Welcome to the Civitan Club of Perth. It is my pleasure to greet you as the president of this wonderful service club. The Perth Civitan club was chartered in June 1965 and has been providing continuous service to Perth area residents since that time. We are the largest service club in the Perth area and the largest Civitan club in Canada, as well as one of the top five Civitan clubs in the world.
With a 128 member club we complete projects such as Adopt- A- Road, Bingo, Business Christmas Party, CHEO Breakfast and Telethon, Sale of Claxton Fruit Cake, Halloween Haunted House and Relay for Life Cancer walk. With the proceeds from these projects, we have been able to contribute over $50,000.00 to local community needs. We also house a Medical equipment Bank which allows local residents the opportunity to use the equipment at no charge.
Civitan International promotes three principle goals: fellowship with each other, knowledge of one’s community, and service to humanity. The mission of Civitan is to unite a volunteer organization of clubs to serve individual and community needs with an emphasis on helping people with developmental disabilities.
I am looking forward to serving as club president for the year 2011-2012. If you are interested in finding out more about Civitan, please feel free to contact myself or any other member. We would be glad to invite you out to a dinner meeting and answer any further questions you may have.
Yours in Civitan,
Bonnie King

CIVITAN INTERNATIONAL
PRESIDENT-ELECT
2012-2013
The Civitan Club of Perth is part of the Civitan International organization. Headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama U.S.A., this organization has over 1,200 clubs in 22 countries worldwide. Although the main focus of the Civitan International is helping people with disabilities, each club operates autonomously, selecting projects which are suitable for their own area. Chartered by Civitan International on June 19, 1965, the Civitan Club of Perth has been serving the needs of the Perth community for over forty-five years. Starting from a group of twenty-seven members, with Russ Ellis as our charter president, the club has grown to its present size of over one hundred and ten active members. Originally meetings were held in rec rooms, restaurants, the Legion and eventually Farrell Hall. In 1977 the decision to construct our own facility was made. Through donated help, reduced fees, a Wintario grant and the efforts of all members at the time, the dream became a reality in 1979. The club welcomed in the new year of 1980 with its first function in the new hall - a New Year's Eve dance. Civitan in Perth has never looked back.
Over the years the Civitan Club of Perth has supported many worthwhile causes in the area. The first street signs in the town of Perth were acquired with the assistance of Civitan. The Civitan Club of Perth also helped to establish the Perth Day Care Centre and the former Civitan Playground at the Stewart School. We have also provided funds to assist with the construction and/or operation of the Perth and District Indoor Pool, the Perth and District Union Library, Great War Memorial Hospital of Perth and District, Conlon Farm recreational facilities, Lanark Lodge, the Tay Valley Non Profit Housing Corporation and Algonquin College. Community involvement is not only giving money. The Civitan Club of Perth participates in various facets of the community such as the Santa Claus Parade, Perth Fair Parade, Tree Lighting at the Crystal Palace, Halloween Haunted House and the Festival of the Maples. We also provide a free Christmas dinner for seniors and a Breakfast with Santa for the kids. During the Ice Storm of '98, the Civitan Club of Perth opened its hall, twenty-four hours a day for twelve days, to anyone who required a warm meal or a warm place to stay. Civitan recognizes the importance of our youth and those less fortunate than ourselves. In 1974, the Civitan Club of Perth initiated a Citizenship Award which is presented to the student, in each of the area schools, best exemplifying good citizenship in the home, school and community. The Civitan Club of Perth also helps sponsor the Special Olympics, supports Big Brothers/Big Sisters and assists with the Children's Miracle Network Telethon on an annual basis. The Civitan Club of Perth also sponsors a Junior Civitan Club for youth in the community between the ages of 11 and 18. In order to raise the funds necessary to support these various causes, the Perth Civitan Club is always challenged to initiate new projects. In the past there was very little that the Civitan Club of Perth did not attempt to do to raise money to reinvest in our community. Do you remember when the Civitan Club of Perth held these events? Air Shows, Spring Formals, Wayne Rostad Concert, Stompin Tom Connors Show, Country Music Jamboree, Julie Lynn Show, Glass Turkey Draws, Craft Sales, Montreal Old-timers Hockey Game, Civitan Auctions, Steak Barbecues, Dunk A Cop, Win A Trip Draw, 150 Club Draws, Chinese Night, Hawaiian Night, Sno-Do 100, Line Dancing. As a result of its efforts during the 1997-1998 , 1999-2000 and the 2000-2001 years, the Civitan Club of Perth was recognized by Civitan International as the most outstanding Civitan club throughout the world. This prestigious honour has never before been awarded to a club in Canadian District East and only once in Canadian District West.

