It’s almost September, and MVPASD is gaining momentum!
First, we would like to welcome our new members and their families. It’s great to see the club continuing to grow, and we’re excited to have you with us.
We have continued participating in events and shows with good success, while meeting lots of great people and supporters along the way. Our vehicle pool is growing too, and it’s becoming a very interesting and eclectic mix. Keep it up!
Convoy Radios
Marc provided radios for our convoy drivers, and they worked great! They helped keep everyone on the same page while traveling together, and we look forward to putting them to more use at future events.
October 4 — Our Local Show!
Don’t forget that October 4 is our local show, and we hope to have a great turnout. Mark your calendar, put it in your phone, set an alarm — whatever it takes!
More information will be coming as we get closer.
We Could Use a Photographer!
We would love to have someone take photos during our events, shows, convoys and parades — especially photos taken from outside the vehicles while everyone is on the move.
If you have a family member or friend who enjoys photography, let us know. Or, if you would like to participate in an event but don’t plan on bringing your vehicle, this could be a great way to join in and help the club.
You don’t have to be a professional photographer — we just want someone who enjoys taking pictures and capturing the fun!
San Diego Automotive Museum Opportunity
The San Diego Automotive Museum has contacted MVPASD about doing a single-vehicle evening display featuring one of our military vehicles.
The evening would cover the vehicle’s specifications, history and use, with the owner having an opportunity to talk about the vehicle while it is on display.
Interested in showing your vehicle but not excited about the public-speaking part? Don’t let that stop you! We can help with the presentation as well as transportation of the vehicle.
This has the potential to become a recurring event, giving us an opportunity to showcase different vehicles from the club.
Interested? Let us know!
MVPASD Pop-Up Canopy
MVPASD is ordering a custom club pop-up canopy for shows and events. It will give us a recognizable home base and help make the club more visible wherever we go.
If you would like to donate toward the cost of the canopy, please let us know. Any contribution is appreciated!
Club T-Shirts?
We’re working on a design for the first MVPASD club T-shirt
something members can wear to shows, parades, club events or just around town.
We want your feedback! What would you like to see on an MVPASD shirt?
New: For Sale Section
A For Sale section has been suggested for the newsletter, so let’s give it a try!
If you have something you would like to sell, submit:
- A photo
- Description
- Asking price
- Your contact information
We’ll include submissions in an upcoming newsletter.
Have You Checked the Website Lately?
Don’t forget about WWW.MVPASD.ORG. There have been lots of changes and updates, and more are on the way.
Take a look and let us know what you think!
Help Us Build the Newsletter
Have photos from a recent event? A story about your vehicle? A restoration project? Something interesting you learned? Send it in!
The newsletter submission deadline is the 20th of each month.
And yes — we need photos and write-ups!
When taking photos for the newsletter, please remember to take them landscape (horizontal) whenever possible.
Thanks to everyone who continues to participate, bring out their vehicles, help behind the scenes and support MVPASD.
Stay tuned — there’s more to come!
The new member handout cards! Please pass them out to everyone!
