Chapter Update:
At the Annual Meeting in December, we discussed the concept of monthly
gatherings. Since then we have made arrangements for regular informal member
gatherings. During the winter months they will be held at 6:30 PM on the
third Wednesday of every month beginning January 15, 2003 and be referred to
as "Shop Talk" meetings. For the warmer months we will get together at
"Drive-in" type places around the area (event name pending, any
suggestions?). While the concept may need some tweaking, this is the plan:
Shop Talk will be held during the months of October through April and we
will gather at the Griffin Ford Shop (not the Used Car building where we
have previously held our board meetings). This facility will allow a club
member or Griffin to bring a car or truck of interest inside and we will
have the use of the Lunch Room for round table discussion of the current hot
SVT topics, upcoming events, and general conversation among ourselves. Mike
has arranged for Griffin Ford to pick up the tab for pizza and soda (thanks
Vilas! ) so come hungry and be ready to Talk Shop!
During the months of May through September, we will gather at some more
traditional "Drive-in" type places around town like Wayne's, Georgie
Porgie's, the Kiltie, etc. (we need those suggestions for a name). This will
hopefully make it so there is a place to gather throughout the Summer that
is in your neck of the woods. This will also give us a chance to show off
our rides a little as well as to get a look at the competition. Meeting
dates will be selected in the third week of each month on a day which will
allow us to catch the "hot night" for the respective location.
With the recent revision of the web site our webmaster Greg added a calendar
feature. We will be posting there as well as on our the Events Forum. Please
take a moment and click on the calendar button at the top of the page next
to the Chapter Banner on either the main page or any message board page.
I am hoping many of you can make it as Shop Talk offers an opportunity to
get to know your fellow SVTOA members a little better and share some of your
car experiences, good or bad. Let's put some faces (and cars) to member
names!
