Hi Wade,
The AACA, too? That's interesting.
Thanks for addressing the topic at your chapter meeting. I hope the other chapters do that, too.

We have seen this within our club and had a discussion at our monthly meeting last night. Apparently other car clubs, such as AACA, are getting the similar emails.

While they might appear to be from the Club President, a check of the actual e-address will reveal something different than the actual e-address of the club president. I've also seen similar ones regarding a writing group I belong to. I just send them to "spam" and forget about them.
