Car Club donates to two girls' organizations

FALLBROOK – On Oct. 12, the Bonsall/Fallbrook Girl Scouts Service Unit held their annual Pinewood Derby at St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church; in addition to providing people to judge the event, the Fallbrook Vintage Car Club (FVCC) provided a donation toward purchase of the pinewood blocks and necessary supplies for the race.

Prior to the start of racing, Miss Fallbrook Claire Ginther, Fallbrook Republican Women’s Club representative Carol Larner and FVCC members Glen Patterson, Jeanne and Joe Cusimano and Chuck Tillotson judged all of the vehicle entries and selected the winners for aesthetic design awards. Awards for the design categories were:

• Best of Show: Cassidy MacMillian

• Most Unusual: Genevieve Culkin

• Most Bling: Taylor Marshall

• Peoples Choice: Natalie Schumann

This year, the overall race winners were Peyton-Isis Bedolla (Pre K-1st grade) who took first place with Taylor Marshall (2nd/3rd grades) taking second place, while Mikayla Gioia (4th/5th grades) took third place.

The FVCC also presented a donation to the Fallbrook Girls Volleyball Boosters organization after receiving a request from its treasurer, Manou Allison. The boosters raise money to provide financial support for the needs of the teams that are not covered by the Fallbrook High School budget.

The girls volleyball team has three divisions: varsity, junior varsity, and novice. This year, the non-profit booster club has specifically targeted the use of donation funds for the purchase of new equipment and uniforms as well as paying tournament fees.

The FVCC is proud to have provided donations to the girls volleyball teams and the Girl Scouts in a continuing effort to ‘give back’ to non-profit groups in the Fallbrook community.