The classic vehicle hobby in North America is huge. Eastern Ontario is no exception. This area has many local car clubs, all of which are formed by passionate classic vehicle owners to promote the restoration, display and safe operation of these great old cars and trucks. Last summer, your local area car club, the Tay Touring Club of Perth, held their 2010 annual Mike Bowes Memorial Cruise-In at the Perth Civitan Club. The event was a huge success and as a consequence a conversation was initiated with the intent of a more formal union of the two clubs. The agreed outcome was establishment of the Civitan Classic Cruisers. With this merger the classic vehicle hobby in Perth and surrounding area remains alive and healthy and the opportunity for the Civitan Club of Perth to raise funds for their many good community causes is enhanced. It’s a win win.
The major activity of the Civitan Classic Cruisers, during each summer season, is as host for a regular Monday night cruise-in. The 2011 Monday Night Cruise-In started May 23, at the Perth Civitan Club and will run through September 5. Each cruise-in typically starts about 6:00 pm. and runs until dusk. A barbeque is operated so burgers and hot dogs are available for those that don’t have time for super at home. All classic vehicle enthusiasts are welcome to attend. If you don’t own a classic vehicle, no matter, you are welcome to come out and enjoy the view.
At each cruise-in all classic car owners will have the opportunity to win door prizes, provided by local area sponsors. Good old classic rock and roll will be playing in the back ground throughout the evening .
Annual registration for the Civitan Classic Cruisers is $20. Registration will provide:
Membership to the Civitan Club of Perth or the Civitan Classic Cruisers is not required for classic vehicle owners or fans to attend the Monday Night Cruise-In or the Annual Mike Bowes Memorial Cruise-In. In-addition membership to the Perth Civitan Club is not required to be a registered participant in the Civitan Classic Cruisers. Come on out and participate in the Perth Monday Night Cruise-in. You will enjoy some great old classic vehicles, maybe make some good new friends and be supporting local area good causes, all at the same time.

1950 Chevy 1300, ½ ton Panel Van (Canadian Version)
When Purchased: 1991
How did he find his ride?
Dave had been looking everywhere in the States for his ideal truck to restore. But as luck would have it none were a perfect fit for him. After yet another fruitless trip Dave was on his way home and for some reason he decided on the back route home from Ottawa. While passing by a farmer’s field he noticed that a garage had caved in from the snow. Now you know how something’s are just meant to be, well this was one of those times. The sun broke through the clouds and caught the rolling metal of a 1950 Chevy Panel van that had been in that garage. Dave thinking this was too good to be true carried on the rest of the way home. The next day he had to return to the farmer and take a chance that he would part with the vehicle. After a good chin wag, and a mental kick in the butt for Dave for haggling over $500.00, the deal was done. Having to flatbed this beauty back, Dave and his buddies at Steve’s Body Shop got to work. After some fine tuning, and heavy hits on some seized parts she was moving. Two years later she was show worthy. You can see Dave’'s panel van and other great vehicles at the Civitan Classic Cruiser, Cruise- in night, every Monday night throughout the summer
Chevrolet panel vans, not to be confused with the cab-over-engine 1964 through 1996 Chevy vans, are windowless panel trucks used primarily for commercial deliveries. The Chevrolet panel van is the commercial version of the Suburban. Other Chevy trucks converted to panel vans existed before the Suburban debuted in 1936, but they were not official General Motors models. The Suburban and its twin sister, the GMC Carryall, were introduced in 1936 and 1937, respectively, as station wagons, with models manufactured specifically for the Civilian Conservation Corps and the National Guard. The Chevy panel van was equipped with a single front bench seat, with its rear cargo area consisting of all sheet metal and steel ribbed interior side paneling with no insulation, seating or sound-deadening elements. Prewar and early postwar models were powered by a 216-cubic-inch straight six-cylinder engine or a 228-cubic-inch version. Through the 1960s, panel vans were used for commercial purposes until buyers began converting them to campers, with custom interiors that included captain's chairs, plush carpeting and interior wood or vinyl paneling.

1971 Corvette Stingray
The Chevrolet Corvette (C3) is a sports car produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors for the 1968 through 1982 model years. Corvette chief Zora Arkus-Duntov wanted a striking new Corvette; although engines and chassis components were mostly carried over from the previous generation, its body and interior were new. "Though initially flawed, the 1968 like the 1958, would improve and mature into a car precisely right for its time."[1] The so-called Shark was produced during one of the most troubled periods in America: civil unrest, burgeoning federal guidelines, fuel economy and pollution regulations, oil embargoes, rising fuel and insurance costs, runaway inflation, and a lingering recession. Through it all the third generation Corvette continued to set new sales records with an all-time high of 53,807 produced for the 1979 model year. n 1970, fender flares were designed into the body contours to reduce wheel-thrown debris damage. New were egg-crate grills with matching front fender side vents and larger squared front directional lamps. The previously round dual exhaust outlets were made larger and rectangular in shape. Interiors were tweaked with redesigned seats and a new deluxe interior option combined wood-grain wood accents and higher-spec carpeting with leather seat surfaces. Positraction rear axle, tinted glass, and a wide-ratio 4-speed manual transmission were now standard.
