It was the perfect day with a great breeze for the 2024 South Florida Region Picnic, with over 80+ members in attendance it turned out to be a great success. The BBQ was catered by Shorty’s BBQ as it was last year, for a delish helping of Ribs, Chicken, Baked Beans, Corn on the Cob and we had an amazing  bunch of appetizers, side dishes and desserts presented by our members! Prizes were given to the selected side dishes presented by members and judged on by members as well.

We had many members come out with their antique and classic cars to the event, some won awards for traveling the longest distance, others for oldest vehicle in attendance. We also had a raffle give away and as a new surprise we gave away two renewals for 2025 to the winning members. Waldo Duran and George Harvey each won a South Florida Region renewal for the 2025 membership. 

We originally had 103 members register for the event so we had plenty of left over BBQ, but nothing went to waste, all leftovers were donated by Manny & Millie Garcia to Zasha Gomez-Chavez & Jesus Chavez who  packed and delivered to downtown Miami to feed some of the homeless. In total more than 70 meals were provided to individuals in need. See second gallery with pictures. AACA South Florida Region Feeding the homeless and needy.
