Prez humbled by volunteer drive More than a hundred people who are devoted to making the Langley Good Times Cruise-In possible were given thanks last week. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com
There was much thanks being handed out last Wednesday, following news that this year’s Langley Good Times Cruise-In raised about $16,000 more for charities than it did the year before. During a volunteer thank-you dinner at Cascades Casino, praise was plentiful for the more than 110 people who attended and for all those who had helped prepare and run the annual charity car show last month. “[The dinner] is that moment to give everyone a pat on the back, and say a heartfelt thank you,” said Cruise-In president Eric Taylor.

Caricature artist Blair Howatt, the creator of the annual Langley Good Times Cruise-In posters, autographed one of the beer fridges given out during the recent Cruise-In volunteer thank-you dinner. A copy of this year’s poster was affixed to the two fridges given away. Looking around the room, he said it’s these people who make it a “fantastic” show. “[The Cruise-In board’s nine members] do a
bit of organizing. They’re the ones that make it all work… The volunteers are the ones who make it happen,” Taylor added. “For the size of this show, the ratio of volunteers to participants is incredible,” he said, humbled by the way this community repeatedly pulls together to host this giant charity event. View And Taylor noted that almost more photos everyone he’s met through the with years thinks like he does. They sign on not for the cars but the charities. or online The cars are just a conduit through which to raise much needed money for a series of local organizations, he said. “I know that’s the only reason I’m there. It’s the fact that it’s a charity event that makes it worthwhile,” Taylor said. The figures are still coming, including how much individual service clubs that ran concessions during Cruise-In managed to earn. www.langleyadvance.com
