I thought this might be worth posting on the website. I went last year and it was a great time in a great place. This year they’re highlighting sports cars of the 60’s. If we can get 10 or more club members to participate, we will receive a 10 x 10 space to display Healey stuff and talk about the club. Maybe even get a few more folks to sign on.
In any event, September is a great time to be in central Oregon, not too hot. We could organize a caravan over and maybe get several houses to share among the club members.

Dear Automotive Enthusiasts,
We really stepped up the Sunriver Festival of Cars and outdid ourselves last year: new venue, new activities, and new sponsors. The folks who participated had a fantastic time.
I would like to personally invite you to join us this year in the Sunriver Festival of Cars. The dates are September 18-20. We will again be using the Meadows Golf Course driving range at the Sunriver Resort as our display venue.
This year’s featured display will be Sports Cars of the 60’s.
Keith Martin, publisher of Sports Car Market, has agreed to be our announcer once again. Keith did a fantastic job last year, and is looking forward to this year’s event. Last year’s band, Smudge, has accepted our invitation to become the Festival band, and is already working on material for this year’s show.
Discounted room rates will be offered by Sunriver Resort. Check our website for details.
Each year, we add a little something new to the event, and this year will be no exception. This year’s show is shaping up to be another great year, but it can only happen with your participation. So, mark your calendar now and make your plans to attend the 2009 Sunriver Festival of Cars.
Participating car clubs get a free 10 x 10 display, if 10 or more club members sign up. What a great setting to promote your club marque!
You can download the registration form on the website after May 1. For further information or questions about becoming a sponsor, contact Barbara Grayson at 503-246-8477.
We all look forward to seeing you in September!
Sincerely,
John Draneas

Rendezvous 2010 Planning Launched
Auction Chair Needed

By: Charlie Frazer, Rendezvous Committee Chair

AHCO members voting by email ballot and voice vote at the May 16 meeting in Wenatchee unanimously approved the Rendezvous Committee’s proposed budget for the event to be held June 28-July 1, 2010 in Eugene.  Earlier this week President Jeff Mach signed the contract with the Valley River Inn that will be the site of the meet.  If you’d like to help out please contact any of the chairpeople listed below.  The latest addition to the team is Steve Day from British Car Ranch whom some of you met on last week’s drive.  Our most pressing need at the moment is for someone to organize the auction that, as most of you know, is a major source of revenue to defray costs of the event.  Please contact me if you’re willing to take this on.

I’d also like to recruit a Hospitality chair whose job would be to see that each aspect of the event is as pleasant as possible for our guests.  This could start with organizing shifts of greeters at check-in on Monday.
Please give serious thought to whether you could organize the auction.

The Club membership overwhelmingly approved the proposed budget for the 2010 Rendezvous in Eugene, allowing the Rendezvous Committee to continue its planning for the event.  We received 116 votes from 59 membership households.

The Committee is searching for a Club member to organize a benefit auction one evening of the event that will help offset some of the Rendezvous costs.  Please contact Rendezvous Committee Chairman, Charlie Frazer, to volunteer for the job.

Club members who didn’t receive a ballot for the Rendezvous budget vote via email or who would like to receive ballots for officer elections and expenditure votes in the future, please provide your current email address to our Membership Chair, Skip Monaco.  The email address published in the membership directory is most likely the one we are using for you and if it isn’t correct, you may be missing direct emails to the membership.

Thanks.
