It pains us to announce that Bruce Bender passed away last evening.  Bruce was a great supporter to our Club and a true Chevelle Enthusiast. As many of you know, the Benders own a 65 Convertible Chevelle and a 67 Convertible Chevelle. We will miss him.  His wife Mel is another true Chevelle Enthusiast and our thoughts and prayers will be with her.
