Hello JW:
Thanks for your kind words and your continued financial support - it keeps our volunteers motivated.
Last Sunday we had 32 volunteers working to make the event a success. I don't know what I would do without them. During our 26 week summer season we hosted 81 events this year. This means I have folks working nearly round the clock at the PPG.
For example; last week we had weddings both Friday and Saturday night. They wind up at midnight and then it takes until 1:00AM to 1:30AM to clean up the place and get ready for the next day. On Sunday (Open House) we had folks back on site at 8:00 AM for set-up duty and we closed down at 5:00 PM, then we cleaned up the site and re-locked the gates at 6:00 PM. It makes for a FULL day.
Tom and his wife Kathy were in charge of the Open House - just as they have been doing for the last few years. Like many of our volunteers they do not own a Packard, but are interested in saving a piece of Detroit's automotive history.
Notice that I continually use the term "volunteers" because that is what they are - no one draws a salary at the PPG.
Best, --Roger--
