After much thought and input from Friends of Hellé, the decision has been made to postpone the placing of the marker for Hellé Nice until September of 2010. It is thought that having it coincide with the annual Bugatti gathering at Molshiem, it may insure there are many more Bugattis and enthusiasts in the area to attend the memorial. I really would like to see the French Bugatti enthusiasts as well as racing and classic car enthusiasts have a wonderful "once in a lifetime" procession from Paris to Ste. Mesme! Be a part of history! Anyone or any club making a $500.00 donation will have a plaque placed on the back of the Hellé Nice marker to commemorate their gift.
The postponement until Sept 2010 will also provide much more time for planning and coordinating runs/rallies with the Bugatti Clubs all over the globe to raise the funds needed for the project. I am urging anyone with an interest in historic womens racing, Alfa's, Bugattis, or enthusiasts in general who would like to help commemorate the resting place of a female racing legend to contact me. There's lots to do! If anyone can help get the Bugatti folks at Molshiem to recognize what the Foundation is doing and give support, please let me know!
Thanks!
