Village Rotary welcomes car club to speak

FALLBROOK – On May 5, Fallbrook Village Rotary welcomed guest speakers from the Fallbrook Vintage Car Club (FVCC). Mike Johnson, a member of FVCC, was instrumental in arranging for Roy Moosa and Chuck Tillotson to speak to the Rotarians about the history and charter of the Fallbrook Vintage Car Club.

Tillotson told the Rotarians that the purpose and mandate of the car club is to 'give back' to the local Fallbrook community – using all net proceeds raised from their fundraising events. He also emphasized that the club is a social club, with both men and women members, that make it a point to have fun throughout the year by staging barbecues, picnics, a Christmas party, and other social events.

Roy Moosa then presented a slideshow that covered the history of the car club, from the early days of starting out as a Model A club on up through the years of formation and growth of the Vintage Car Club as it is today. Moosa showed images of the founder, Paul Stiles, and his wife Kathleen and noted that Kathleen is still alive at the age of 96.

Moosa's slides also depicted many of the parades and activities that the car club has participated in, including the annual Veteran’s Day and Christmas parades, the Avocado Festival and other car shows for the benefit of local charitable institutions.
