Everyone,

Here's a tentative listing of events for 2009. This year I'll strive to send out a monthly announcement in the first week of every month or post up with the event details and exact date(s) for that month! Thanks to everyone for your continued support of RCCAZ!

Everyone,

I know that it's past March 1st and I promised announcements out this year during the first week of the month, but I'm home on Vacation with no access to my club distribution list, so I thought I'd get out an early reminder, then send the "official" announcement next Monday. Current plans for our club picnic are to hold it at Pima Park in Scottsdale (86th Street and Thomas Rd). Plan is to start around NOON with volleyball (7s Vs. 8s) and then wrap up by 4 pm with a caravan up to the Pavs for the Saturday night carshow. More details to come next Monday, but for now... that's it.

Everyone,

NOTE: We've changed the Park location from Scottsdale to Ahwatukee due to the small size of Papago Park near Thomas and Granite Reef.

Join us next Saturday, March 21st, as we meet in Ahwatukee at Mountain Vista Park (50th Street, 1/4 mi North of Ray Road - behind Ahwatukee Foothills Carwash) for our annual club picnic. Festivities begin around 1 pm with rotary-themed games and door prizes. If anyone has a portable volleyball net and ball, please let me know. We'd like to do competitive matches (maybe RX-8s versus RX-7s).

The club will spring for a Costco Party sub and beverages (sodas and water), and guests are welcome. Everyone is encouraged to bring a VERY small side dish. Following the picnic, we'll caravan together up to the Scottsdale Pavillions around 4 pm for the Saturday evening car show. Hope to see you all there!!! Sign up is already established here:

https://www.rx8club.com/west-rx-8-forum-34/2009-rccaz-calendar-events-166226/#post2875201

...or you can just email me to let me know how many are coming and what you'll be bringing.

Directions to the park:

NOTE: DUE TO THE LACK OF GRILLS AT THE PARK, WE WILL BE SERVING UP A COSTCO PARTY SUB WITH DRINKS INSTEAD OF THE BURGERS AND BRATS AS PREVIOUSLY POSTED.


Edit: Went back to the park and checked more carefully. They actually DO have a great Volleyball court. Now all we need is the Ball. Post up if you've got one we can use!!

Well as Fate or luck has it I'll be at the Pavs.

Where ya live JimmyZ?

Thanks for the offer, I didn't check back on here since I didn't have a way there. I'm going to be out of the picture for a while. I have to many personal and family problems to deal with right now but I hope to be able to hang out with the club sometime soon. Take it easy everyone.

Fun time at the RCCAZ picnic. Here are a few pictures.

There was a good showing at the Pavs as well.

Thanks to Tim for putting this on. Wish you could have made it to the Pavs to show off all your hard work on the FD. The car looks amazing, and sounds even better!

All I see is Tim with a Mustache...... I don't see any rotor housings.
