The Motor Transport Association of Connecticut (MTAC) had their annual luncheon on Thursday, October 29th, 2009
With the honorable Governor M. Jodi Rell on hand and our Connecticut Truck Driving Champions were on the spot light once again.
This time to receive their jackets and patches for winning in the 2009 TDC season
Congratulations goes to Tony Spero for winning the
2009 Comprehensive Driver Award
and Bruce Thompson for winning the
2009 MTAC Driver of the Year
to benefit the
Make-A-Wish Foundation of Connecticut
in memory of Bob Toce and Chris Perry
was a huge success again!
Thank you one and all for attending the 10th anniversary of this event. With your help and generosity the Wishes On Wheels Committee raised $75,000 for Make-A-Wish and hosted 470 trucks that day.
This brings the total donated over the last ten years well over $550,000
Check out a few of the aerial photos thanks to the awesome supporters from Whelen Engineering
