2 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Hello FCA Southwest Region Members, First, I would like to thank the Board of Directors for bestowing on me this great honor of serving as President of the Southwest Region of FCA for the next two years. I also want to thank the membership at large for once again voting for me to serve another term on this Board. This is a very serious commitment to me, and I will do all in my power, along with the UPCOMING EVENTS help of a great Board, to continue in the tradition of providing the best events, along with a 8th Annual Mystery Ride great magazine for our members to enjoy with their families and their magnificent cars. 8th Annual Concorso Ferrari I have stated often and loudly that in my opinion this is the best car club anyone could be Grand Canyon Tour a member. I say that because of the people. The members who participate in events, the South Coast Botanical Gardens members who always have time to share their experience, the members who are of service Annual Picnic to the club, the members of the board, and yes, of course the cars that bring this all together. 2015 FCA Annual Meet in Monterey Let’s not forget our advertisers, they are the backbone of our magazine, and sponsors of Italian Night many an event. Patronize them when you can, and thank them often for helping us put out Vandenberg Car Show Weekend a world-class magazine. See you at the next event! This is a car club that is about fun. Fun drives, fun trips, fun tours, and fun members. This club excels at that. So mark those calendars for the events that interest you. In the next three months we will put on the 8th Annual Mystery Ride, Concorso Ferrari in Pasadena, First Saturday and Sunday meets and drives, The Annual Picnic, The Grand Canyon Event, and many others. Come to one or come to all, and don’t forget tell a friend who is not yet a mem - PAST PRESIDENTS ber to come and enjoy one of our events. Better yet, ask them to join and they can come on all the trips and join in on the fun.
