Here’s another great opportunity for VBAC to give back to our community. In preparation for the 25th Anniversary of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, there is a need, once again, to help with setting the 400+ American flags along the streets surrounding the 9/11 Memorial, in Clovis. VBAC members have proudly assisted with this program for the past four years and it would be great if we can make another strong showing. I will be attending again this year (with my brother-in-law) to lend a hand in the process. Should any of you have a desire, and are able to be of assistance, your help is greatly appreciated. If you plan to attend, please drop me an email so that I have an idea of how many folks we will have out there. Please meet me at the memorial’s support warehouse, located on the N/W corner of Villa Avenue and W Pontiac Way, on Saturday August 29th, between 0700 and 0715. This facility is located east of Peach and South of Ashlan. Wear your VBAC t-shirts if you have one! It doesn’t matter what color you choose. Parking is best, in the lot accessible off of Villa, just to the north of this building. Thank you, in advance, for your consideration. Jon.

The 35th Annual Central Coast All British Car Show on September 27 at Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard is coming up fast. The early registration deadline is September 1st. Registering early gets you a discount for your entry and a free Show t shirt. In addition, since the Show sets up its classes bases on entries as of September 1st, an early entry can help create more classes. 3 of a kind make up a class. With our new Eventbrite registration page at http://www.eventbrite.com/e/35th-annual-all-british-car-show-tickets-1986728411159 you can register easily.