The 350 cu in (5.7 L) base engine (ZQ3) remained at 300 hp (224 kW) and the L46 was again offered as a 350 hp (261 kW) high performance upgrade. New was the LT-1, a 350 cu in (5.7 L) small-block V8 engine delivering a factory rated 370 hp (276 kW). It was a solid lifter motor featuring a forged steel crankshaft, 4-bolt main block, 11:1 compression ratio, impact extruded pistons, high-lift camshaft, low-restriction exhaust, aluminum intake manifold, 4-barrel carburetor, and finned aluminum rocker covers. The new engine, making up less than 8% of production, could not be ordered with air conditioning but was fitted with a domed hood adorned with “LT-1” decals. Motor Trend in May 1970, clocked an LT-1 covering the quarter mile in 14.36 seconds at 101.69 mph and remarked, “There is Corvette and there is Porsche. One is the best engineering effort of America, the other of Germany. The difference in machines is not as great as the disparity in price.” A special ZR1 package added racing suspension, brakes, stabilizer bars, and other high performance components to LT-1 cars. Big-block selection was down to one engine but displacement increased. The LS5 was a 454 cu in (7.4 L) motor generating 390 hp (291 kW) and accounted for a quarter of the cars. A second big-block, the 460 hp (343 kW) 454 cu in (7.4 L) LS7, was planned and appeared in Chevrolet literature but is not believed to have ever been delivered to retail customers.
A short model year resulted in a disproportionately low production volume of 17,316, down nearly 60%.[8] Rare options: ZR1 special engine package (25), shoulder belts in convertibles (475), LT-1 engine (1,287). 1971 cars were virtually identical in appearance to the previous model inside and out. This was the final year for the fiber optics light monitoring system, the headlight washer system, and the M22 heavy duty 4-speed manual gearbox. For the first time, air conditioning was installed on most of the cars, with nearly 53 percent so ordered.[4] Engines were detuned with reduced compression ratios to tolerate lower octane fuel. The small blocks available were the 350 cu in (5.7 L) base engine, which dropped to 270 hp (201 kW), and the high performance LT-1, now listed at 330 hp (246 kW). The LS5 454 cu in (7.4 L) motor was carried over and produced 365 hp (272 kW). Offered in ‘71 only was the LS6 454 cu in (7.4 L) big-block featuring aluminum heads and delivering 425 hp (317 kW), highest of the 1970-72 series, and could be ordered with an automatic transmission. The ZR1 option was carried over for LT-1 equipped cars and the ZR2 option, offered this year only, provided a similar performance equipment package for LS6 cars, and restricted transmission to a 4-speed manual.[4] Rare options: ZR1 special engine package (8), ZR2 special engine package (12), LS6 425-hp engine (188), shoulder belts in convertibles (677).
1972 was the last year for chrome bumpers at both front and rear, the vacuum actuated pop-up windshield wiper door, as well as the removable rear window common to all 1968-72 coupes.[9] The key activated anti-theft alarm system became standard. The increasingly popular choice of an automatic transmission was installed in most corvettes for the first time, with nearly 54 percent so equipped.[10] This year SAE net measurement for horsepower was now utilized (away from the previous SAE gross standard), and was largely responsible for the much lower engine output figures such as the 200 hp (149 kW) rating on the standard 350 cu in (5.7 L) motor. This was the final year for the LT-1 engine, rated at 255 hp (190 kW), and the ZR1 racing package built around it. Although the M22 HD 4-speed was no longer a Regular Production Option, it continued to be fitted to cars outfitted with the ZR1 package.[11] The LT-1 could now be ordered with air conditioning, a combination not permitted the two previous years. The LS5 454 cu in (7.4 L) big block was again available and came in at 270 hp (201 kW). Noteworthy is in ’72 the LS5 was not available to California buyers.[12] This was the beginning of a trend where Chevrolet restricted certain power train choices to Golden State buyers due to that state's practice of applying more stringent emission (smog) standards than mandated by federal regulations.
Convertibles were a vanishing breed by ‘72,[13] and the Stingray was no exception. It sold only 6,508 copies, amounting to 9% of the market, placing it number three;[14] it was beaten by the number one-selling Cutlass Supreme, with 11,571, but beat the Impala's 6,456 and the Mustang's 6,401.[14] Rare options: ZR1 special engine package (20), shoulder belts with convertibles (749), LT1 engine option (1,741).
