Well, it was a sad day, but in the end, a productive one; made so by the spirit of our intrepid members who clearly want our club and our hobby to not only survive - but to thrive, even in these troubled times.

It was sad, because yesterday was the day we learned that Salinas Valley Dodge/Chrysler is no more - one more victim of our troubled economy; and while that means we lose a great sponsor and good place to meet, that's nothing compared to the loss that the employees there are feeling right now. My heart and hopes go out to them.

Jim Manuian of SVD/C was gracious to the end (in fact in his mind it doesn't have to be the end - making him probably the only FORD dealer to ever offer up his lot for a PT Cruiser club to came and hold meetings!); he stopped by while were having lunch near by and made his apologies for not being able to give us longer notice; and to extend his invitation. We thanked him profusely.

But the day was productive in that we covered a lot of ground with our Spring Fever plans, the bulk of which I'll post in that forum. Suffice it to say for now that we have a date - May 30^th (afternoon and evening) and May 31^st (all day) and a location - Royal Oaks Park in beautiful Prunedale, CA.
