Our club has been invited to a VW employee appreciation picnic on Saturday, June 4 from 3-9 PM. They have a special area indoors for us to park our cars. There will be bouncies, face painting, midway games, jugglers and lots of other entertainment down the Midway Walk.  There will also be a large stage hosting local and regional bands, finishing off with a national musical group and a large fireworks display.

If you have an air-cooled VW and want to have it on display at the event, please arrive no later than 1:45PM to be lined up by 2:00PM. If you can't stay the whole afternoon, arrangements can be made to get your car out before it's over.

A meal will be provided, and additional food can be purchased on the midway. If you plan to attend, again please arrive no later than 1:45PM. You will need an armband to get in, I will be there a little early to pass them out so look for me when you arrive.

For clarification:  They only want air cooled?

We'll try our best.  Mark's mother is very sick right now, so we're trying to adjust and help them out so I'm not positive we can come but we'll try.

BTW: All the notices going out specify air cooled cars.

Eike told me on the phone they just want air-cooled. I honestly don't know.

Yet another case of air cooled rules, water cooled drools?

No problem, we won't come.  Mark and I had been saying for months we were naive when we joined thinking there was an appreciation for ALL VW's by the VW community.  We've had several different VW's in the past, but we wanted to get involved with something inclusive, not exclusive.

It's a shame.

I have only talked to the people at the PR. I just think they didnt know better and only thought of the aircooled cars. Since in Germany, the two groups are pretty much seperated . They also said, if there are a bunch of cars, nobody will say, that they are not allowed to go in.

I'm looking forward to see you all!

Shannon, don't feel bad...Hugh said the same thing last night, but we know that SCVF is one club that takes/embraces anyone with anything.  I know there have even been times when people who WANT a VW, but don't have one are welcomed as well.  There are many clubs out there that only specify one or the other.  This isn't one of them.

That being said, we'll be sitting this one out as well...

Well now, just how many volks folks plan on being there.I dont to be one of two.
