The past 24 years Street Legends has returned more than $140,000 to the commu- nity, Bost said. “Car clubs provide fun entertainment and cruise opportunities for members,” Bost said. “But not all car clubs capture and incorpo- rate the spirit of “paying it forward” to their community. Over the last 24 years, it has become the driving mission of the Charlevoix Street Leg- ends Classic Car Club to help promote and sponsor very worthy programs within the Charlevoix community.” “Though our member- ship represents a wide range of walks of life, we remain united in our vision to help others,” she added. “We hope to bring more than 150 cars to the 24th annual car show and provide a day of fun for all ages, while raising funds to distribute to local community programs later in the year.” For a registration applica- tion and/or more informa- tion, visit streetlegends.net, or call Luann Keinath at (231) 547-3838, Screen Masters Inc at (231) 547-5111, or Treasure Eggers at (231) 237-4280.
