Great Bear Auto Repair and Auto Body Shop in Flushing, NY, recently celebrated its 83rd anniversary while promoting the Women Auto Know program.
From Patrick Donachie’s article on the Times Ledger website:
Great Bear Auto Repair and Body Services in Flushing marked its 83rd anniversary Saturday with a celebration and barbecue.
The event also promoted the work and accomplishments of Women Auto Know, a non-profit started in 2009 by Audra Fordin, the fourth-generation owner of the repair shop. She works to educate female drivers on the intricacies of automobiles to increase their knowledge when taking cars to repair shops.
A fierce rainstorm failed to dampen the spirits of the attendees at the barbecue, held at the auto shop at 164-16 Sanford Ave. The crowd included friends, community members and student volunteers from Lincoln Tech School and Edison Automotive. Fordin said she organized the barbecue as a way for people from different facets of the automotive community to meet each other.
“Everyone’s coming together, not to show their brand, but for the philosophy,” Fordin said.
