Brickhaus,
Tacos are the main staple in these parts. You and all our other VW friends are welcome in Yuma anytime.
Doug,
It will be great to have you back in town. Let me know if you need any help with additional hotel arrangements for your pop.
Alright, to much talk from me for now, gotta finish packing for the Mogollon Madness campout trip in the morning. |

LOL... Damn Lou, it looks like we may need to make a special trip over the border to get "Hatch Top" some dentures. I don't see a tooth in his head, did he leave them all in the mailman's leg? Anyway, Hatch Top and the rest of the Havasu crew are always welcome. |

Thanks Mark. The Tucson Bus Mob is welcome in Yuma as well as all other VW clubs, groups, and individuals. It will be nice to meet these guys if they come, but if they don't I plan on being at Chirco this year to meet them. |

We had a great meeting tonight and voted on a t-shirt design and color. It is an awesome shirt, and I promise you are going to want two! This year we decided that we will sell two different colors which will remain a secret until show time. The staff will wear a third color that is different from the rest. Show shirts will be $12.
Every year we offer a preorder of long sleeve show t-shirts for those of you who want long sleeves. So here's the skinny, you must call my number and order by phone providing sizes and how many. Do not leave a message, make sure you talk to me to get on the list. The long sleeves will be $15 and will be the same color as the staff shirts. You must purchase your shirt by 10AM on show day or it will be sold to someone else. The cut off date to order the long sleeves is October 7th at 5PM.
Thanks everyone, the Yuma folks are busy as hell prepping the place for you! |
