Hello Everyone….. Just a quick note reminding you all to mark your calendars with our upcoming dinner meeting locations for the next couple of months. As always, meeting time is 6:00pm.
Each restaurant also has a very nice lounge for you to enjoy before your meal…
Good morning all…
At last night’s dinner meeting, we welcomed a guest, Alsiha Anderson. Alsiha is the daughter of VBAC member Jim Parnagian and represents the Community Health System, serving as their Project
Manager/Communications Outreach program coordinator. She made a very nice presentation regarding their upcoming Cars For The Cause car show, taking place on May 2, 2026, on the grounds of Clovis Community Hospital.
Proceeds from the event will benefit a much needed expansion of Terry’s House, a facility which provides a “home away from home", for families of patients in critical care at Community Regional Medial Center in Fresno.
Attached, please find their show flier and entry form. Note that a category for British cars has been included in the categories to be judged. Show awards will be provided 3 deep in each category, as well as an award for best In Show. VBAC is pleased to help support this event and grateful for their invitation to the show. Please join me in considering participation at this event, which serves a very worthy cause in the Fresno/Clovis community.
A highlight of their event will be the raffle of a Porsche Speedster replica. Tickets for the raffle are $20 each, and 6 tickets for $100. Also, a fundraising party will be held on Friday night, May 1st. Tickets for that are $240. Complete event information can be found at Cars4theCause.org.Should anyone want to join me in attending, please get in touch so that we can plan to meet and park together at the event.
Thanks very much, Jon.
