DISTRICT 33
VANITY LICENSE PLATES
We need your help with the license plates.
The
Registry of Motor Vehicles will not give us the green light until we have 1500
applications. This is something we should have had years ago and with all
the help we give to our communities, the state, and the world, we still do not
get the recognition due us, and the Registry should be helping us. The
vanity plates are tax deductible. You can get a plate for as low as $40,
but if you want a low number - - 1 to 1000 - - it will cost $140 which includes
a $100 donation to Mass. Eye Research!
If you have any questions about the plates,
please contact me. Every club has received the form for the license
plates. I have the number list of issued plates (given on a first
come-first given basis). The forms and checks may be mailed to me Gary Saccocia, Sr. or to PDG Paul Wagner.

acceptable to have dinner with.
