Can someone advise me who I can contact in the Northeast Chapter of AHCA (with
contact info) -to see if this is being done in my area?

  This idea originated at the AHCA Presidents forum held at Conclave in
  June. I can't attach it, but here is the text of the note sent out July
  5 by Robb Handshuh, President of the Atlanta club, and originator of the
  idea. It has since gained momentum and involves several clubs at this
  point. Robb's email is handshuhrm@juno.com

  "Hope yall who attended the 2005 Conclave had a safe trip home and
  everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July Holiday.

  One of the items discussed at the Conclave chapter presidents meeting was
  getting the cars out in the public to keep up interest and awareness of
  Healey cars.  An idea that was tossed around at Margaritaville later that
  evening was an AHCA National Ice Cream Social.

  This is my proposal for an AHCA National Ice Cream Social. On Sunday
  August 28, each chapter will select a location to meet for an afternoon /
  early evening ice cream run. For chapters with large geographical
  coverage, like Atlanta, more than one location could be selected. On that
  day each chapter records the number of people and cars that showed up,
  take some pictures (optional) and I will volunteer to do a quick write-up
  for the Healey Marque on the total number of people and cars attending
  across the country.

  The Ice Cream Social gets the cars out in the public eye in an informal
  setting. My experience has been Ice Cream shops are busy places in the
  evening, generally families with kids that rarely get to see a Healey.
  (Future Fifty?) Being held as a local event, it requires a minimal
  investment in time / funds to participate. If we can get just 5 % of the
  3800 AHCA members to participate that equates to almost 200 Healeys out
  on display across the US on one evening.

  Let me know what you think 
  Robb Handshuh, Atlanta"
