And the tradition continues! This past weekend, our members provided standby medical services at the NASCAR races 🏎️ as the volunteers have since late 1950s when NASCAR came to Richmond VA in 1953.

Thank you to our members who took the time to provide support for the standby at a no cost service. We will see you next year on the raceway!

So, I periodically check eBay for Tuckahoe related items. I've found patches and random gifts that were given to members at the annual Banquet but this one amazed me. It was for sale from a collector in Florida, found in a thrift shop. I bought it before it was lost forever. Quality built and detailed. Has a date of 2004 written on the underside. Anyone have a clue who made this?

It's almost here. This is our new unit at the Wheeled Coach factory near Orlando. The Vice President and Treasurer were flown down there to inspect the unit for any details that may need addressed before the factory team delivers it. We are looking forward to this new unit to assist in helping the citizens and visitors of Henrico.
