Taking my place will be Eric Goodman, who is our Vice-President at this time as well as President of the largest VW club in the U.S., The VW Thing (Type 181) Registry with over 3500 members. We feel Eric is our best replacement at this time, if he can run a club that has over 3500 members he’s doing something right and can do this as well. Taking over his position as Vice-President will be our own L.A. Chapter President Robert Velis, a.k.a. “VW KIDD”. Robert has done an amazing job with his chapter and putting our name out there and we appreciate it so much, I think he’s a great choice.
