyer said the drivers will be trav elling in groups of 10, and because all of thQ cars are exactly the same, if any parts create a problem for one car, there will be others around to replace B u tte r f ly P r o je c t The Bronte Butterfly Project is looking for volunteers to contribute to its organizing committees. To that end, a volunteer information session has been slated for this Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon at the Bronte Village BIA, located at 2368 Lakeshore Rd. West. The Bronte Butterfly Project is a non-profit organization seeking to build a butterfly garden and skate way in Bronte Heritage Waterfront Park at the foot of Bronte Road. The three main' committees are Fundraising, Promotions and Volunteers. it. "We'll communicate through radio so that if there's a problem with one of the cars, it can get fixed right away," said Moyer. "W6 can only travel in groups of 10 because it would be get ting too dangerous to have more." The Model A's will be on display in front of the home office at the Ford Plant on Wed., June 23rd in two groups, the first being at 9 a.m. and the next at 1 p.m. Other stops on the trip include the Campbell Soup factory along with various other points in the Greater Toronto Area. "I've been planning this trip for a year and a half because I've been to Toronto before," said Moyer. "I was extremely impressed with the city and what it had to offer, so I thought it would be a great idea to go up with the Model "A's" and visit the area." The group plans to head back to the United States on Frid.,June 25th. s e e k s v o lu n te e r s The Fundraising Committee is in charge of raising money for the project through individual and corporate dona tions.
